So what do you read when you're not feeling well? |
|
My stomach won't calm down long enough for me to go to sleep but I don't feel like sitting up for too long at one time either. So I've been mostly laying on the couch reading. Got through a book printed back in 1980 about the state of the resisitence in Afghanistan and another written in the mid-70s on gender relations in the Muslim world focusing on Morocco as a case study. I usually find non-fiction like that fascinating...usually...but it's just not holding my attention today. And there's a long long afternoon staring me in the face.
Any suggestions on what to do to occupy my brain today would be greatly appreciated.

2. Holy crap Velma, those are some seriously deep books! |
|
You need a romance novel, full of good old-fashioned sex! That'll take your mind off your stomach ache!

5. The inside of my eyelids |

I usually try to nap things off. Even if I don't get any actual sleep, I end up feeling better anyway. Drinking Pepto out of the bottle is not out of the question for a seriously upset stomach.

my momma would be so disappointed in my lack of manners, but oh well. It works and I don't have to wash a spoon.

or intrepid heros and heroines comitting brave but unsung deeds behind Nazi lines during WWII. For some reason nothing is holding my interest today. :shrug:

But with the upset tummy. Right now I am reading Pegasus Bridge by Stephen Ambrose. Abotu the 6th Airborne Division and the coup de main that they performed before the start of D-Day. It is a pretty good book.

14. magazines; or a reread of something I have read before |
|
reduces the level of concentration needed.
Humor is good when you are sick. I like the "Cat Who" books for extremely light fiction.
