i never get sick but i am sick today, and i so far have tidied my room a little bit, slept, watched a very low-stimulation show, and drank an acetaminophen drink. rest is definitely best, but you could also try drinking a warm drink, sleeping with a hot water bottle, putting a cool cloth on your head, reading a book or listening to an audiobook/music, etc. if you want to feel ‘productive’, maybe try writing or drawing, or crocheting/knitting if that’s your thing.
feel better soon!
