Conditional formatting date help needed

I've been trying to use conditional formatting to help automate my work spreadsheet and the date formulas truly escape me. I feel like TODAY is a meany who likes to stick their tongue out at you and point for being stupid XD.

This is a spreadsheet with a schedule on it. I am trying to get it to automatically grey out the text when the date passes so I can sort and filter by color and always keep the next upcoming appointment slot be top of the list, while still keeping the data in this sheet because another sheet refers to it via XLOOKUP.

Here's the formula I'm using =AND($B$2<TODAY(), $D$2<> "") Column D is client names, for privacy purposes I didn't copy that. They end at D11, if it matters. I'm not sure why excel is treating the dates in May as if they are less than today, when they're not. Does anyone have any ideas?
