schmo (shmo) - A hapless sucker, an ordinary jerk.
Slightly pejorative, but it could be worse (e.g., could be putz or schmuck).
The time change 😵💫😫😵💫😫😵💫😫😵💫

ibbledick (IB-bl-dick) - Literally, "nauseated,"
"barfy." Vaguely unwell, out of sorts. N.B.: There is no Yiddish phrase for feeling "in sorts" Then again, there is no English phrase for it either, so never mind.

Zaftig is one of those semi-elusive words that refuses to be translated easily into the English language. Yiddish in origin, it is a way to call a woman plump, curvy, even luscious, but without a negative sting or rude connotation.

Finished Megan Miranda‘s latest book, and it ties with All the Missing Girls as one of my favorites of hers. It got pretty twisty at the end, and I love when she leaves parts of an ending open to reader interpretation.
Today is the third Sunday of Advent, when we light the pink candle for Joy. This year it feels a little different.
