This covers the week of 2/7/21 - 2/13/21.
dork
The role she's been asked to audition for is an improbable one: the effortlessly gorgeous, socially awkward female nerd who's such a dork but never really says or does anything unattractive, she's just, you know, a dork with glasses and fashionable heels.
icy
The pond is clinking with ice, the shores crusty with slush and mud.
knotty
I meet him for the first time beside a tree with a heart-shaped knot.
lacework
Low branches turned to lacework by the snow.
mafia
The head and torso of the snowman are propped up on a bench, like a grim warning from the snowman mafia. ("Double-cross us, and you too will be disassembled before you melt.")
timeworn
It's cute how the author thinks that pairing a character in his 60s with a woman in her 20s is edgy.
unhelpful
"My problems," she says, "are about not asking for help when I need it, and getting the kind of help that holds me back."
