When life is chaotic, it’s good to know a cup of tea is as close as the kettle, even if my bed is hours away.
Yippieee! Today my thesaurus has given me a word to play with that’s both a noun and a verb! That means I can jumble my jumble, or confuse my gallimaufry (which makes sense, because I have no idea what a gallimaufry is). I can muddle my mishmash, scramble my potpourri… I can even tangle my rat’s nest! Wait… my pillow does that every night. That’s what my comb is for.
But you know what? I’m too tired to mix up my miscellany tonight. My house is a hodgepodge, a farrago (another one I have to look up), a mess. It’s disarranged. Yeah, let’s go with that one. And my mind is all higgledy-piggledy, so I think I’ll just tumble off to bed and start all over again tomorrow.
Goodnight, all!

Jumble is also a game that comes in the newspaper, usually on the comics page. You have to unscramble five words, then take the letters that are circled where you write your answer and unscramble them to answer a silly question. They have a website now, http://www.jumble.com/

I used to play that when I got the paper. Nice to know there’s a site for it now. Thanks, John. 😀

“higgledy-piggledy” is one of the most under-rated phrases I know of.
