This week I was ambushed by a very speedy, evil virus of some sort. For the last few days, I have only ventured out of the house for Nyquil and the gay rights rally (one must have one’s priorities straight* you know).
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, being sick doesn’t mean I haven’t been able to work, which is nice, or will be nice when the mortgage is due next month. But it has had some side benefits that I have been able to appreciate. So, I give you 6 Degrees’ top 10 list of the advantages of being sick…
1. Food Network/Iron Chef marathon: No guilt.
2. Bacon for breakfast every day.
3. Nyquil buzz. Woo hoo!
4. Unlimited nap time.
5. Excuse to take multiple bubble baths (you know, for the decongestant effects).
6. Much laying on the couch and reading crappy novels (oh, and by the way, I read “Twilight”–and all I can say is Jeeeezzzzussss, they made a movie out of that piece of crap?)
7. Caught up on my 30 Rock DVDs and started in on the Flight of the Conchords.
8. Yay, Tater left his puppy here to snuggle with me. Extra super benefit.
9. Scratchy voice = easy excuse for getting off the phone quickly (or not answering at all).
10. Uncontrollable coughing at door scares away the Jehovah’s Witnesses (bonus!).
* yes, pun intended

I got hit with a bad cold on my way back from Thanksgiving at the in-laws. I’m almost back to normal, but was down for a couple days…

or how about the disadvantages. . . I was out a couple of weeks ago, spent a day watching daytime television and decided that I wasn’t sick enough to put myself through that much torture.
