This covers the week of 11/24/19 - 11/30/19.
cafeteria
Gossip, bickering, utensils rustling, the scrape of chairs, the shuffle of sore feet.
cathode
He's happy that I've finally agreed to let him buy me a TV to replace the outdated (but still functioning) cube I've been using so far.
choosing
I sign up for some health insurance, avoiding a pushy salesperson and opting for website enrollment. Not really happy with different aspects of the coverage, but it seems the best of a sorry bunch.
fishy
Currently, his favorite stuffed animals are fish. He lines them up on the carpet, while his older brother asks if it's normal for a kid to have so many stuffed fish. (Responding with a pun, carp-e diem, probably isn't acceptable.)
germy
Bogged down with a cold, she receives orders to quarantine herself at one end of the table.
liberate
I loosen the manacles of emotional manipulation and set out to do as I planned.
perusing
Even late in the evening, the bookstore is full of people who have wedged themselves onto windowsills and into narrow aisles to read.
