How to be happy when you're sick

1) Have a fantastic day and evening on the day-prior-to-sickness.
2) Wake up feeling totally miserable but secure in the knowledge that your spouse is going to make sure you don't die.
3) Sleep. A lot. Like 20 hours out of 24.
4) Wake up day 2 feeling marginally less miserable but secure in the knowledge that your spouse is going to make sure you don't die (and will make you soup when asked nicely).
5) Realize that work things are not so urgent that they can't wait until Monday.
6) Rest, hydrate, geek a bit, and appreciate the love of spouse and kitties, who only want you to feel better.
