    I always lay in bed and play Minecraft when I’m sick. I didn’t grow up with Minecraft, and I really don’t understand the intricacies of it, but a few years ago I had pneumonia and Minecraft was the only game I could figure out through the brain fog. To this day I always pick it back up and start a new game whenever I’m under the weather. It’s just so peaceful and charming. It cheers me up right away.

      If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.

    Mint tea and thin mint Girl Scout cookies… I don’t really either at any other time, but if I’m under the weather, nothing sounds good to eat. I do my best to drink water and stay hydrated, but guzzling water all day when I do t feel good is a chore. So I’ll have tea and cookies instead.

    I’m so habituated that it’s frequently when I realize that I AM sick, because I’ll find myself looking in the cupboard for thin mints.

    Sleep. The second I start feeling under the weather I adjust to get as much sleep as possible immediately. It absolutely reduces the time needed to recover.

    Watch Star Trek in bed. Or more realistically listen to Star Trek as my eyes will be closed.
