Recovery Proclamation.
Dec. 19th, 2013 05:30 pmWhen you are sick, life tends to run in slow motion. Hours can feel like days, people seem to be more annoying and when you think you have reached the lowest level or tiredness, some-one pulls a lever and opens a trapdoor beneath your feet and you plummet to a whole new level of exhaustion.
There are benefits however, albeit only a few... You can catch up on the books you have been neglecting to read, you can plan on being hyper-productive when you are feeling better again (but simultaneously knowing that you will find another excuse not to be motivated when you are). You can re-watch old TV shows and analyse/insert your very own subtext. You can attempt sleep and drink whiskey for 'health' benefits. You can give yourself permission to be bitter and angry about the world because you are feeling crappy and people can not argue with you because if they do you will remind them of your chronic suffering. It's not much, but all-in-all there are some redeeming perks of having a cold!
