I rang in the new year by getting sick. I have this knack (we'll call it a super power) for getting sick on fun holidays...it goes all the way back to one of my very first Easters; having to just look at the basket full of candy because I felt too sick to eat any of it. Great, right?
Anyway, I did get to go out and enjoy myself for New Year's Eve, but I promptly returned home directly after midnight (like some sort of Cinderella or something) and I immediately became sneezy, feverish, and miserable.
While sitting around for a few days not getting any real work done, I've compiled a list of things that have helped me feel better when I can't do anything else:
+ movies. lots and lots of movies. preferably with the common theme of paul rudd, or my boyfriend joeseph gordon-levitt.
+ cupcakes. when you don't feel sick to your stomach, why not eat cupcakes? also, I've decided that calories don't count when you're sick.
+ chicken noodle soup. and not the kind that you have to make yourself. bundle up and go to panera (or even to target!) and buy yourself some really good soup. or get your very nice friend/boyfriend/etc. to bring you some
+ a million naps. definitely a million. no more, no less.
+ comfy sweats. mine are emblazoned with the logo of the college i work at. they also are size giant, which means they are EXTRA comfy but also EXTRA unacceptable to wear out of the house. this is OK; i promise they'll help you feel better than skin tight adorable yoga pants.
+ a pet. and if you're like me and don't have one, googling photos of baby animals is 2nd best.
What helps you when you're feeling sick?
I am loving that whale tissue box! I hope you feel better soon! I usually over does on emergen-C and take plenty of mucinex and dayquil.
ReplyDeleteI also have noticed I'm sickly around the holiday season... I think it's stress? I have no real idea, but I HATE IT!!! I hope you feel lots better, very soon!
ReplyDeleteFor me: sleeping in, eating peach ice cream, cuddling with my honey, writing and doing something creative (I am so inspired when I am sick...) and random little hobbies and game playing!
Ahhh I have been sick for WEEKS now. It's the worst! I'm pretty much doing all of the things mentioned above, especially wearing the comfy sweats. Mine are mustard yellow and equally as unacceptable to wear out in public. I do wear them to take the dog out though and I'm sure even the dog gets embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteahhhh worst!
ReplyDeletehope you're feeling better soon!
