Bear with me. I love D2’s “
Monday’s Musings” posts. Love. Love. Love them. And I believe imitation is the purest form of flattery. But I wanted a day of the week that started with the letter “L” so I could have a “list day” because I love lists. Then I wondered how did the days get their names. That’s just how my brain works. So I turned to my trusty how and why book; the internet where all things written are true and correct. Right? Well here is what I learned:
Sunday is named for the Sun
Monday is named for the Moon
Tuesday is named for Tiu, Tyr, or Tiwa, who was a Germanic god
Wednesday is named for Woden, Odin, or Wotan which are the names of a Nordic/Germanic god
Thursday is named for Thor, Donar, or Thunor, also a Nordic/Germanic god
Friday is named for Frigg or Freia who was a Nordic goddess
Saturday is named for Saturn, who was a Roman god
All very interesting but this is my blog. So I’m changing things up. I’m done with Friday it’s overrated; I’m calling that day
Lastday Lasday. After all Friday is the “last day” of the work week so why not. Stay tuned……
