I've decided I like lists. So today I thought I'd make a list of all the fun things a person can do while they're so sick they'd just as soon be dead and they've been confined to their bedroom for a little longer than what's good for their sanity! I don't know where I come up with this great stuff!!!
1. Stare at your bedroom until you decide you hate everything in it. Bonus points if you actually overhaul the entire room when you feel better again.
2. Origami tissues. Since there's not typically a lot of entertainment in a bedroom you have to get creative. The tissue box is right there - just pull one out. My specialties are a rock and a piece of crumpled paper - you should see them - very realistic.
3. Blowing saltine cracker crumbs everywhere. This one you have to try to know how fun it is. Stuff a bunch of saltines in you mouth - crunch them swiftly and carelessly with your mouth open - this works best if your mouth is really dry - then blow. It's like snow. Ah, the excitement.
4. Call for people. Your family will love this one. Always wait till they've left the room before you call them back. Make sure they've made it a good way down the hall at least.
6. Blow bubbles in your drink with a straw. I think this one is self explanatory.
7. Obsess about the cleanliness of your room. Allow the tiniest purity infraction to really get in your craw until you're so indignant it almost gives you enough energy to do something about it. Creating drama in your life really makes it more interesting. (What is a craw exactly?)
8. Check Facebook, Pinterest and every other social websites you can think of and keep looking at them until your brain melts.
9. Complain. This is especially fun when you have an audience but said audience is not actually necessary.
10. Find shapes in your ceiling texture. This is almost as good as finding shapes in clouds!
11. Look at everything cross eyed. The downside to this one is that it might make you feel sicker, especially if you have a stomach complaint. Squinting at everything can be pretty entertaining too.
12. Make a landscape out of your blanket. Mostly I make mountains and hills.
13. Watch TV until all your faith in humanity is irretrievably lost. Let's face it, depression is better than boredom.
14. While watching TV squish peoples heads on the screen between your fingers or look at them through a circle you make with your hand. TVs and optical illusions can pass quite bit of time.
16. Change channels on your TV really quickly and string the sound bites together to create crazy conversations.
17. Have someone get a remote control for your lamps. Click them on and off and on and off. You can make your own light show!
18. Use a lamp to make a shadow show on the wall. Butterflies and crocodiles are my favorite.
19. When everything else fails to entertain and you're getting desperate blog about something really stupid.
