It’s official: I am sick. And right now I  feel like procrasting homework blogging. Here are the necessities of a sick day, for me at least

Make sure you get lots and lots of FoodNetwork. So when you are well, you will have a new recipe idea in mind! [Total cooking-show addict speaking at the moment] Plus, The Neelys may take your mind off your bummy self AND give you a little giggle or two

Of course, if you get tired of watching people cook great-looking food, you can always opt out for some mind-numbing reality show action…such as…..

One episode and I was hooked. I even have Jason wanting to watch it!

Oh, don’t forget to have a box of tissues, a bag of cough drops and your cell phone near at all times.

The reasons for the cough drops and tissues are obvious. Your phone is so you can text your boyfriend/husband/friend/whoever to let them know how bad you feel, that you just sneezed, that there is no way you can cook dinner for anyone tonight….so on and so forth. Keep it to a minimum of 60 messages though, you don’t want to annoy them  

If you are sick, you will also need lots fruit (for the vitamins!)..

..and since you are already in the kitchen snacking on fruit, why not whip up a Green Monster while you are at it??

[Sorry for the brightness, it was taken with my old camera]:D

Allow yourself to take frequent naps with a furry animal..

or stuffed animal if your cat is too busy cleaning himself and the dog is too old to jump on the bed

After your nap, you may want a little sugar to wake you up. If your boyfriend is at work and can’t give you any sugar, you’ll have to settle for the next best thing:

Girl scout cookies with chocolate syrup. ‘Nuff said.

If you get sick of watching TV, you can alwasy provide yourself a mug of hot tea and a few light reading materials:

Dare I say that I like reading my textbooks?!? I guess that is a sign that I am going into the right profession [And the FitnessRx is for the workouts they have! I learn something everytime I get a copy!]

If all else fails, you can always call your mom and complain, stalk your friends on Facebook or watch bad Lifetime movies on the telly Whatever floats your boat.

But, let me warn you…since you are too weak to be standing around and cooking in the kitchen, you may have to survive off of your boyfriends specialty grilled cheese with canned soup for a few nights. Beware! Just remember, those grilled cheese sandwiches and bowls of canned soup are made with 100% love.
