the crud

So I've stayed home from my day job for two days now, nursing myself back to health from a bout with The Crud - sinus stuff that aggravates a sore throat. Sleeping, drinking hot water with lemon and cayenne, and taking some over-the-counter stuff too I think is covering all the bases. I do feel better, although not quite where I want to be.

All in due time.

I watched some of the solar ecplise last night before I crashed again. I wondered what went through the minds and hearts of early man when they saw this kind of thing rocking their perceived world. Punishment from the gods, the world falling apart, or just something cool going on up in the heavens?

Of course we'll never know, but I'd like to think they took it all in stride, like dealing with sabertoothes.

Just like I'll be feeling better here in a day or two.
