2019 - Day 207/158 - Friday...Affable...

I decided that editing and adding a photo to yesterday's journal entry was really not worth the bother, so I didn't. So there! I got to sleep a little bit longer this morning, but it really did not make up for getting to sleep so much later last night. In to the office, the a quick visit to Texas REALTORS®, a visit to the eye doctor (everything is fine), a quick trip to the ABoR north office, and then I got my hairs cut. On the way home, I stopped at the Firebowl close to where I get my hair cut, and brought home dinner. I think that will be a new deal, when I get my hair cut, I will bring home dinner from Firebowl. It will be a pretty good weekend as far as I can tell, and that means several naps along the way.

Affable -- Adjective. 1. being pleasant and at ease in talking to others. 2. characterized by ease and friendliness. Michelle looked forward to sharing her coffee breaks with Joe, one of her more affable coworkers.

Did You Know? Affable is one of several English words that evolved from the Latin verb fari, which means "to speak." The adjective comes from the Latin affabilis, which comes from the fari relative affari ("to speak to"), plus -abilis, meaning "capable of." Some other fari derivatives are infant, fable, and fate. Infant comes from Latin infans, which means "incapable of speech" and combines in- and fans, the present participle of fari. Fable comes from the Latin fabula, a fari offspring that means "conversation." Fate comes from the Latin word fatum, meaning "what has been spoken" and deriving from fatus, the past participle of fari. Very fab!
