Let’s see. I have had a splitting headache for two days so far. Alpha left early in the morning to get a few hours of work in at her office before coming home to relieve me from caring for Gamma, who is still sick. I was hoping to sleep in, but one of the cats had digestive problems and that got me up. At least Gamma was able to get some extra sleep – she’s usually up at the crack of dawn. She’s feeling a lot better now, by the way, fever is down.
Now I am at the office, happily, hoping a colleague will be able to get my CD writer working.
Staying home with Gamma was okay, though, although she made me play Barbie with her, and she made me tell her several stories. She wanted circus stories, so she got one about the time I found the baby circus elephant when I was her age, and it was dirty so I took a bath with it and it made a big mess of the bathroom squirting water all over with its trunk. And then there was the time my parents engaged the circus monkeys to babysit, and they had a banana fight in the house and made a big mess, and I had to go around with our dachshund, which liked to eat bananas, and clean everything up before my parents came home.
And I also had to read her Bible stories. Many Bible stories. What is manna, anyway?
Supposedly manna is bread from heaven. The way we learnt it, sweet bread from heaven that came in with the morning dew and was only good for one day. *shrug* Glad to hear that gamma is doing better.
Yes, but *what* is it really? Did it physically exist, for real? Does it exist now? Was it some plant? Were they picking some kind of mushroom, (which would explain certain visions)? Or what?
Joeri’s research kung fu is very powerful!
Joeri wins another Miggie for this amazing feat of research prowess.
weird. i always pictured manna as having the same consistency as large curd cottage cheese.
i always pictured it as pringles or that light candy stuff. and here we find out it may actually be a mushroom, which would explain the “burning bush” among other things. or coccid insect excretions! yum.
