4. Dr McDougall's soup cups, the "chicken" flavor. Hot baths. Sleeping.
When I start to feel better, then what he said.

5. Miniseries marathons
I prefer the eight-hour Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth (mmm...) or six-hour Sex, Chips, and Rock 'n' Roll. YMMV, but whatever miniseries you choose, it must be viewed nonstop all day. Breaks for naps are allowed depending on the severity of the illness, of course.
