As I sit here suffering from what I'll dub the "Canadian" flu, it's always good to look at the bright side of things. Today I hit a high temperature of 103.6°F! Woohoo! (Trust me, I was not saying that at the time...) So here's a list of good things about being sick.
- I get out of work. Yippee!
- I don't have to tend to the darn kids, hard to do while bedridden. Although that doesn't prevent them from having tantrums on the floor next to my bed.
- I don't have to cook.
- I can use a laptop in bed.
- I can still blog (deliriously) if my temp is under 102°F.
- I can eat in bed.
- I don't have to shovel snow.
- I don't have to do any household chores like cleaning and laundry.
- I'll hopefully lose some weight as my appetite is not very good.
- I actually get to read the woefully neglected books on my nightstand.
- I get to sleep as long as I want (granted, waking up every hour with fits of coughing or the sweats).
- I can sleep with a kitty at my feet (always on my side, hmph!).
- I will eventually get better!

That's a good way to look at being sick. Happy TT to you and I hope you're all better soon..
That's the right attitude -- look on the bright side!
Great Thursday post! Come see mine before everyone drinks it!
The Canadian flu? Thats a new one..... well here's to hoping you feel better real soon *raises a cup of mocha*
I am up too.
Hope you are feeling much better soon, then you can fake it for two more days and really enjoy everything on your list. Have a great TT.
Please come infect me. I want to stay in bed all day!
Get well - but not too quickly.

I think that I'm trying to come down with something. :(
I've got that itchy feeling in my throat AND my nose is stuffy.

Take it easy and feel better soon!!
Mine's up here!
I hope you get better soon, but at least you've found a silver lining to being sick. :)
My Thursday Thirteen is up too! :)
Poor thing. Get better soon! But enjoy your rest while you can.
I love to practice "enjoying everything" including sicknesses.
You have the right idea!
You makin' it sound waaay too good! Very original TT.
All of those are very, very true. Good thinking. And get better fast!
There are time when I almost wish I would get (slight) sick, just so I could spend the day in bed... Great list! :)
Sometimes getting sick and under the weather is the only time we allow ourselves to throw out the schedules and let our imagination and sleep guide us. I think it is good for our "mental health" to take breaksa s well as our tired bodies. I enjoyed reading this post.
cheers

Ohhh, I hope you feel better! I lost 7lbs in the 5 days I was sick last week so hopefully you will have some of that benefit too.
Happy belated TT.
