nonethefewer: (advice)
I am full of lists.  When I can feel myself getting sick:

[sleep]
* Try to go to bed an hour earlier than usual.  Don't push it, but.
* Don't overexert myself.  (I failed this today, in that I walked a lot.)

[food]
* Eat lots of good, boring food.  Make sure to stay on the full side of things.  (I am usually not, so.)
* Buy soup or other easy-to-make things.  Hell, buy chicken broth and put it in a thermos, if need be.

[water]
* Make tea.  (Today's was one of Gypsy Cold Care, one of Organic Echinacea, and a dash of red peppers.  Nothing special, but the red peppers felt really nice.)
* Drink tons of water.  See also "tea".

[meds &c]
* Take a multivitamin.
* Make sure I have NyQuil.
* Buy tissues or stock up on toilet paper.

[other]
* Clean my room up a bit, as I'll have no energy for it later, and tidiness helps immensely.
* If I'm living with someone, warn them.  Same if I've spent close time with someone in the past couple of days.
* Do a load of laundry.
* Take a stupendously hot shower.

I'm good at lists.

What do you do when you can feel yourself getting sick?
nonethefewer: (determination)
Today has turned out to be a day, much like days tend to be, that being, units of time.

I've had a bad headache for most of it, because I fell into the trap of weekend sleep == sleeping in.  This is objectively incorrect.

But, I followed my list, and I am feeling better.  (Caffeine, water, food, shower, no music, painkiller, and sleep if I must.)  I like lists, sometimes.

Today, I'll be trying out cooking sausage and sprouts together.  I may make something on the side, but doubtful.  Fried in butter, because mmm.  Further input welcome, but I think I should do fine.
