"Choose Diligence" lost out as the title as well, because though I've long been known for diligence---that sounds negative in this sense. So...
....I chose "idiomatic language" not only because it's Wordsmith Wednesday but because I'm a "hard nut to crack" and today I'm going to the "nutcracker" doc. Think metaphorical insanity.
With my brain a metaphor for a nut and because I don't know what's going on in there half the time, I decided to be diligent and obey my internist and keep my appointment with Dr. A, who is a recognized "nutcracker!" He doesn't have a clue as to how hard it is to gain entry into my circular thinking noggin.
Maybe I should take some nutcracker tea to serve him as well as I'm a hard, tough nut to crack and he's gonna need extra help to be up to the "Dotsy" challenge!
