Grumps can suck it, it's Friday!

I finally figured it out and blocked her number after she showed at my door, knocking, peppering me with calls and texts saying we have to talk.

Nope.

I did the same thing with my ex. She had a habit of saying some incendiary stuff and then apologizing later. When we filed for divorce, I was already in AZ and she was in South Carolina. Our divorce was in Texas, where we lived when filing. She called and screamed at me, saying she was pulling the divorce papers and to get my own attorney. I paid for her attorney because it was uncontested. I told her to ask her attorney first, and if he agreed, I would file in Arizona. She called back the next day and apologized. AZ wouldn't have granted spousal support. I knew that, she didn't. I eventually blocked her to take away her ability to text a bunch of f-you's and then apologize. I should have done it sooner.

I have 4500 words completed of my 5000-word (plus or minus 500 words) essay due Sunday. I still have one source to analyze and a conclusion to write, but that will put me over the 5000 threshold. I will edit it tomorrow before writing the concluding paragraphs to ensure the scope is unchanged. In my previous master's program, I figured I could write 5000 words on weekends. That was a poor decision. I wrote for 16 hours on Saturday and another 16 hours on Sunday. This time, I started the paper three weeks before it was due. I hope to submit the paper on Sunday morning.

Somehow, along my path of learning graduate-level history, I have become an expert on certain Native American tribes and regions. I teach Hualapai kids in a K-8 school; I first learned their history.

I always start with raise or arise, and today that proved to be lucky.

I managed to string together two cordial and productive conversations with my soon-to-be-ex wife. Progress.

My wife and I used raise as a starter word for quite a while.
So it goes.
I did get a win on the first word with irate last summer.
We enjoy playing against one another for a brief moment of bragging rights.

Wordlebot is dumb. After guess four I'm not doing well, I have four letters in place but can see four possibilities so I use a word with three of the four to flush out the answer. Wordlebot says that was a bad guess but hey it was lucky there's only one possibility left.

I'm peeved with the whole thing, though. I got cocky the other day and wound up on the last guess with two possible words and selected the wrong one to break a 530+ day streak.
