10 Positives to Being Sick

As I have been laying around in bed for the past three days, it's given me a lot of time to contemplate things. I'm so thankful for this little break from reality. Being sick has actually been a pretty decent experience! Sadly, my cold is coming to an end, as I've hit the "nose faucet/sneezemachine" phase. My sinuses are draining like mad, and with it the pain and pressure are making an exit.

10 Plus-sides to having a cold

1. Now there's finally time to read that book that's been gathering dust upon the shelf.

2. It's a valid excuse to take a day off from work and/or school.

3. It helps train your body to fight back against even stronger microbes.

4. It's a valid excuse to avoid unwanted human contact/conversation.

5. You can sleep in bed all day.

6. Now there's finally a use for that unused box of tissues.

7. You might lose a little weight from all the energy your body is using to kill the microbes.

8. You regain an appreciation for tea.

9. If you're lucky, a significant other may surprise you with some soup and TLC.

10. If anyone pisses you off, you are now in the possession of a potential bio-warfare device.

Now I'm off to attempt reading "50 Shades of Grey." I have only read through the first paragraph and I can already tell the writing is absolutely awful. I want to gouge my eyes out. But I must persevere! がんばる！
