I always lay in bed and play Minecraft when I’m sick. I didn’t grow up with Minecraft, and I really don’t understand the intricacies of it, but a few years ago I had pneumonia and Minecraft was the only game I could figure out through the brain fog. To this day I always pick it back up and start a new game whenever I’m under the weather. It’s just so peaceful and charming. It cheers me up right away.
Stay in bed for some cat therapy. Nothing like having a warm and purring kitty on each side of you to chase the symptoms away.
Be left 100% alone
Watch Star Trek in bed. Or more realistically listen to Star Trek as my eyes will be closed.
Such a nice way to pass the time. :)
Watch ElectroBOOM videos. He provides good comedy with scientific knowledge.
Thanks for this! I have a new time filler …
I already watched all of them
Take the day off work. Knowing that I can just be under the bed covers and I don’t have to even hear about a work issue.
Sleep. The second I start feeling under the weather I adjust to get as much sleep as possible immediately. It absolutely reduces the time needed to recover.
Reinstall my Arch Linux (EndeavourOS actually) system.
Yes, I also try to stick to my daily routines as much as possible.
lol
Just play low-stakes casual games. I swear I associate getting sick with playing Bejeweled 3 in bed now.
When I was younger I’d lie in bed and watch winter sports like ski jumping, biathlon, bobsled, that kind of thing. It was the only thing on t.v. and I never really paid attention. Just people doing stuff in the snow, nice mountain scenery, some commentator talking in the background. It might not sound like much, but it felt soothing for some reason.
Nowadays fold out the guest bed in the attic, get cozy, and sleep whenever I can. If that’s not possible I play a game to keep myself distracted from how sick I’m feeling.Lipton chicken and noodles, crackers, Gatorade and The Price Is Right on Pluto
Feel sorry for myself?
Idk thankfully I don’t get sick very often, and I attribute that to masking, handwashing, and taking every vaccine the world will provide me with. Most of my sick days are something like back pain.
lay in bed, and do things that can be done from bed, i.e. reading or playing on my phone
Fast. Clears up all my symptoms like sniffling and nose running, and then I’m better after a day or two.
Plus while fasting I feel a little bit high so I can just zone out and read or play a video game so I get that being sick part over with quickly.
Just water then?
Yup.
Soups, Gatorade, ginger ale, saltine crackers, DayQuil, cough drops, comfy pajamas, blanket, and gaming ALL FUCKING day
