Day 44 - Distrait

David had a tough time at his unemployment class/seminar on Monday. I think he found that he was distrait because of the stress of starting his job search. He's worried that he won't be able to focus or learn in a job setting...I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

Day 43 - Pecuniary

I'll admit, one of the reasons that I'm anxious for David to get back to work if for purely pecuniary concerns. We need his income, and I'll feel much safer and more secure when I know he's back at work!

Day 42 - Aubade

It's still too dark in the morning, during my walk to the bus stop, for the birds to be singing their aubades. But, it won't be long before it is a little bit brighter out, and then I expect to be greeted with songs and whistles as I head down the road!

Day 41 - Gelid

It has been really nice this week (some rain) but the temperatures have been mild. And I've been noticing that it's staying lighter later, which is so nice! When the air is gelid, and your breath comes out in puffs, that is one of my favorite times to go out walking with Sophie. But, I have to admit that I am getting more and more anxious for spring and warmer weather. The crocus are starting to bloom in the yard and I want more color to come bursting from the ground in our garden!

Day 40 - Mondegreen

I can remember Dana and I driving around in her car (this was probably 1986 or '87) and the Billy Ocean song "Caribbean Queen" came on, but she thought that I was singing "Making Chinese Food"....I still don't know how she came up with that mondegreen!

Day 39 -Penchant

I have such a penchant for luxury items, and I'm finding myself 'shopping' online at sites like Rue La La, Haute Look...ugh, I've got to stop, my spending has been way up lately!

Day 38 - Rapacious

Ugh, I have not tried to use any words in a week! I guess I thought that David might remind me! I do think my nature is sometimes rapacious, in that I have a need to take what I want, and demand the things I need. I probably don't allow others to get their fair share sometimes, and I'm sure I'm thought of poorly for that.
