How to Entertain Yourself When you Have a Cold

For the past week, I have had a pretty nasty cold, which thanks to the weather aggravated it. My weekend was spent mostly at home trying to recuperate. But for me, there's nothing more boring than being stuck for an extended period of time in a room (unless of course, I'm sleeping) without anything to keep me entertained.

So, after loading up on Tylenol Cold, Vapor Rub, and a packet of cough drops, drinking plenty of orange juice and slurping on piping hot soup, I entertained myself by watching Season 1 & 2 of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight." I had read a lot about this TLC show back in the summer, when Jon made a bit of too much headline news.

I had never heard of this show before, but decided it could be quite useful to know how to raise eight kids at once.....especially from an organizational, logistical and financial point of view. Plus, those little sextuplets are so adorable. You don't require the use of too many brain cells to watch this show, which is good, because when you have a cold, your intellectual cells seem to be asleep ;)

Other things you can do: sleep, read a book (though I don't really do this when I'm sick, because my eyes usually feel too tired to read a book), listen to an audiobook/podcast or music, email family/friends, surf the Internet, and sleep...did I say this already?

PS = I am forced to do laundry today though, as I am running out of clean clothes. It's still an indoor activity, so can fall under the things to do.
