Daily Diversion #81: The Crud Strikes Again

“Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey.”-Marcel Proust

I’ve been down since Thursday with what my husband calls The Crud, a hazy combination of the ‘flu, a bad cold, and general malaise. The bottom of my favourite tea canister is visible, the bag of cherry lozenges empty; work is piled high by the bed, and I am cranky. Sleep and reading have been my twin graces. I am almost ready to crawl back into the murmur and hum of the wider world. Almost. Right after I finish one more chapter each of four books and drain the amber liquid from my tea-cup.

Super Sweet Blogging Award

When I opened my inbox the other day, this lovely award was sitting there. Just waiting to be opened. Ourmulticolouredlife nominated me for the Super Sweet Blogging Award. I’ve never heard of this one, so it is extra special! I also get to answer questions about sweets, which doubles the fun.

Here’s Where I Spell Out The Rules:

  1. Thank the blogger(s) who gave you the award and link back to their blog.
  2. Nominate other blogs for this award and let them know.
  3. Post the award on your blog.
  4. Answer the 5 questions.

The 5 Questions:

  1. Cookies or cake? Both, depending on my mood and who does the baking.
  2. Chocolate or vanilla? I like dark chocolate and high quality vanilla.
  3. Favourite sweet treat? Pie.
  4. When do you crave sweet things the most? The mood for sweets strikes when the mood for sweets strikes!
  5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be? I have been called D-alicia-ous (delicious), which is a play on my name. Many have tried to get somewhere with that line. They’ve all failed.

Nominee:

The Flamboyante, because she has the sweetest blog I’ve seen.
