Day 30: Timing

Today I am grateful for timing.  Sometimes timing seems "off" until I think through things and realize the timing is perfect.  Of course, sometimes the timing isn't great but today I'm grateful for the times that the timing is good.
Here's what I mean.  I have a cold.  I'm kind of wimpy and miserable and I took a sick day because I was no good to my job today with the slight fever I'm running, the headache, and the weird aches.  But the timing of this cold is perfect this time!  No the fever hasn't gotten to my brain.  It's perfect because I got it this week and not next.  Next week I'm going to visit a bestie in Seattle.  To have this cold next week in Seattle would have sucked...big time.  But I have it this week, perfect timing as far as I'm concerned.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
