I don't know about anyone else, but I love the way I feel right after being sick. That first real meal tastes so good, that first showering feels so refreshing, and the whole being up and out thing feels fresh and new. It probably has more to do with being in bed while being sick, than actually being sick. You've been in bed for so long that getting back into the swing of things feels even better than usual.
Well, I can say I'm totally over the cold or whatever I had. I got an amazing night's sleep (Nyquil, it works wonders) and work up and had the best bowl of Froot Loops ever. Got to linguistics class early and re-read the chapter, which led me to acing the pop quiz we had. After class I went to McDonalds and now I just got back. I'm eating some delicious Teddy Grahams and washing them down with a glass of orange soda as I type. (And I wonder why I get sick....haha.) I have the whole rest of the day to work on schoolwork for dead week. Since I got so much rest lately, I feel energized to work on it.
So thank God for the occasional cold bug!
I'm a fan of putting a new pillowcase on my pillow when I'm sick. It always feels so much better than the old one for some reason. But I agree, those first "well" days are kind of a nice boost of energy :)
