Not Me Monday: Home Sick

I am home sick today. And I am an awesome patient when I am alone and home sick!

I do NOT have to convince myself to stay in bed all day fighting the arguments in my head that there is SOMETHING else I should be doing -- ANYTHING else I should be doing. I do NOT have trouble letting myself sleep when I would rather at least enjoy my day off -- I have NOT been known to put a fun movie on with the screwy logic that as long as I stay in bed, I am still resting... even though the movie is keeping me from sleeping.

Furthermore, I always eat properly when I am home sick. Today, for example, I did NOT eat Twizzlers as my first meal/snack of the day - just because it was within arms length. I always make myself soup and other nourishing food for my ailing body. Like right now, for example, I am not searching my brain for what is pre-made in my kitchen... pre-made and quickly accessible so I can come back to bed asap -- bed where I have Gilmore Girls playing.

Oh, and I sleep on a very tall loft -- 6' in the air lofted... so when I'm sick, I do NOT pull my mattress completely off my bed and onto the floor so that I don't have to climb up and down in my weakened state.
