    Watch Star Trek in bed. Or more realistically listen to Star Trek as my eyes will be closed.

    Drink tea and read lots. Maybe bake bread. Being sick is one of the few times I get to stay home, slow down, and put off all the usually daily chores.

    Sleep. The second I start feeling under the weather I adjust to get as much sleep as possible immediately. It absolutely reduces the time needed to recover.

    Work. It takes my mind off being sick if possible. I also like working while sick because it means I can use my paid sick leave as extra holiday.

      Then you run the risk of getting other people sick that way. Unless you can’t afford it, and/or don’t have the sick time, you should never go to work sick unless you work alone. If you do anyway, you’re not being smart, just irresponsible.

          If that is the case, then yeah you’re totally cool. Though I would argue that it did not seem, all that obvious judging from your comment text.

          There are a lot of assholes out there after all.

    Stay in bed for some cat therapy. Nothing like having a warm and purring kitty on each side of you to chase the symptoms away.

    Feel sorry for myself?

    Idk thankfully I don’t get sick very often, and I attribute that to masking, handwashing, and taking every vaccine the world will provide me with. Most of my sick days are something like back pain.

    Take the day off work. Knowing that I can just be under the bed covers and I don’t have to even hear about a work issue.

    When I was younger I’d lie in bed and watch winter sports like ski jumping, biathlon, bobsled, that kind of thing. It was the only thing on t.v. and I never really paid attention. Just people doing stuff in the snow, nice mountain scenery, some commentator talking in the background. It might not sound like much, but it felt soothing for some reason.
    Nowadays fold out the guest bed in the attic, get cozy, and sleep whenever I can. If that’s not possible I play a game to keep myself distracted from how sick I’m feeling.
