Morning all

I feel a bit poorly today, so my question today is

How do you make yourself feel better when your feeling pretty rubbish?

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
I park myself on the couch and lounge around with the dogs and cats if they are feeling frisky and come out to the living room. Sometimes Ive even gone as far and to take a nap in the catroom on the floor with the cats.

I play my guitar and sing. It makes me feel better. Not sure how it makes everyone else around feel.

it depends on what kind of rubbish I am feeling!
If I am just feeling kind sad or down in the dumps I will usually buy myself something, either a new outfit, or new jewelry, or some flowers.
If Im feeling too sick to get out than I will find one of my favorite movies or tv shows and watch it and curl up on the couch with my favorite blankie and eat little things that make me happy (like oreos
)

If it is the rubbish I am feeling right now, I take drugs and when the antihistamine kicks in, I move to the couch and snooze. There is some pollen flying around again and it is something that makes me sneeze and gives me itchy eyes. Other feeling rubbish, I manage much easier.

Drink lots of water, eat only highest-quality fresh foods, take vitamins, keep a schedule of any meds (so I'll take them on time), and play video games or read to make myself sit down and rest. When I feel sleepy I stop everything and take a nap right then.

I find I perk up when I am outside. Go for a walk around the property. Breathe deep and if it's a nice day, just look up at the clouds for a bit. Talk to my kitties, sip a good cup of coffee on the porch. Talk to my kitties, call one of my daughters...talk to my kitties.

I see a pattern here.....

I sack on the couch and let husband have the bedroom when I don't feel good. That way I'm closer to the bathroom and don't have to wake him up.

Also, Linus used to take care of me when I was sick, but since he's gone I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. It's strange how much one cat can change your whole entire world, and then when they are gone, how much it changes your whole entire world even more. You can't go back to being the person you were before you knew them.
