under the weather

Have you ever wondered about the phrase "under the weather?" Urban Dictionary has a rather odd explanation about sick sailors being listed in a ship's log in the weather column. That sounds a little far-fetched to me. I'm sure that sometimes, when you feel under the weather, it's just something to do with the weather..

Whether it's the weather or whatever, I feel sluggish and achy today so I'm staying at home, in the warm, being kind to myself. I'll be right as rain tomorrow (see? It's all weather-related).

The ice is from water which collected in some plastic tubs D washed out and left in the courtyard..
