Have you had the flu this year? The Vermont Department of Health says that flu is happening fast all across Vermont right now. (Burlington Free Presss, 1/22/11) If you have the flu, you may feel "under the weather."
If you were a new sailor, you might get seasick. I used to live in Maine, where new riders on lobster boats, sometimes got seasick.
If they got sick, people told them to go beneath the decks -- or "under the weather." If sea-sick people went under the decks, they did not feel the wind or waves so much. (I Didn't Know That; K. Evins).
I hope you are not "under the weather." But if you are -- I hope you get well soon. If you let me know, I will send you a get-well card!
When was the last time you felt sick? What or Who helped you when you were sick, or "under the weather"?
