Edmund and I have been very sick this week.
Edmund more than me.
Feeling better now, but dry. Took some Sudafed-type-derrivative earlier, and some ibuprophren.
I can’t spell and I am too lazy to look things up.
No matter.
BTW, this is awesome, the word of the day today is:
cock-a-hoop \kah-kuh-HOOP\ adjective
*1 : triumphantly boastful : exulting
2 : awry
Example sentence:
Team members, still cock-a-hoop over last week’s victory, need to regain their focus and win one more game for the championship.
Did you know?
The adjective “cock-a-hoop” comes from a curious 16th- and 17th-century expression, “to set cock a hoop,” which meant “to be festive” or “to drink or celebrate without restraint.” Etymologists, however, are not entirely certain about the origin of that old expression. Although no one knows if it originally had any connection with the “rooster” sense of “cock,” many people thought it did — and this perceived association influenced the current meaning of “cock-a-hoop.” The cock is known for its triumphant crow, and “cock-a-hoop” is now used to refer to something triumphantly boastful.
