expand my vocabulary

I had to shelve this for a couple of weeks, off and on, while I moved, but I think the dust has begun to settle, and I’m back at this.

Today’s WOTDs are:
aplenstock: a strong, iron-pointed staff used by mountain climbers
bombilla: lightbulb
sibzamini: potato

One thought has begun to preoccupy me, that my daily routines have begun to take up WAY too much time. I may have to divide the morning routine into parts and do some in the am, some at lunchtime, some after work (when I find a job), some before bed, etc. I’m sure I can make the best of this.
