Partner is sending me medicine and kleenex, and im gonna take an HR screening call for a job I applied to, but beyond that I have nothing going on today.

Watching YouTube slop rn, and gonna watch FMA: Brotherhood when my partner is off work. Might play some Dragons Crown too. The thing that’s gonna suck the most that I have to do today is take the pups out when they need to go - pretty dizzy and lightheaded.

What do you like to do when you’re sick and have the day to yourself?

BRB gonna go try and eat a kiwi

    Hydrate and rest are my main priorities when sick. Depending on the sickness, a hot shower does wonders too.

    If I can get out of bed long enough, I will make homemade tomato soup with a shit tonne of garlic. It’s basically a nuclear bomb of vitamin c and whatever that compound is in garlic that is good for your immune system or whatever.

    If I’m too sick to cook, I will take a can of tomato soup and mix in some 2 minute noodles for a lazy tomato-noodle soup, just for comfort.

    The rest of the time I love to sleep when I’m sick. It’s one of the only times in life you can just rest with no guilt, enjoy it. Watch a bit of tv in between. I honestly treat being sick like a staycation 😆

    It’s a mix of tea, warm milk with honey, chicken soup, and endless binge-watching-of-whatever-is-available or audiobooks for me, mostly. Once I’m feeling slightly better, I usually try gaming to figure out how dizzy I still am, and then take it from there.

    Either way, get well soon and say hi to the pups, love!

    Hot soup or rice porridge with ginger and garlic are great

    Lot of good suggestions in here but I’m feeling too weak to think of anything else

    I started feeling aches and chills a couple of hours ago so I must have come down with something too, solidarity comrade

    Lay in bed, watch The Price is Right, and play a handheld gaming system. That hasn’t changed in well over 30 years. Well, I would watch if my bunny ears could bring in CBS back when I was a little girl.

    If I am not too sick, then play computer games or chill on CyTube if I’m awake early enough. Of course when I do get sick, I barely have the energy to do much else than sleep.

    Sleepy time tea, and a couple high test edibles.

    Tea helps my throat/chest and the edibles tone the sick feeling down a few notches. I cannot take advil and acetaminophen does nothing to help with aches and pains when sick. A fat edible does, however.
