Achoo Grateful!

I seriously think I lose days somehow. One day it is the first and the next day the ninth. To think when I was younger I wanted things to hurry up some. Now, I think like others, I want it to slow down.

Anyway, Tamirisc and I continue to be sick. It seems we have had what so many others have had. I have been sick worse than the hubby. My Grandma would have called this the creepin' crud.

So, by now, I am sure you are thinking, "How can she be thankful?"

Well, truth is I am glad that I received a flu and pneumonia shot early on so I have not come down with that too. I am grateful to the makers of Kleenex and over the counter medicine companies. Really, I am!

I am glad that my hubby did not have it worse than me because I have been in no condition to take care of him and me too. It was also nice to have him home to pamper a little especially when I felt like my brains were coming out of my head.

How could you not be grateful for all of that?

Let me know what you are thankful for this week.

Day 7...It's All Greek To Me`

This semester I only took one college class. Frankly because that is all I could afford...but I digress.  The class I am taking is Mythology.

I am a history major and as history is often consumed with mythology as well it seemed a logical course for me. Ha Ha...mythology and logic!

This afternoon I was caught up in my homework. As most of the day I felt like crappola, what else was there to do? This professor gives us just about daily quizzes to see if we are actually reading the book. Who knew that is what you are supposed to do with them? Seriously, you would be amazed at how many books I have bought and then the book is not used in the classroom.

Anyway, right now we are getting ready to discuss Greek Mythology and in particular, Homer's Iliad.

Of course to lead up to the reading of the story, I have about twenty pages of history behind the writing of it. See what I mean?

It is not like I haven't heard the story outlined in the Iliad but as usual I have forgotten the details over the years.  I suppose it is a good thing the story was first handed down verbally and then orally! 

Well, off to read some more. Ah, maybe not, I feel a coughing fit coming on.

Speaking of Greeks, I am including this video for your listening pleasure. Besides the fact that Yanni is a fantastic musician, he is simply eye candy as well. You can't get more Greek than him! (To the male reader of my blog, please pardon me, otherwise ladies, carry on. Ha!)

Until tomorrow, peace...Naila Moon
