I'm cooped up at home right now cause I've got a virus of some kind, and it made me think what do you like to do when you're home sick?

My partner is lovingly bringing me anything I ask for (lots of hot tea, inexplicably large quantities of hash browns) and I'm laying in bed watching TV and it's been quite nice considering I am feeling like shit.

It makes me think about how growing up my dad never took care of my mom the way she took care of him, and the way my partner is taking care of me. I know there are endless stories similar to my mom, but I'm kinda rambling here now.

Hopefully you stay in good health, but if you did get sick, what is your ideal sick day?

Knowing I have lots of time off to recover, getting all wrapped up in blankets, and staying in bed with lots of snacks and tv shows. 👌👌👌

As long as all these conditions are met, depending on the type of sick, I actually kinda like it? That's super weird, I know lol

    No I get it, even if my physical self feels like shit, its kinda nice for the mental and emotional self!

    Laying in bed all day is like meditation, and seeing how much my partner cares is so heartwarming I have cried more than once today.

    That’s so sweet that they’re taking such good care of you 🥹

    I hope you feel better physically soon and get all the mental rest you need now!

    I adore the hell out of her, absolute sweetest person I know. I really hope she doesn't get sick but if she does I got her at least ten times over for how sweet she is.

    Thank you! I'll definitely be going to bed soon. hopefully then I wake up tomorrow great.
