Yesterday I felt unable to speak. Am I the only one who has days where speaking English seems more like trying at some second language, all halfed and broken down and words are impossible to find?
I was like that ALL DAY yesterday.
Today is starting to shape up to be the opposite:
I feel remarkably articulate this morning, and I want to put it to use, so I'm going to try to blow this popsicle stand.
Or maybe I'll just do more homework.
