Spent most of Thursday and Friday home sick, and for me that means asleep. Whatever meds, or flu remedies, or whatever I might take or have recommended to me, the best thing for my body is to just shut down for a while.
"Advil? Aspirin? Yeah, okay, cool. But I got this." [thud] ZZZZZ
The Love of My Life would check in occasionally when the snoring stopped, make me drink something, convince me to eat something as my guts allowed, and then let me fall down again.
When I couldn't sleep, I would read for a while. Cheerful stuff like finishing the Hunger Games trilogy, or "The Eerie Adventures of the Lycanthrope Robinson Crusoe." Cheery stuff, made for some really interesting fever dreams.
And when I didn't feel like reading, I would knit. Yes, I'm into knitting now. Finished a cap, then looked around for other project ideas. What I settled on was making bandages for leprosy victims. No, I'm not making that up, nor am I trying to be funny (for a change.)
There's a real need for them, and a small organization is coordinating volunteers and shipping them to Vietnam. Might as well put my latest creative hobby to good use, rather than for adding to a costume or a set of reenacting gear.
If you knit, take a look at their site and consider volunteering your time, talent, and/or treasure.
