Mostly OT...what I do when I'm sick
Ok...This past week has been the busiest of the year...but I expected it, it happens
every year. Symphony Concerts (I sing in them with the chorus), rehearsals, getting all the gifts and cards ready to mail, decorating, cleaning the house for company, along with all the myriad other beginning of the month errands...I wonder for a while if it'll ever slow down. Saturday I woke up feeling like i had a cold just waiting to pounce on me, but knew that I couldn't let it. After all, I had two concerts to sing in...so the cold would just have to wait. I loaded myself up with all kinds of herbal remedies, slathered on some Vicks, and lots of naps. Two days, two concerts and a zillion Ricola later, i made it through the weekend, only to get a call at 3 this morning from my best friend to pick her up from the Emergency Room. I didn't mind, honest...I'd do that for anyone, unless I was on my sick bed. I got home and couldn't sleep for a couple of hours, and when i finally did, the alarm went off way too early. So I told Jym i was sleeping in....no running the errands I'd planned today. There was nothing that couldn't wait just one more day, after all. So...I've spent the day in bed so far...it's nice, but I can't talk...the laryngitis waited until this morning to hit me...good timing, I think. DH is running some of the errands for me, after all, we do have to eat...LOL. Anyway...i'm sitting here, bored out of my skull. We did our homeschool lessons, we've eaten breakfast and lunch (thanks to my ever independent 6 year old), and we've checked email, and newsgroup messages....napped a couple of times....now i'm beside myself with boredom. SO.....I just pulled out my drawer where i keep all my beading supplies, and i'm sitting in my bed, making beaded ornament hangers. Hey, at least i'm doing *something* productive, or at least it appears that way. What do the rest of you do when you're restless, but too sick to do much? -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne |

-- Read. Read. and then probably Read some more! I probably have at least a dozen books in the "to be read" pile and a half dozen more that I've started and put down for some reason. A day in bed is a day to read! Cheri - hoping I don't get sick anyway |

I'm there right now, and I usually hang out on the computer when I am sick,
due to a total lack of creative energy. I should make beads today....... I really should..... ***sigh*** Hope you're feeling better soon! -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Ok...This past week has been the busiest of the year...but I expected it, it happens every year.

In article . net,
says... What do the rest of you do when you're restless, but too sick to do much? Read! I always have "to-be-read" books, but when I'm sick I tend to revert to the old favorites that I can put down whenever I get sleepy because I already know how they end. I can read in preference to just about anything else.

Ooooh I HATE that. Not sick enough to be passed out in the bed, but not well
enough to actually DO anything. I've had a LOT of that lately. Mostly I pace. I float through the house with a grimace on my face and whine to any creature who will listen... Two legged or four legged. I try to watch TV, but I'm not good at sitting still that long. I can't torch when I'm like that. And I usually can't even concentrate enough to read. I guess that, ultimately, I just roam around until I can go to sleep.

I don't get sick days( I have one of those DH's that is perpetually
*sicker than me*; when I say, "Honey, I feel like crap! This cold is killing me!", he says, "I have a cold, too, and my back hurts!" When I am sick, my day seems to go exactly like every other day. I guess the only difference is that instead of beading or sewing, I carry a notebook around and doodle my plans for sewing and beading;o) -- Kyla @Hippobottomus.com TONS of fabric for sale! http://www.hippobottomus.com/fabsale.html Current auctions: http://tinyurl.com/ppso What do the rest of you do when you're restless, but too sick to do much? -- Jalynne |
