didn't go to school today...had a temperature of 102...i'm sick, miserable, and bored out of my mind...what do you guys do when you're sick?

Stay bundled up, drink ginger or licorice root tea and watch tv/play video games. Or stay in bed depending on how sick I am.

The same things I do when I'm not sick. No, I'm not kidding. Unless I broke a limb or something, I usually just keep on going. It takes a really high fever to keep me bed-bound and whatnot.

I'm a sissy when I get sick, I feel drained and don't feel like doing much of anything and am spacy as all get out.

How I envy people like Quistis that can keep going despite illness.

Most of the time, it's pretty forced. I'm just too stubborn and proud to let something like illness get the best of me. Then again, I only get really sick about once or twice a year.

Little things like colds and flus really dont stop me, but if i get really ill, like the time i got bronchitis, i have a bad habit of sleeping for like 14 hours.

Then ill do the whole "ghost" routine (when im at home). Ill grab a blanket and walk around with it around the house, hunker down in the lazyboy and eat lots of soup, and a nice warm drink (tea, hot chocolate, coffee), and just sit there watching movies and tv with my laptop lol.

Ironically though, i find that when i'm really sick, i get to enjoy life more I usually like to catch the sunrise, enjoy my backyard.

But i've only gotten really sick once the rest i usually pre-emptively beat it out of my system. Ie, if i start to get a sore throat or a cough ill just get some tylenol cold and flu and hit it when its weak and it usually doesnt bother me much hehe.

When I truly get sick, which happens rarely, I take a nap for a few hours. Then I grab a blanket and set up some video games in my room so I can stay in bed while playing.

I continue on...I just feel more rundown then usual.

I play more video games than normal ^^

mei finishes off whatever she needs to do (homework, chores, etc.) and sleeps for a bit before commencing some feel-good activity, like reading, writing, or watching anime. If it's really bad, she'd wrap up in some blankets, accompanied by her favorite Spanish-speaking imitation-Pooh-bear named Bannie, and lay on the living room couch (most comfortable couch in the house) watching regular TV to sap whatever energy she has left. When said sapping is accomplished, nap-time comes again.

Hm. Now that mei's in college (and living-room-couchless), mei wonders what she will do. *hopes she doesn't get sick while at school*

heh. ill be frank with you - college = you can slack off whenever you want.

I stay lazy and take plenty of rest, because when I try to fight off I usually making it worse and end up being terribly sick.
I use that time to catch up with reading my favorite books.

That's what mei did in high school, anyhow...

...to an extent.

Mei also watches videotapes of Chinese TV "dramas." It's a brain-numbing, but also a feel-good activity.

lols...still sick T_T

but i've been doing the tea thing and i finally got to get me tons of ramen from the supermarket (cures me better than that campbell crap LoL)

you guys are so lucky...i was born without white blood cells so when i get sick (which is AT LEAST 5 times a year) its pretty MAJOR oh well

on the bright side staying home gives me a chance to catch on all my missing assignments and projects (yep...being sick makes me more worried about my grades than usual...lols, i'm such a nerd )

...when i'm sick, my PS2 is my best friend.

seriously.

Sit or lay in bed, watch t.v., read. I really don't mind getting a cold because even though it's yucky, I can still enjoy doing things like watching t.v. or reading. What I hate is stomach viruses, because then nothing entertains me, I just feel miserable.

I usually have one rule: You can never have enough medication when your sick!
Personally I'll drink a bottle of Nightquil; it knocks you right out.

I burn things...JUST PAPER!!! I only burn paper candles and incense. So shut up. SHUT UP!!!!!!!

Only two things change for me when I'm sick...I seem to smoke less, but I drink more...Caribbean spiced rum is the greatest thing in the world for congestion...even if it isn't, after enough of it, you simply don't care anymore! Other than that, I keep going.

If it's something minor, like a cold or sore throat, I'd continue to do normal things. The only time I stay at home and do nothing is if I start puking...*fears vomitting*

hmmm...if i have a cold or something like that and i have no tests or anything i go to school, if i do have a test i act like I'm gonna die...lol i only did that once...or was it 20 times...hmmm. But when ever i do stay home from a cold, the flu, a really ucky, vomitting illness, or some other disease, I go on my computer, read manga and books, watch TV, play video games, do more HW, drink ginsing tea with honey (soo good!) and i eat a bowl of ramen (ramen heals all). now if only i got sick when i need to be (i get sick a lot from the school with all of those kids who come in sick....i carry hand sanitizer where ever i go. Ya it's that bad)

Thats what I try 2 do. but I can't always get what I want.

I sleep about four hours more than usual, eat lots of soup, and sit at the computer or watch t.v all day.

The new thing I started doing while I'm sick is ordering a Greek Goddess pizza which is pesto, spinach, broccoli, olives, feta and garlic.

It chases almost anything out of my system.

I have a habit of taking dayquil (with vitamin c, zinc, and a multi-V), tell myself that I'm really not sick and it's all in my head, and go about with my normal daily routines. But if it's really bad...then i just try to sleep it off.

I feel like crud. I sleep all the time!

When your sick the best thing to do is sleep.

Complaining that i dont want to go to school hehehe but i usually dont take anything i dunno im almost never sick and when i am it goes in 2 or 3 days

This always kicks the crap outta a cold!
My mom's Mexican Chicken Soup! (wtf, I aint mexican!?!?!)

1. Take whole chicken, boil for 2 to 3 hours or until meat falls off the bone
2. pull chicken off of bone, place in broth you made while boiling chicken, add potatoes, carrots and celry(all chopped) and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft
3. add 2 limes worth of lime juice to soup
4. place cilantro in soup add salt and pepper(to taste)
5. Eat with homemade tortillas (or crappy storebought ones)

And It tastes GOOD!

I stay home, wait for my mommy to make me soup and stay bundled in my blanky in my room, watching movies on DVD or playing video games... or listen to music. Ahh, and of course drink yummy ginger ale ._.

i stay in bed and play dead for the whole day..
only waking up for porridge..
or..i stay in bed with the t.v. on the whole day..*anime*

i usally just watch crappy tv -not anime only on the weekdays!! no considdered crappy tv!!!- eat//drink lot's o soup and... complain XD

I sleep for like 10 hours, and I have lots of nightmares.

I sleep

Eating soups seems to help too.

I sleep all day...

sleep for a while, then watch tv

when im sick all i do is sit on the couch and watch TV or go on computer. what else is there to do.

but this when im really sick when im just a little sick then i just do omst things normally.

I get high off cough medicine.

I watch TV.

i stay rapped up in blankets and eat some soap and watch tv.

Don't u mean soup???

you do the same as me

^Sis don't be mean to the poor shippo

I have changed my ways from just sleeping when I am sick to watching tv all day and praying the day would end.

I stay in bed watch TV eat cambles chicken nudlle soup, go on the internet, and play games when i am sick.

I watch TV, but it sucks in the morning...nothing to watch...only Gilmore Girls... but then i sleep...and eat smash potatos(puré d papa----> i don´t know if the name is smash potato...sorry ) and then my mom comes and makes me sleep more...lol

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

and listen to iPod

What else but play video games of course . Nothing like blowing aliens up in Halo or falling in love in an RPG to cure a cold.

lol if I'm allowed online I'll be there ASAP but most of the time I'm not allowed to do anything but eat and sleep

Whenever I get sick it's suspiciously(sp?) ends up on a school day so I'm home alone and can do just about whatever I want.

and you get sick "by accident" on the day of the test that you need more time to study for!
