i never get sick but i am sick today, and i so far have tidied my room a little bit, slept, watched a very low-stimulation show, and drank an acetaminophen drink. rest is definitely best, but you could also try drinking a warm drink, sleeping with a hot water bottle, putting a cool cloth on your head, reading a book or listening to an audiobook/music, etc. if you want to feel ‘productive’, maybe try writing or drawing, or crocheting/knitting if that’s your thing.
feel better soon!

recently i was suddenly BEDRIDDEN for like a week. and while i thought i would die from fever i:
-drained a bottle of robotussin (you can use any cold medicine you like as long as it puts you into a painless haze and gives you strange dreams, this will make the experience a spiritual one)
-take this opportunity to binge a show and let beverages and snacks pile up at your bedside. we working adults don’t often have this opportunity. for me it was twin peaks, the fever increased the already hallucinogenic experience of the show.
-called friends and family
-i really dont know, probably just take advantage of the time to chill and nap because it’s rare. hope you get better soon!

getting sick was something that was inevitable eventually, especially as i havent been sick in two and a half years. i went to sleep last night feeling a bit muddled and woke up with a sore throat and a head cold. i'm grateful that i only have a little sickness and that i have a proper excuse to lounge around (despite my to-do list). im in bed, underneath five blankets, four stuffed animals, three pillows, a scone, a book, my journal, my laptop, and my second medicine ball of the day. being a little sick is very good indeed.

When you feel the sickness coming on, it’s best to prepare for the next couple days. Here’s some of the things I like to do:
- Clean up: you’re certainly not going to want to do it when you feel like shit
- Stock up on food: specifically, readymade meals and comforting foods. Also tea.
- Set up your outfits: doing laundry and preparing clothes for the next couple days makes a much larger difference than you would think.
Anyways that’s it I hope you feel better :)

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
