Default What do you do while at home sick?

I've been stuck at home since tuesday and prob will be over the weekend, some virus coughing up green stuff, you know, the usual, cold out here so not supposed to be outside, so no work on car, and its friday so everyone's out.

WTF can I do? I've been finding increasingly over the top ways to spend the money my credit card can provide, hell I've already picked up a 35 spline detroit locker for my XE ute project. The current LTD isn't even finished yet, but I couldn't pass it up, $760 brand new, seems too good to be true, we'll see.

net
girl
playstation
net
spend money
eat
sleep
pace aimlessly around room
spend more money
sleep
regret spending money

Net, sleep, net, sleep, V8 supercars, sleep and then you'll be all good mate. If you've got Austar you could go the Super 14 action (my choice). Throw a bottle of some good stuff in there and some KFC and it's a perfect weekend really!

I use my philosophy of alcohol kills germs, so by drinking a bottle of tequila, Ill kill all the germs. Makes you really sick the next day though, (sick and a hangover), but after that day, I usually get better.

Dosnt that sort of defeat the purpose of the sick day. It is supposed to be a day off work to recover and come back fresh.

Same things as I normally do - work, look after the kids and the baby, do the housework... problem with being sick is that the world doesnt stand still and wait for you to get better. :(

Been sick all week this week, but thankfully my car has been sick too (busted gearbox) and has been in "hospital" all week, back Monday. Couldnt drive anywhere anyway, even if I wanted to.

This time of the year sucks for getting sick.
