Hey everybody, thank you so much for all your comments. I have a quick update about the spider at the end of this clip, so stay tuned. It was pretty exciting this morning. Today is my birthday, which I guess it's now in the past since you're watching this in the future. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I wanted to actually provide a little update about what a bluestocking is because I saw a couple questions and comments about it and it is on the website, but just a brief description of it and if you kind of go down the rabbit hole. Like I did, you will find out that it is a term from the 1700s about a group of mostly women, but also men who would get together and talk about science and philosophy and art and literature and anything that was intellectually stimulating to them. So they would invite guests and they would meet in these salons and it was quite proper. However, they would say don't wear, don't worry about wearing your black stockings, which were the silk stockings at the time. Just go ahead and wear your blue stockings. And I kind of thought it was the equivalent of like just like come in your sweats. It's like super cash. Like come and come talk about fun, interesting things and don't get fancy. So anyway, I loved that idea of just a casual conversation, but also getting together with people who are like minded and folks who aren't like minded, maybe that have different opinions and just really talking about things that you find interesting. I want to learn more about so very on brand for what Bluestocking Health is. And yeah, it was a great way to celebrate my birthday today. So thank you everybody. Update on the spider. So he did decide to come out this morning while I was making breakfast and he jumped out of the flowers and we have a little video of him. He alone of the flowers. So cute. OK, Fortunately the girls, my daughters were sitting right there and we saved him and and put him outside. No spiders were in fact injured. So anyway, thanks for coming along and excited to share more stories and talk to you more about blue stocking health in the future. Thanks.
