Sorry for the blogging absence, I have been on a vacation also known as being deathly sick! (Not really deathly, but very very unpleasantly.) I'm sure that I've felt worse at some point, but I can't recall anything at the moment. It was good times.
In my experience, there's two kinds of sick people. The first kind wants people to wait on them hand and foot and give them sympathy on tap. The second kind wants to curl up under the bed like a dying cat and scream "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Personally, I'm of the latter category, which of course means that everyone in the world wanted to check on me and make sure I was feeling okay and give me a healthy guilt complex when I snarled and plunged my head back under the covers.
Maybe it would be easier if I got sick more. Usually I get a cold once or twice a year and that's about it. Perhaps you build up immunity to unpleasantness if you experience it more? However, I'm going to have to come down on the side of "not worth it". So, my advice to you is, don't get sick! This is a tried-and-true method that really really works.
I don't get sick too often. I do get a cold at least once a year, but to be actually sick enough to miss work, every two or three years. And I'm still mad when it takes my sister 3 days to realize that I'm actually sick. I take a cue from both categories. A "want sympathy so no one's mad at me for missing work so I can go home and burrow into my bed until I'm better but please don't disturb the hibernation" kind of camp. Lol!
ReplyDeleteBest of both worlds! That sounds about right ;)
DeleteI'm also in the latter category, BUT! I do like people bringing me food and stuff, as long as they have the good sense to leave right after making their delivery!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm really sick I can't even eat, so I'm mostly rolling around in misery going LEEEAVEEE BRITNEY ALOOOONE or whatever :P
