I am sick, which is rather surprising as I have the immune system of a Rhino and never, ever get sick. But alas, here I am, sick as a sick thing. I’m sick on the inside- a.k.a. my immune system is failing me, I’m sick on the outside- a broken right wrist, and sick on my lip- cold sore. (I almost wrote coleslaw) What are you suppose to do when you’re sick? There seems to be a list of things, unanimously agreed upon by all of humanity, that one is suppose to do when you are sick. It looks a little something like this:
- Watch daytime T.V
- Read
- Drink lemony yuck things.
- Eat soup
- Rest.
The problem is, I don’t like that list!
I just don’t like T.V. I lived in my apartment for 3 months before we turned the T.V on for the first time.
I’ve spent the last month reading hundreds of pages about teacher discourse and sociology theories and I don’t want to read anymore.
Lemony yuck things are yuck. Unless Glen makes them with honey in which case they’re ok. But there’s only so many of those you can have before your insides turn yellow. (and i know my insides are going yellow from them because my pee is yellow. Isn’t that how it works?)
Soup is overrated.
Rest is very boring.
Wow- can I moan anymore?! Instead of moaning, I’m going to compile a new what-to-do-when-you’re-sick list.
What to do when you’re sick list:
- Up-skill by reading “How to Do Just About Everything”

How to overcome a phobia, lubricate door hinges, leave a party gracefully, cram for a test, examine a mole, keep a dozen roses fresh, retrieve a valuable dropped down the sink…it’s all in there! One of the greatest present I’ve ever received.
. - Make a table from a cardboard box.
I’ve actually done this one. It works really well.

3. Find bizarre Youtube videos. Here are some I prepared earlier:
– Hilarious Japanese Pranks. (really worth a watch!)
- Batman on drugs
- People falling over
4. With the use of this very dynamic and user-friendly Peter Griffin Sound Board, make prank calls.
5. Fold a Towel Elephant.

You don’t know what your missing until you’ve watched daytime oprah.

I completely agree with what you said about the first list. I hate HATE daytime TV with a passion… is it not the most inexcusable waste of a day ever? I never get sick either, but with school holidays I do have a lot of time on my hands, so maybe making a towel elephant is just what I need!
