Well since I am home and I have been leisurely living through the day I thought these two awards are the perfect representation of my day.

The wonderful theforgottenwife nominated me for the Day-Dreamer-Award. this beautiful award encourages us all to take some time out and let our minds wander in and out of that magical dreamworld we all carry in us.

And the rule of this award are quite simple and I love doing them:

1. Upon receipt of this award, you are to take a mental vacation for 5 minutes.  (Gaze off into space, look out of the window, have yourself a wonderful daydream….)
2. When you have returned from you daydream, you are required to take another one tomorrow.
3. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
4. Award this to 3 other people. You can only pass this award on to three (3) people.

I think I make have done the first three more than required today and will promise to keep it up, no matter what work, bosses or tie-people say.

And for rule number four  I have to really think hard as their are so many wonderful blogs I love to follow, but here you are:

As I love these girls I just can’t help myself : the wonderful comic duo in skirts, heels and stained sweatpants LilandJil

The lovely cat-loving and coffeed-up Kate as I love reading all the things she gets up to and thinks about

This beautiful blog inspires me to think in all shade, shapes and forms: Anarty

Another wonderful award was given to me  a while back but I never found the right moment to post it. And because today I think I may be turning into a potato judging by the time I have spent horizontal staring at the TV I am thanking the wonderful Katie for the lovely Couch Award. And the lovely thing about this award … NO RULES, so I’ll go back to my vegetative (or vegetable) state, count my eyes and take a nap. But because I think his brain cells need a rest i am passing this on to the weird and wacky NovoZen

sneezing saturday

cold, headache, miscellaneous, random, sick, sneeze, thoughts, vitamin c intake

I woke up with a headache this morning, and no it wasn’t the aftermaths of any red, white or rose, but a little gift the wet spells and cold weather has left behind for me: the dreaded summer cold. As I snuggled down back into the warmth of my duvet and decided to stay in my bad for a bit longer I longed for a hot cup of tea and a hug.

I don’t get sick very often and I don’t think I am really sick today either, just a little under the weather, feeling a little weak, headachy and my nose and throat are having a really off day. So as I sneeze myself out of bed and blew my nose down the stairs I decided to cancel all my plans and take a day to recuperate.

While watching the billows of hot air and water rise from my cup of steaming hot tea I let my mind wander back to when I was small and my mum would make me hot water, lemon and honey to ward off any colds. She would make sure that I had lozenges, books to read, was kept warm and had tissues and hankies galore. It felt good to be cared for, looked after and it made being sick not so bad.

Sadly when you are a singleton living on your own and you are not feeling great you have to try and get well all by yourself. Luckily I don’t have anything a few days rest and lots of hots drinks can’t cure. So as the pile of snotty tissues gets bigger and the pain in my throat keeps throbbing I will stay warm, enjoy lots of hot beverages and see if I can find a lemon hidden away to help with my vitamin C intake.

So with a final sneeze and big ahh choo I go back to bed for a nap and maybe my snores will drown out the neighbours techno beat.
