Things to Do When You’re Home Sick for 4 1/2 Days
- Sleep.
- Wake up.
- Decide to go back to sleep.
- Finally wake up because you’ve already slept for thirteen hours and, really, you can’t sleep any more.
- Lie in bed for two more hours watching crap TV because you just
can’t quite make it from the bed to the closet to get your robe and
slippers. - Watch Saved By The Bell and wonder if you’re hallucinating or is Screech really, really talented?
- Decide you’re hallucinating.
- Haul your ass out of bed and wonder where other slipper is.
- Find other slipper actually IN BED.
- Find robe in bathroom IN TUB.
- Ponder whether mixing TheraFlu and Sudafed Severe Cold Formula and Advil is actually a good idea.
- Make tea. For the FOUR THOUSANDTH TIME.
- Avoid computer as the screen makes your eyeballs feel like their coated in thumbtacks.
- Drink tea and wonder why it has no taste at all and yet still makes you kind of nauseous.
- Turn on TV.
- Quickly turn the brightness down to, like, zero, because even the TV light hurts your eyes.
- Cough up a lung.
- Cough up another lung.
- Think to self, "Hm. Wonder how I can breathe with no lungs? Interesting."
- Fall asleep on sofa.
- Sitting up.
- With tea still in hand.
- Wake up two hours later with a big tea stain on sofa.
- Think about cleaning it up but decide instead to go lie down on bed.
- Fall asleep on bed still wearing robe and slippers.
- Have dream about dwarves wearing roller skates with Q-tips sticking out of their ears.
- Wake up an hour later when lungs return to body in full force and with an agenda of making you miserable for at least the next 48 hours.
- Check fever. Again. Some more.
- Wonder if a consistent fever of 102 is not only dangerous, but rather…alien? Perhaps not human after all? Perhaps earth’s atmosphere not friendly to true alien core? Consider reporting self to the Men In Black just as soon as head stops throbbing.
- Return to kitchen to make yet more liquid refreshment, this time in the form of some sort of broth.
- Look at pot of broth and think to self, "WHEN CAN I HAVE SOLID FOOD AGAIN?"
- Try to think back to when you last took a shower.
- Shudder as you realize it was at least two days ago and thank your lucky stars that you can’t really smell anything with your stuffy nose.
- Drink broth and imagine it is large fried chicken leg.
- Lie down on sofa again.
- Realize that actively hating Oprah Winfrey actually makes you feel better.
- Try to get up from sofa but get stuck to old tea stain.
- Get up anyway and rip the sofa cover off the sofa and retreat to bedroom and fall asleep on top of covers while still wearing robe, slippers, and tea-stained sofa cover.
- Wake up about seven hours later, at midnight, and wonder why the Nazi bunker you’re being held captive in has little Japanese lantern in it as well as a TV playing Brady Bunch reruns.
- Lie awake in bed watching any late night TV that will possibly be boring enough to put you to sleep.
- Finally fall asleep, three hours later, after sucking down the majority of every cold medicine in your bathroom in order to knock out your rather rambunctious lungs.
- Wake up four hours later, and do it all over again.
