And here’s my widgets for this morning; I’ve been awake a little less than an hour and enjoying coffee and waking up, then I’ll have my morning workout.

In this situation, both Resources and Recovery are similar, but I’d mark them both as slightly pessimistic to how I feel, which I’d say is closer to 85% than under 70%.
I dual wear an Apple Watch and I have two apps that give me a ranking from Apple’s data. “The Outsiders” app has me more pessimistic at 51% readiness, which they write out as “recovery being fine, not flawless,” and Bevel, which oddly also gives me 51% recovery (these two apps are usually in the same area but rarely agree identically).
What all these things are likely signaling on is my HR didn’t dip quite as much as normal. Suunto shows 51 (average 49) but it tends to read higher than Apple, where last night was low of 48, and my average is 44. This is almost certainly due to having a double IPA along dinner, as these days I have alcohol rarely and it tends to affect my overnight HR when I do. However, one drink typically doesn’t make me off my game the next day, so I’m not adjusting my plans too much for today’s workout.
