Day 4,366: Holland

Day 4,366: Holland

Making it another brief entry tonight because it’s already snooze time and I still want to do some Roman Reading. Gary and Derrick are having a baby. She’s coming soon, so they had a baby shower today and we went. It was the most heartwarming thing in the world....

Day 4,365: mon

It’s late so I’m gonna be quick about it. Long week! My lord. And gonna be a busy weekend too. All good stuff though, thank goodness. Work was busy. Busy busy busy. I got everything done I needed to, though. For the most part. I do need to get some uploads going over...

Day 4,364: Lifeline

Day 4,364: Lifeline

Today’s fine distinction is “Accuracy” versus “Precision.” So, to be “accurate” has to do with how close you are to the correct answer. To be “precise” has to do with how close or fine you are measuring. Fuzzy. So, here’s the example the book uses. A jar has, in fact,...

Day 4,363: A Quick

Day 4,363: A Quick

Making it quick tonight bc I’m wiiiiped…but a good day. Rough writing-wise in that I just wasn’t that productive, but I think I might have found fresh resolve at the very end. Tomorrow will be a better day. Night night.

Day 4,362: Ma Boi

Day 4,362: Ma Boi

Our fine distinction this evening is “assume” versus “presume.” A pretty clear distinction here, I think! “Assume” means to suppose without proof. “Presume” means to do the same, but with confidence and authority. So, both mean to take something as fact without proof,...

Day 4,361: Joi

Day 4,361: Joi

My favorite thing about snuggling into bed is Joy falling asleep on me. She licks my face, slides down into the crook of my shoulder and arm…and falls asleep. Like, snoring asleep. It’s magic. A break from the fine distinctions tonight, but back tomorrow! A very...

Day 4,360: Trad

Today’s fine distinction is about espresso! Something I almost never drink, lol. It’s a weird one. I don’t mind the taste of coffee. I quite get it, in fact, especially coffee and milk or cream. What a tasty way to start your day, and piping hot, too! But…I don’t...

Day 4,359: I see these witches are afraid of swords

Whew. A day off. Holy crap I needed it today! Today’s fine distinction is…. Bay vs Gulf vs Cove A “bay” is a body of water recessed within land. A “gulf” is a very large bay. Like…hundreds of miles. A “cove” is a very tiny bay with a narrow inlet and sheltered by...

Day 4,358: Doot Doot

Today’s fine distinction is Envy vs. Jealousy. A good one! Envy is wanting something that one does not have, something that someone else has. I envy that person’s car. Jealousy is the desire for others not to have something (or someone) you possess. “I don’t want you...

Day 4,357: Hazard

Day 4,357: Hazard

It’s already past midnight so making it a quick one, but writing was good, work was good, podcasting was good…solid day! And here’s our fine distinction for the evening… Great Britain vs United Kingdom Great Britain is apparently a geographical term for the island....
