On sick days I make myself at home on the couch with my laptop, cozy pj's, some girly movies and a blanket. Before I get too comfortable I light the candles that are lined up on my window sills, and start a pot of tea (Throat Coat to start- my throat is on fire! Then peppermint tea for the rest of the morning).
Next to the couch I set up camp on the laptop tray: my teacup, a box of Puffs (the kind with lotion and vicks, what luxurious facial tissue!), a good mystery novel and cold medicine.This is one of the few times when cold cereal is an appealing breakfast choice so I take advantage of the opportunity and pour myself a bowl(today it was yogurt berry crunch). I also make sure that I do my bible reading so I don't feel guilty reading my mystery novel later. Then I open my laptop and add shoes to my ebay watch list that I can periodically check on throughout the day, and catch up on Fantasies For Sale (thanks to my newfound appreciation for dark stormy days I have realized that today is perfectly stormy, but much too bright for my taste. My candles have more than their fare share of competition)
when I feel like it I'll take a nap or two...does it get any more lovely?
No..... :)
ReplyDeleteI most certainly love sick days too. But, I think that they were much better while still in school, where it didn't matter too much if you missed a few days.
ReplyDeleteI have been able to relax and be sick for the past week, and it has been such a luxury. I think I learned to relax when I had my surgery this summer. Before that, I don't think I knew the meaning of the word "relax."
ReplyDeleteI have to add that I thoroughly enjoy your writing style. It is a pleasure to read your thoughts. Thanks for sharing them with me!
Love you, Mom
