Illness 101

I am not feeling too good. As in my throat is acting out, my eyes are redder than after a long night of tequila and I sound like an old car not being able to start. But I have a routine and it promises to get me back on full power in no time.

Here are my best ‘beat-the-illness’-tips:

1. Stay warm.
2. Drink warm things, whether you like tea, coffee, hot chocolate or a mix just drink it as liberally.
3. Watch films. My personal favourite would be any Harry Potter film as I find them extremely healing – you always feel better after a bit of magic.
4. Watch TV-shows. I have a few good ones – both happy and not so happy. Check out Once Upon a Time (more magic) and Hart of Dixie. They really do the job.
5. Listen to music. Preferably your most guilty pleasure and do remember to turn it all the way up.
6. Make people do things for you. It is nice to be cuddled when you feel bad.
7. Read books. I love books – they are the best thing ever. Right now I am reading Dash & Lily´s Book of Dares and so far (p. 30) I like it.
8. Eat Strepsils, Zyx or something of the sort. And do not mind the amount allowed on the box – they are good for you (joke – follow instructions).
9. Online shopping. It is like therapy for both mind and body.
10. Cuddle under the covers – I mean, you have to do this. It is the whole point of being ill. Why else would there be illness if not to give you a few days of snuggling?

I hope these tips will work for you as well. OH! I nearly forgot the most important thing – EAT LOADS OF CHOCOLATE!
