Have you ever wondered where the term “under the weather” actually came from ?
I did, so I looked it up.
Turns out that it’s a old term for sailors going below deck when a stormy sea is making them…
sick.
Well, I certainly haven’t been on a ship in a million years, but feeling “under the weather” is what I am, all the same.
If I could go below deck to feel better, I would, but alas…
I’ll have to make due with sitting in my soft recliner with my fluffy blanket and my chicken soup–thanks, Daney boy–along with all my other potions and hippie oils.
I have a lovely strong immune system that will surely beat this silliness soon enough. In the meantime, I’m chanting…
“Healthy, happy, strong and kind…
healthy body, healthy mind.”
Works every time.
