things to make your sick self feel better.

I have the worst cold in the world and I feel like I'm dying. I know I'm not the only one. It seems like all my friends and co-workers have got this icky sickness at least once this winter. I think this is my third time being sick in the last couple months. Blech! It wasn't so bad the first two times, but this is the WORST. I've been trying to lay low and recuperate, but it's hard to do with that whole job and school thing. Alas. Here are some things that are making me feel better. (sidenote: How awesome is my Space Unicorn?! My friend Megan made it for my birfday. I haven't named it yet, but I'm totally in love with it.)

TEA TEA TEAI just want to drink hot tea all day long. The steam helps my congestion, the hot cup feels nice in my hands, and I have some yummy flavors. Tea is just so comforting when I'm all "blechhhh".

Baths!These are made even better by a nice Lush bath bomb. Today I used Phoenix Rising, which smells like cinnamon-apple and makes the water a pretty deep purple. It's nice to just relax in a hot bath and forget that I feel like I'm dying of the black plague.

My Favorite TV Shows
It lifts my spirits a bit when I watch some of my most-loved shows. I adore comedies like 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Community, and The Office. Also, some Doctor Who always gives me warm fuzzy feelings!

A Phone Call to Mom
It's always nice to talk to my mom and catch up on things. She's always suggesting recipes to try, drinks to make, crafts to try out. When I'm sick, she always knows what I need to get better, and what medicines/vitamins I should be taking.

Comfy Soft Fuzzy ThingsI'm a very tactile person, so it's comforting to me when I'm covered in my fuzziest blankets, laying on my fuzziest pillow. If I'm sick, I try to wear the comfiest clothes I have. Right now, it's a long, soft cotton skirt, a stripey tank top, a worn-out cardigan, and fuzzy socks.

I hope this helps anyone out there who also has this awful virus.. Let's feel better soon, friends!
What do you guys do to comfort yourself when you're feeling icky?
