It’s the middle of the week, and we’re now on the downhill side, thankfully. Lori said this morning how the the weekends are too short and I said “what do ya mean, it’s almost the weekend again”. Anyhow it’s Wednesday, hump day, the middle of the week or for a more detailed explanation of the origin of the day,<\/p>\n
Old English\u00c2\u00a0Wodnesd\u00c3\u00a6g<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0“Woden’s day,” a Germanic loan-translation of Latin\u00c2\u00a0dies Mercurii<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0“day of Mercury” (cf.
