乇, a rooted plant you can trust

乇は表外漢字です。It's supposed to be a plant taking root.  It means entrust, but we don't care.

託, entrust:     Words you can trust will take root in you?

宅, husband:   Someone the wife can trust, that lives under her roof.  (It may also help in remembering this to think of husbandry, as in, caring for things.)

詫, apologize:That old trope that the husband always has to apologize.

いたい！Thorns!

「朿」は表外漢字です。それは「thorn」を意味します。I see it as a plant 木 with hooks on it:  thorns.So we have:

策, policy/plan:  Write out with your bamboo (stylus) your plans to clear the thorns.  Or maybe:
                           Write out your plans to catch the golden fleece on a thorn bush.
刺, pierce/thorn:  A thorn is like a knife on a thorn bush, piercing you.

Today I'm giving ゆう grief :)

憂, (ゆう) grief:                 The head 頁 and heart 心 are smashed together by some
                                            trauma, causing you to walk slowly as you process your
                                            grief.
優, (ゆう) superior/actor:  It's initially apparently someone doing a slow ritual dance.
                                           But I'll say it as:  the superior person is one who processes
                                           his grief.

雑漢字1:揮動悔如鉢

These are 漢字 made of very common パーツ, so they either don't fit into groupings like I've made earlier, or the groupings would be huge.  So I'll just put them in arbitrary groups.

動, rut:            A rut this big has the power to capture any vehicle!

悔, regret:      Everyone feels regret for what has passed.

如, likeness:  What the woman sees when she looks in a (square) mirror.

鉢, bowl:        The original use for metal.  Maybe.
香, perfume:  The bottom was originally 甘 sweet, but got simplified.  The top is our familiar rice stalk.  So:  sweet fragrance of rice stalk released by baking in the sun.
添, add on:    This isn't the rice stalk.  First, we have a non-general-use character 忝, a man 天 with bowed head (the top bar tends to lean left a little) who's feeling 心 ashamed.  Then water.  I'll say:  the man feeling ashamed often adds on tears.

Graded readers

今、私は少し話したいです。先週日本語のgraded readersをもらいました。１組の本もうありました；３組のも来ました。
本当に高いです：セットあたり＄２８ぐらいです。でも、私はそれを読むことができます、それからすこし楽しいです。色々な話がありあす。多分面白い；時々じゃない。
もうですね。I am temporarily giving up (mostly) on talking, because I'm always finding that I don't know how to say things even if I think I have the words.  If in Japanese you don't take medicine but drink it; 去る, despite being defined in jisho.org as "leave," isn't what you'd use for leaving a room (a kind commenter pointed this out when I was trying to write those Dad at the Zoo stories), I'm just going to have to have a lot more 日本語 coming in before I can trust my mind to generate the right turns of phrase.  I expect it's the same between languages generally:  knowing which prepositions to use; whether to take, make, go, or do something (make time/go wrong/etc).

Yet another 頁

Kanji Portraits does have a page on, well, pages 頁 (the 部首 for head, but as a standalone it means page), but for whatever reason only includes 頁順顔頭願.  There are たくさん漢字 with this 部首.  Maybe one day I'll do the rest.

領, territory/chief:     令 is order/rule and 頁, page, is the radical for head.  The head of the rule of a territory is its chief.
頃, time.                     After sufficient time, a man will slump over 匕, especially his head (with sleep).
傾, lean/slant:             Person here to emphasize it's the person with the slump, not the time, that we're focusing on.
頒, divide/distribute:  分 is divide; a divided mind is divided indeed.  So maybe it does distributed processing, like a computer with lots of CPU's?
顕, visible/exposure.  We've seen this before.  Though the etymology's wrong, the thing on the lower left can be something like stand or line up.  When people stand in line in the sun, their heads should still be visible.
頻, recur/frequent:      The two components are 歩 and 頁, so despite its actual evolution (which involves rippling water), I'll say:  walk and you'll frequently and recurringly bob your head.

More 戊

More now of that long-armed halberd 戊. 

威, authority/threaten:  The woman that has or is a battleaxe (halberd; or maybe she's carrying it over her had as that horizontal line) has some mighty threatening authority. (Don't blame me for this metaphor; Henshall says that was a term of address from a bride to her mother-in-law.  Which no doubt made home life sweet and serene. 😲)
滅, destroy:                   The armies of Armageddon hacked with their halberds and battleaxes, and all was destroyed in fire and water.
茂, overgrown:             The grass/plants that thrust like a halberd wherever they like.
歳, years old:               Your age is roughly the time since your footprints 止 were taken and you were presented at the altar 示...until the current cutoff point, cut off (by the halberd?) right now.  OK, it's quite a stretch.  Henshall says it relates to jamming 歩 into that halberd somehow, but lordy.
