I am crushed. Woke up after midnight and grabbed my phone and got sucked down the rabbit-hole of only having two letters, one at each end, and too many possibilities down the middle. And though I thought of a word that turned out to be the answer, I thought it was a previous answer. So I lost for the third damn time.

I was able to get back to sleep. So it's not a clinical depression. But that and digging out of 3' of snow ain't got me in the best of all possible moods.
