what I do when I’m sick

I'm sick.  I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew that because I've told everyone.  I haven't shouted it from the rooftops, because my throat hurts too much.  So, I thought I'd tell you what I do when I'm sick.

1. Watch movies.  I've watched 3 or 4 movies today, 2 documentaries from my bed.  Not my deathbed, just my bed.

2. Chatted with friends on Facebook.  This is something I do everyday, but today my throat hurts too much to talk, so it's Facebook, smoke signals, or gang signs.  Oh, and texts and emails, because I don't know Morse code.

3. Played way too much Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook.

4. Scratched off a scratch-off lottery ticket.  Megan came by my mailbox and put in one of those chain letter things where you send 6 lottery scratch-offs to someone and you're supposed to get 36.  Well, I lost.  I'm not doing it.

5. Listened to Andrew tell knock-knock jokes.  All of his jokes end with "______ on your head."  This grows old after a few jokes.

6. Ordered 3 magazines. 

7. Looked at lolcats.

8. Communicated via Barbie walkie-talkie with the children.

9. Taken Tylenol, Advil, and sprayed my throat with Chloraseptic.  It still burns.  I think I need ice cream.

10. Read up on how to install Windows and Parallels on my iMac so I can use Homestead Sitebuilder for the ScrapFest website.

11. Coughed.  A lot.

12. Felt the swollen glands in my neck to see if they're swollen.  They are.

13. Used my voice for two phone calls.  Andrew's school and my doctor's office.  Should have sent smoke signals.

14. Tried to nap.  Tried.

15. Wrote this blog.

16. Developed a crush on British comedian Alan Davies, a panelist on the show Q.I.  He's the one rhyming things with "purple" in this clip.  SO my type.
