sick day list part 3

 

                       

 Even MORE things to do while lying sick in bed

(for the marathon sickies..like me)

21. Take photos of your meds. Resist the urge to reverse the camera view to take a self shot. (think about it, 2-1/2 days without washing hair, same jammies on, nuff.)

22.  Get used to typing and emailing the words "I will not be able to come to _____ today, for I am sick.  (be as descriptively detailed as you desire.)

23 . DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, under any circumstances, no matter HOW Good Food is beginning to look and smell to you, DO NOT bypass the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) of digestive system gradual re-booting... DO NOT even attempt that bowl of cereal with MILK, or You WILL be Sooooorrrryyyy!!! I kid you not, MILK IS THE DEVIL !!!!!!! (trust me, I speak from Experience of Relapse...)

 

moving right along..

24. Curse the daylight that tries to sneak through the blinds.  Begin to emotionally connect with bats and vampires.

25.  Pray some more. Let the Lord dig up all those issues you've pushed out of your conscious mind for so long and let Him deal with you here, in your sprawled out, broken position of illness.  Enjoy the surgery.

26.  Breathe in God's peace as you thank Him for renewed spiritual life in Christ.  So much deeper and eternal than the complaints of the flesh.

27.  Talk to your favorite stuffed animal.  You know, the one you've had since childhood, who sticketh closer than a brother in all your sicknesses and sleepless nights... c'mon, you know you have one... I have Piggy here...

(If only Piggy could speak, oh the secrets she'd tell...be quiet, Piggy!!!) :)

28.  Eyes closed, tap out songs on your fingers and toes. Make up some new ones. Pretend you are a great pianist. 

29.  Go back through every year of your life and try to think of one song that was popular during each year.  Think of the One event of that year that sticks out in your mind.  That way, if someday you fall off a 100-story building, you'll have lots of thoughts to flash before your eyes before you hit the ground.  Nice thought, I know... :)

30.  Go back to sleep.
