I know you are all dying for a new edition on what to do when you're sick and bored, so let's get started and see where it takes us.
1. Stare at your house until you truly detest it. As soon as you're well, waste all your energy repainting everything, which makes you sick again, so you have to stare at your house again, but at least you're staring at something new...for now.... This is the activity that never ends. It just keeps going and going.
2. Stare longingly outside your bedroom window. Think of all the things you would plant if you could spend time outdoors. When you're tired of this, change windows. Since there are a million windows in your house, this activity could last all day.
3. Stare at the TV but don't turn it on. You're sick of TV.
4. Read (Ha! You thought I'd say 'stare' again!) so many books people think there's something wrong with you. (Well, actually there is, it's called 'chronic illness'.)
5. Play with your food, because actually eating it will only yield horrifying results. (There's an entire post on playing with food while you're sick somewhere on this blog.)
6. Plan vacations you can never take.
7. Pet every single bunny in the house. (What? Not everything on the list can drip with the cold bitterness of a wasted life.)
8. Think of the people you love and notice all the little things they do for you.
9. Remember you never would have spent so much time with family, been able to pet bunnies, begun writing novels, or read a zillion books a year if you hadn't been sick most of the time.
10. Realize that life is good anyway.
