being sick is no fun. i don't recommend it.

However, if it's unavoidable, there are ways of passing the time. Say, hypothetically, if one were to have somehow very recently obtained a few DVDs of favorite childhood television cartoons, hypothetically, one might sit on one's bed and watch them and smile at how one's childhood self could have been so thoroughly mesmerized by Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, or Thundarr the Barbarian.

...while still enjoying them, even now, in a cozy sort of way.
