The past few days I’ve been home sick with a bad cold/flu. I've pretty much spent the last two days in bed on my laptop. Catching up on homework I feel behind on when I went away for the long weekend, and watching way too many episodes of Modern Family (my new favourite TV show. I guess there are few reasons for this solitude: a) to be perfectly honest I don't feel like doing much, b) I don't want to get my family sick, and c) they don't want to get sick, so thusly they are staying far away from me. In fact, my sister has forbid me from going into her bedroom. If I want to talk to her I must stand outside her door, announce myself, and then let her open the door (so I don't get my germs on it), and then stand in the doorway if I want to talk to her. Which sounds a bit extreme, but in all honesty I think it's fair enough as she has exams coming up.
Since I've been really sick, I haven’t been very hungry, and what I’ve been eating is pretty simple. When I get sick, I always lose my appetite, and only feel like eating plain food. So, out of sheer boredom, and having nothing better to do, I thought I’d compose a list of the things that I eat (and drink) when I’m sick, that help me feel better.
So, here is my list, in complete random order.
1) Orange Juice. I always drink OJ when I’m sick in order to get enough vitamin C
2) Smoothies. If my throat is sore, the cold icy-ness is very soothing
3) Tea. Mostly herbal kinds. Like chamomile, lemon/ginger, or peppermint
4) Chicken Noodle Soup. Enough said.
5) Spicy food. Such as curries, if my nose is stuffy they really help.
6) Toast. Because if my stomach is upset, its easy on it.
7) Boiled eggs. They’re simple, but somehow only taste good when you’re sick.
8) Popsicles. Good for sore throats.
Well I feel as if that was somewhat of an long enough post, -- at least it gave me something to do for a while. Anyway, now its time for me to get some rest, and watch more Modern Family! :)
