Thirteen Things to do when you're home sick...

  1. Lay in bed until you can't possibly lay in bed any longer.
  2. Drag yourself into the hottest shower your skin can handle and stay in there until your fingers are all wrinkled up.
  3. Call momma... She always understands and sends you long-distance lovin'.
  4. "Drink lots of fluids!" (I have that on good advice...)
  5. Cocoon your entire body in layers upon layers of cushy blankets so it feels like you never left you bed, and you're hands and feet are rendered useless.
  6. Flop on the couch and attempt to finish that book that you've been meaning to finish for months...
  7. Pop in a sappy movie to drown your aches and nausea in Hollywood glamour.
  8. Fall asleep on the couch until your face picks up the subtle lines and patterns of the corduroy cover.
  9. Run to the bathroom as often as you can.
  10. Sigh and moan gratuitously.
  11. Have long conversations with your cats who currently seem genuinely sympathetic.
  12. Wonder why the gods have spurned you and left you to face this misery.
  13. And finally, since misery loves company, BLOG about it!

Leave me a link and I'll link ya!

How did I not know your mom was Lazy Daisy? What a lucky gal!

I hope you feel better soon!

Isn't it great to do all of those things? I do it when I'm not sick. I think that's why I love the fall...that's when it's the best :p

My 13 are up, too!

I hope you get over your homesickness soon. You described it so well. I can remember times when I've felt that way. As for "that book", it took me a while, too. Wasn't my favorite of the trilogy, but was an interesting conclusion to it.

My TT are up! I no longer use Blogger, so they're actually here:

Awww, I hope you feel better soon. I always want my mommy when I don't feel good, too, and I am 38 years old.

My 13 are up.

Hope you're feeling better now. Always need momma when your sick...nobody else will ever come close (don't tell my wife I said that).

If you have the energy mt thirteen are up for your viewing pleasure.
