Top 5 Tasks to put off when sick
Children are amazing creatures. They are so sweet, and many love to share. Germs. They love to share germs, and one of those little bastards nailed me with a nasty summer cold.
I dropped hubby off for his overnight work trip and he told me to get some rest. So before I resume my marathon of Markiplier's Prop Hunt game series, I thought I'd share the top things I stop doing when I'm sick.
1. No Cooking.
I hate cooking on a good day, but when I'm sick, I really don't want to do it. Not only do I not want to exert the effort, but I also don't want to contaminate food other people will consume. Basically I live on sandwiches and canned soup.2. No Real Dishes
Perhaps the real reason I hate cooking is the cleanup involved. So since dishes are off the list when I'm sick, I use up leftover paper plates from holidays, containers I can throw away, and in a pinch, I eat things I can consume over the sink or off a paper towel. Creativity runs rampant when I need to come up with a container.3. No Folding Laundry
I'll still wash clothes, because clean clothes are important. But they stay in a clean pile in a hamper where I can dig out what I need. Sure there might be wrinkles, but I'm sick. The farthest I'm going is to the mailbox. I could give a fuck if my clothes are wrinkled. And I'm most likely still in my PJ's.4. No Socializing
If I had some kind of event or meeting when I come down with a bug, I try to reschedule. Unless it's vital, I try to isolate myself to not spread the germs. Me hunkering down in my pile of blankets with my computer and lemon water for a couple days might just keep my friends and random folks in the outside from getting sick. So I stay home when I can and hand sanitize before touching any public surface otherwise.5. No Schedules
When there are vital things, I get them done as soon as possible, and then I beg off anything that's not in the "No-or-Never" category. After this blog, I'm sending a couple emails, and taking a nap with my pets. Sick days are about check lists and riding the cold med wave to snag sleep when you can.
What do you stay far away from when you're sick? Any old tricks for getting better quick? I always put rosemary extract on my pillow to help me breathe a little easier. Hope you're all staying healthy. I'm off to grab some more meds before I crash. Take it easy, everyone.
