I'm siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick D:

[Abaratian]

My finals were this week and I've been sick since Sunday. Ughghhh it's been soooo horrible. I deal with illness every time the season changes (season changes are sooooo rough in Georgia). But this time I had to worry about my grades and study through coughing spells, nausea and dizziness. I want to lay in the fetal position and bawl my eyes out!

What do you guys like to do when you're sick?

I wish I could just take a shot of whiskey, curl up on a couch surrounded by comforters fresh from the dryer, and read the third Abarat book. Thanks for taking six years to publish it, Clive Barker!

I've been trying to catch up on my writing but my brain is working so slowly I literally can't form complete thoughts.

Sorry for complaining here. I figured if there was anything to make me feel better, it'd be Abarat.

I suggest a long bath, lots of fluids, paracetamol and stop worrying and go get some sleep. You've probably got this cold because you've run yourself down worrying about your finals. Take a time out, you can't do anything constructive when you're feeling ill anyway!

My personal cure for feeling ill is eating loads of food! Although, to be honest that's my cure for pretty much anything. Are you sure it's not hayfever? Usually I avoid all the coughs and sneezes of winter, only to be attacked by pollen.

Best of luck with your finals, I'm sure you'll do great, cold or no!

Aw! *pets*

Look, try to relax about your finals. They'll probably give you extension if you ask for it. You can't help being sick after all. You'll do fine, just focus on getting better. *hugs*

Now for the curing bit: I agree with redstockings, drink lots and lots of water, take some paracetamol and get some sleep. And for entertainment, although I know nothing can beat the third book (curse you, Barkeeeer!), how about some sweet teveseries? Off the top of my head: Scrubs, House MD, Rome, Carnivale, Red Dwarf, Star Trek, and so on and so on... the list is endless. Check out ninjavideo.net, you can watch a great deal of awesome things streamed there. Like cartoons. :3

This is basically what I do: curl up in front of my laptop and watch awesome things until I fall asleep, wake up, coughs and giggles at some stupid joke on the screen, eat some candy, topple over, wake up three hours later disoriented and feverish, eat something, try to read, fall asleep with face trapped in book... repeat until healthy.

Also, my mom always used to say that you should get Candy Vitamins when you're sick. Just a little bit of nibbly to cheer you up, you know? <3

Take care of yourself and get well soon! <3

[Abaratian]

Thanks so much guys Some good ideas on here!

I get attacked by pollen every year, too, but this is not the case. I think it probably started out as allergies but just got worse and worse because of my stress. Finals are over though, so I can finally relax!

Oh gosh... the ninjavideo website looks amazing

[RedStockings]

Get well soon Abaratian, I don't want you to be ill!!!

[Cesaria]
