As is well known by now, my drug of choice for insomnia and distraction is crossword puzzles which I've hated for approximately 38 years, and been obsessed with for approximately two. Even with the irritations, it provides a good distraction and keeps my mind from chasing itself around in circles.
Last night's irritating clues, all from ONE puzzle:
Clue: PLACE
Answer: AIM
Huh? Okay, I *kind* of get it. But I still think they're stretching it.
Clue: INTAKES
Answer: INTAKES
Yeah. No comment.
Clue: MOLD
Answer: MOLD
What?? Oh come *on*. TWO in one puzzle??
Clue: STUBBLE
Answer: STRAW
Nope. Don't really get that one. Can kind of stretch my way around it, but...
This is not me guessing and being wrong. I checked the answers.

Dad lost 8 pounds the last week of radiation. :-( We'd managed to slam enough food to get him to gain three in the first two weeks, but still a major drop this last week and currently he's still not eating. Drinking is a challenge, but he's trying very hard.
