I Learned a New Word Today

favorite

To start the day off, I went for a swim

Then dug up a tuber with vigor and vim.

I scored it as 10. It was proper and prim.

A relative came. One clue: it's a him.

A movie with guns, hats and horses entwined.

Another kin came, of the feminine kind.

I looked at my watch: I was running behind

I loathe and despise that! Dislike filled my mind!

But with a quick snack- a reversal of mood.

I called up a friend. I romanced her and wooed.

I filled up a hall with drinks, tables and food...

Took lime from a hide??? What's this word I have clued?

Can you guess the (somewhat obscure) English word I learned today?

But I'm struggling for an answer because:

I'm looking for just one word, and the longest word I can make out of the letters svpchkidaaat is a 10 letter one - "kadaitchas", tribal men with the mission of avenging the death of a tribesman. Well you did say it was obscure.

Sentence 1:

Exercise/fitness.

Sentence 2:

Food

Sentence 3:

Satisfied/happy mindset

Sentence 4:

Being social

Sentence 5:

Spending time with family/being social

Sentence 6:

Being social again

Sentence 7 and 8:

Regret/sad

Sentence 9:

I'm back/back from being sad/refreshment/Happy again

Sentence 10:

Something like finding a mate

Sentence 11:

Together:

You are probably talking about life because all the above mentioned things are a part of a person's life... so at the end of the day you might be thinking that this is life

So, the word is:

LIFE

Hi, and welcome to puzzling! There's nothing wrong with your reasoning, so that's good. We usually put "spoiler tags" in answers so that they are hidden until you hover over them. You do this by adding "!> " at the beginning of a line. This riddle has a "Pattern" tag, meaning that there is a sequence to be solved. That's one of the keys here. Also, if a puzzle is correctly constructed the answer should be unambiguous. The answer you give, although it fits, is rather general. But good work. Keep puzzling!

The answer is revealed when someone guesses it. The correct answer is marked with a green check mark by the poster. Sometimes this takes days. Ah. And I got the spoiler tag backwards. It is ">! ". I edited your answer to spoiler tag the last line.
