If I feel like complete and utter death I tend to take Nyquil (no idea what the outside of the States equivalent will be, here Nyquil is an anti-cough/pain reliever syrup that contains a small bit of alcohol) and watch television until I'm able to fall asleep. I also drink massive amounts of tea and moan a bit. <br /><br />2. I am a part of a great books group during the school year, and we decided to do a bit of reading over the summer. It isn't amazing, but Wittgenstein isn't terrible to read. I haven't watched anything amazing on tv lately, mostly my basic Law & Order type shows. <br /><br />3. I don't like them, never have, but have managed to out-logic myself. I have accepted the fact that if I want to feel better/remain healthy I have to allow myself shots and bloodwork. If I am afraid to have it done, I will be tense and it will hurt more than it normally would, but I will still have to have it done. I have gotten to the point of where I just think "it will be over in X minutes, and then I will just have to wait to find out what is wrong with me." It seems to make the problem seem smaller.<br /><br />I hope you feel better! Glandular fever does not sound fun at all. If it gives you any sort of hope though... I had something for a week and a half or so that my doctors thought might be glandular fever, but turned out to just be a virus that had to run its course. I woke up one morning feeling a million times better, and I will hope the same for you!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234018955991288723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123881308570553564.post-83224373010326512722011-06-21T20:22:08.474+01:002011-06-21T20:22:08.474+01:00Aww I'm so so sorry!

I wrap up in a duvet and just spend the whole day watching rubbish telly and drinking hot ribena with lemon.<br />I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird and Book 2 of Song of Ice and Fire simultaneously. I'm looking forward to watching Luther tonight.<br />I'm very scared of needles. I had to have a blood test a few months ago and nearly fainted. My Mum went with me and I buried my head in her while it was happening.

It's really funny, but tricky reading the Scottish accents.<br />3) I had a phase of being too scared of needles to consent to them, but I don't mind these days... my trick is not to look at what they're doing!Ruthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625274493568826931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123881308570553564.post-1210715252742378532011-06-21T12:29:54.937+01:002011-06-21T12:29:54.937+01:001) I usually sit and have a blog catch up and watc...1) I usually sit and have a blog catch up and watch Loose Women. <br />2) Any Sophie Kinsella books will keep you busy :)<br />3) I'm absolutely crap with needles.

And I'll answer...I hope you get better soon! D:<br />And I'll answer your questions:<br /><br />1. When I'm ill I tend to read or play video games (and grumble lots about being ill :P)<br /><br />2. I just finished reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha', it took me a while since it's a long book but I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />3. I used to be a little bit but got over the fear after having lots of blood tests and some tattoos :) My boyfriend hates them though!<br /><br />xxxWhimsical Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768488865373156972noreply@blogger.com
