Pros and Cons of Being Sick

Cons

• You feel like your throat and your ears drums are about to explode every minute of every day.
• Eating becomes a necessary evil.
• You have to chug a glass of Alka-Seltzer Cold Medicine every few hours.
• Each sniff or swallow produces searing pains throughout your brain.
• You walk around in a daze because you are simply not capable of any serious brain activity.

Pros

• After getting off work, you feel completely justified laying on your bed for the rest of the evening, putting in movie after movie until you fall asleep at 8:35 PM.
• In a medicine-induced stupor, you come up with amazing ideas for novels.  (I plan on publishing two books by the end of this year, as a result.)
• You feel okay about putting off doing your homework or exercising because too much mental or physical exertion is detrimental to your already unstable health.
