Often when I'm sick I like to read a book or watch movies. Other times I just lay around and sleep all day, hoping the pain with go away. What do you like to do when you are ill? Are you irritable or content?

The last time I was sick was when I got the flu and I was just staying in my room and watching TV and switching channels. Then I go down for food and drinking lots of water and going to the bathroom. Then I took my own temperature and get my own medication. Sometimes I cook the food when nobody else is around and I just force myself to eat even just a bit. Then I will sleep the whole afternoon.

Aww, I feel bad for you. You need someone to take care of you when you're ill.

When I'm sick I enjoy pulling out old videos - like ones I enjoyed watching when I was a kid. I think it brings back memories and makes me feel some added comfort when I'm feeling under the weather. I also like to just relax on the couch. Sometimes read if I'm not feeling too bad. Not much more than that to do when you're really not feeling well. Sometimes a bubble bath can be nice and relaxing if you have a cold.

I like to watch old movies too. My favorite is The Little Mermaid. What's your favorite movie to watch from your childhood?

When I sick I lay down on my bed and sleep,I dont read heavy books,I just read some comic books.Reading heavy books will drain your energy and it will make you sick for much longer time.Turn on the radio and avoid your PC.If you bored you can go online,but dont use your PC,use your hand phone instead.One more thing do not forget to eat,like a cat or dogs after they fight they always eat a lot and go to sleep.
