X is for Xyster

I obviously have a lot of stress going on in my life right now.  However, I  am going to try to keep up with my blog and my writing.  I especially need to keep up with my writing as it is my source of income.  It's just like if I had a job, I'd still have to go to work.

Honestly, right now, that might be better because my mom couldn't expect me to go up to the hospital and to be able to do things for her because I'd have to be at work.  It's too bad people won't hire me just because I need to be able to sit because of my scoliosis and always having a really sore back.  I even have my transport wheelchair, which I maneuver on my own unless my sister wants to push me - and she usually likes to push me as it gives her something to lean on so she can walk or run and get exercise.

Anyway, X is for Xyster.  Xyster is a strange word, isn't it?  The Y nestles into the x if the X is capital.   If it is written later than the first word in the sentence, it is xyster.  It's not quite as comfy looking as it was a first, but it still has a neat type of fit for the letters.

If that was boring, don't be concerned.  I'm not going to be spending time analyzing the looks of words in my blog posts.

Years ago, my sister and I came across the word "xyster."   We were curious if there was such a word, since our mom would be silly and say things like "bring this to your zister" instead of "bring this to your sister."

We still remember the word, even though some dictionaries don't have the word.  It is a medical device used for scraping bone, or what they call a surgical rasp or a surgical file.  Briana and I maintain that we not xysters, no matter how much our mom would call use zisters.  We say that the words sound alike, so we are not going to be either.
