I am the annoying great-aunt-type who "doesn't want to be a bother" when she's sick.
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!
Unrelatedly, Ativan floaty, yay.
. I haven't ever really had anyone around who would help when I was sick, anyway, so I just stoic it out.
Zenkitty is me.

That does sound quite tasty.
Only 1.5 more days of school! Whee!!!!
This exactly. I must say, for all my whining during this cold, the SO has been a saint, despite being somewhat sick himself. He cooks for me and cleans and makes sure I have a full carafe of water and remembers when I last took the Robitussin so my drug-addled self doesn`t OD. And he moved the tv into the bedroom so I could watch hockey, depriving the rest of the household of it. And he chased me out into the sunroom once I was on the mend so he could strip the bed and detoxify the room and I love him.
Went to the library with a sob story and they forgave half my fines! And taught me how to renew online and pay my fees at the kiosk. Handy. But! I made it out! today, so so far so good. Got seriously coughy leaving the library so did not make it to Kmart for OPI. If I can rest now and make it to rehearsal tonight I think I`ll be golden. No actual work done, but I got all the stuff I need to go back to work tomorrow.
