🌸 Tag Game Wednesday, but It's Sunday 🌸
Thank you for the tag, @burninface @palepinkgoat & @guinguin1984
Oh! We're talking about being sick today? Alrighty, then, let's go...
My living room couch. Work tomorrow, and I spent the day doing food prep for the week, so I'll just chillin' out.
40s. I was starting to feel old, but then I read a Reddit post written by a 71 year-old fic fan; guess I'm not that old after all.
Are you sick right now with a cold, flu or other non-life-threatening but deeply obnoxious illness:
Not sick right now, but I had a fucked up migraine yesterday that stalled me out for most of the day. I think the worst part of migraines is the migraine hangover afterwards.
When you’re sick are you a get-up-and-just-work-through-it kinda person or a lie-in-bed-and-moan-loudly-and-not-move kinda person?
I've got a stupidly good immune system, so I don't get sick often. BUT, when I do get sick, it usually knocks me on my ass. Like, I get super tired & have to lie down. My family always tries to offer me stuff, but all I need is sleep & rest, so I'm not usually a fussy sick person. Of course, I don't stay sick for very long. I think the last time I got actually-really sick was last summer & it lasted 3 days total. I was only really bad for two of those days. Ok, so that was a very long-winded was of saying that I don't get sick, I get tired & I'm not an annoying sick person.
What’s your ultimate comfort drink when you’re under the weather:
Are there any superstitions or things you do that you believe will make you get better faster?
Ugh, coming from a very traditional family, I've got many superstitions. Add to that, I worked at a health food store. Lol. Yeah, that's a lot to unpack. 😅 I don't follow any of my old superstitions anymore; how I, it's fun as fuck to remember them. One of them had to do with the weather –apparently, going out in certain weather makes you sick.
Do you take vitamin C or any other herbal remedies or do you think that’s all non-scientific nonsense?
Always vitamin C. Sometimes echinacea. Always herbal teas.
When you were young and got to stay home from school what was your favourite show to watch (or thing to do whatever)?
Oof, let's see. I used to watch all the game shows. Price is Right. Card Sharks. Press Your Luck. Wheel of Fortune. Plus, all the scandalous talk shows! Also, I would try to watch soap operas, but they never held my interest.
Is there a secret favourite part you have to being sick?
Oh, it's not a secret, I LOVE the part of being sick that lets me stay in bed for a day. It's boring & indulgent & I love it. As part of my nature, I don't often get the chance to just be lazy. Getting sick is the ultimate permission.
Who do you think would be the worst patient? Ian or Mickey?
Hmm, I really think it depends on the situation. If it's a terminal illness, I think it doesn't matter which one is ill. In this scenario, they'd both be strong so the other would have less to stress out about.
If it's a common cold or flu, I think Mickey would be the worst patient ever. He'd fight admitting he's sick until the very bitter end. And even then, he'd only let Ian tend to him after many threats & ultimatums.
In the case of a chronic but non-lethal illness, like autoimmune issues or diabetes, Ian would totally be the worst patient. He'd claim that he had everything under control & that he's doing all the "right things" to keep himself healthy. That is until he goes for a check up, which Mickey insists on attending, and the lab results show that he's not doing enough to stay healthy. Of fucking course, the ride back home is FULL of dirty looks and snide comments from Mickey. 😂🤣 Eventually, Ian gives in & promises to let Mickey help him stay healthy.
Tagging nobody 'cause I'm so late. If anyone wants to play, please join in! 🤗
