but I have to say that I find flu!Jilli very entertaining.
That's because you aren't around for the whining like a toddler parts. Or the staring off blankly into space trying to finish a sentence parts.
(Still totes want a tiny crazycakes vampire in a cage, tho'. Haven't changed my mind about that.)
Jilli, last time I felt sick, I burst into tears and announced "I am so nice to you when you are sick, and I just....WWWAA--WAAANT a GGGLL-GGLLAAS of WA- WWAA-- WWATER!"
I get the toddler. (And I got several glasses of water, and the house swept, and the dishes done. Nice husband.)
I am the annoying great-aunt-type who "doesn't want to be a bother" when she's sick. I haven't ever really had anyone around who would help when I was sick, anyway, so I just stoic it out.

POOR CHARLOTTE! (Sorry, automatically went to a Room with a View place) (of course she was actually super passive aggressive and I'm not accusing you of that at all)
I whine but generally end up taking care of myself b/c there is generally no one else.
Oh, no, that's all right, I'll just lie here and cough quietly, you don't have to bring me any water! You just relax and watch your stories, I'll be fine over here in this pile of dirty tissues.
I am used to taking care of myself, and I am super-independent, but damn, I AM Super Nice Nurse Erin if he doesn't feel good, and I just flipped out with the feeling crappy.
You get married SO someone will get you medicine and tea when you are sick, right? I spent too many years dragging my sick ass to the drugstore with aches and chills.

Hell, yes. I sex him up real good AND make his lunches for work, so he damn well is going to get me oj and soup!
I want my mom when I'm sick. I feel guilty if anyone else has to take care of me but if mom drives over an hour to bring me soup and a cold compress that's OK.
I'm having coconut tea and a coconut donut. There's a joke in there somewhere but mostly it's just tasty.

Yes. And take-out Mexican food. And coffee. And who will automatically bring Clovis to me and say "What trashy vampire movie do you want to watch?"
That's - dare I say it - ADORABLE!
