Sick days are funny. I don’t have very many of them. And when I do, I don’t know what to do with myself.
I watched a movie with the kids. Then I watched a documentary. Then I read some things on the Internet. I responded to a few emails. Now what? I got up off the couch, but I’m not sure it’s a good idea. My head is kind of swimming, and my body still aches. I actually got plenty of sleep last night, and I’m not ready for more. So I’m just kind of in limbo.
What now? What do you do?
I’m so bored.
