Every now and then, I end up getting sick. More often than not, if I end up going to the doctor, I’m told “It’s a virus, there is no medicine for you. Take some ibuprophen , drink lots of liquids, blah, blah, blah”
Despite my efforts to relax and rest up yesterday, I ran a fever last night. This morning, my body is aching, my throat is sore, and my glands are swollen. I am staying home from work (and typing on a borrowed computer).
The good thing about this is, I fully intend on staying in my fuzzy pink robe, my nightshirt & mismatched socks all day long.
Rocco & I watched Regis & Kelly and got to see Michele Obama as their guest. The Obamas are the coolest couple on the planet. I don’t ever watch TV unless
A. I’m home sick
B. It’s a great comedy special
C. The Jersey Shore or The Bachelor is on (don’t act like you don’t watch those shows! LOL!)
D. It’s football season
So I thoroughly enjoy the rare moments I get to indulge in some talk shows and Food Network goodness.

What are your sick day rituals?
Lisa says
Mindy, I hope you feel better. My sick day ritual sounds alot like yours. PJ’s, tv…. laundry probably!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Same thing. Just threw some laundry in the wash, now I’m going back to my post on the couch with Wee Dog
Kelly @ D2BD & Cocktails & Cardio says
Kelly always looks SO stinking cute!
Sick rituals sound a lot like yours – rest on the couch/bed, watch tons of tv or movies and just relax. And soup, I love to have soup. Or popsicles if my throat is sore.
Get well soon!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Thanks Kelly! Yeah, Kelly Ripa looks awesome all the time.

Eeks, hope you feel better. The same thing happens to me as well, I go to the doctor, they tell me it’s a virus and I have to wait it out while feeling like death. When I am sick, a hot bath along with chinese delivery with hot and sour soup is a must.
Hope you feel better stat!! Hope you get some good cuddling time with Rocco!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Rocco is the champion snuggler. Homeboy doesn’t lay with you he lays ON you! Hot & Sour soup is the best soup ever.
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
I’m home sick too! Been watching the Real Housewives of NYC marathon all day!
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Aw Jamie! We are in the same boat sistah! I watch No Reservations on demand & Food Network. Rest up!!
