My writing today is not really whimsical at all. I'm sick with the flu. Between chills there are flashes of sweating. I have a screeching cough and I just feel sorry for myself. Poor me! Here is a list of things to survive illness:
- Don't watch depressing television where everyone's lives fall apart
- Don't read books with complicated plots that expect you to remember who did what
- Do open the windows and doors for a few minutes to change the air
- If you drink 6-8 cups of herbal tea re-use the bags
- Change your sheets
- Think back on how efficient and amazing you are when you are well
- Thank your friend when they offer to bring you more Tylenol and soup
- Remember that nothing ever stays the same
I am joining Ann Dee Ellis and other writers in using a prompt to record memoir moments. If you don't write your story, who will?
Sorry you're not feeling well- that's no fun. I like your tips and hope you feel better soon!
