stay in bed all day

After having been sick on and off for a couple weeks, my tonsils had reached the point of being not only massive but also incredibly painful. So the nurse-on-call at Health Services (it was after-hours) prescribed me some Vicodin and I was a happy camper. However, when I woke up early in the morning to take some, I forgot that you’re not supposed to take it on an empty stomach. So off I went to my doctor’s appointment – where I promptly passed out. They sent me off to the infirmary, where they fed me chicken soup, took a blood test (turns out that, indeed, I had mono), and let me sleep/chill out for the rest of the day. I didn’t go back to my room until that night (where I went back to sleep pretty much right away). While being sick COMPLETELY sucked, there was something really gratifying about being able to justify forcing my body to relax and sleep for an entire day.

Definitely worth doing. Pamper yourself – cups of tea, box of chocolates, portable dvd player/very good book. Sleep when you want, or just lay in bed and daydream.

The only time this is worth doing is when I’m sick, but I hate being sick, so it sucks. I do like to just chill at the house all day, though, especially when I feel overworked.

This has only happened to me a couple times – typically when I’ve been sick. I hate it. I feel like I’ve lost those days forever.

sick and bored. maybe i’ll try this another time: with company. hahahah

Did this today. In my defense, I am quite ill, and on summer vacation.

ONCE IN AWHILE. I can’t do it all the time… i’m too antsy.

Had a great time in a cheap and cheerful hotel in Venice, February 2006. But we didn’t stay in bed every day, so there’s also a large number of beautiful 3D pictures of the town on my Flickr.

there’s too much to see and do otherwise :)

with company and when not in bed because I am too sick to get up
