Today's words

nimiety /nih-MYE-uh-tee/ - excess, redundancy

I tend to agree with the post author's evaluation of this word's self-applicability. I like it anyway, along with its adjectival form nimious.

lucubration /loo-kyuh-BRAY-shun/ - laborious or intensive study; also : the product of such study — usually used in plural

I guess I enjoy my not-so-lucubratious vocabulary pursuits.

even if i were to completely stop messaging you, i don't think i'd think about you any less. reminders of you are everywhere.

i'm so glad i've never let my thoughts get out of line. yes, you're on my mind often, but always with prayers that you are walking in God's plan for you.

Today's words

canicular /kuh-NIK-yuh-ler/ - of or relating to the period between early July and early September when hot weather occurs in the northern hemisphere

I was familiar with this word but hadn't heard it in long enough to recall it when I saw it this time.

métier /MET-yay/ - 1. vocation, trade  2. an area of activity in which one excels : forte

Another somewhat familiar word. Probably would have understood both of these in context.

asseverate /uh-SEV-uh-rayt / - to affirm or declare positively or earnestly

Because, you know, sometimes you just need a four-syllable synonym for "assert." At least it's a new word for my vocabulary.

I'm across the hallway from where i belong because my wife is angry at me.

It feels as if I'm across the street.

My only reason tonight: to not hurt others.

It's weird

I seem to do better with purity of thought when I am in the midst of trials.
