I find I will substitute a word that has the same starting letter or even syllable. The visual suggestion , window for weather, has also been an issue. MY wife has gotten very good at understanding my wix ups.

I also will just pause to try to get a word to go from my brain to my lips. It is like my brain knows the word but my lips can't form the sounds. That is my most common problem. Add to that my caution to not blurt out the wrong word when I realize my brain is struggling.

Reading roadside advertisement signs can be hilarious. Lots of interesting combinations come up.

Today has been a bad head ache day all day. I haven't had a day this bad in quite some time.

Hope everybody is having a better day.
