Y'all, seriously, I had that stomach bug my son had and for 2 days I was like death. It was awful! Today I'm feeling better and it's like "It's Alive!" Only because I know I still LOOK like death, so it's a surprise to everyone. Now I'm just praying that hubby and daughter don't get it.

After I started feeling better, I started with this ridiculous smile of relief that even my hubby commented on and I STARTED SINGING AND HUMMING. I still have my chronic back pain, but having the relief of the virus pass by, oh my word, it's like a delicious drink of spring water in a desert.

What do you do when you've been miserable and have been relieved? Do you smile and sing? Or do you do something else?

I am so glad you are back to the land of the living, I heard that bug is NASTY! I usually milk it one extra day and just read and vegetate in my recliner. I think hubby is into me now, though.

Man! I should have done that! LOL I was just glad to be back to be able to scrap!
 
So glad you're better! Both my kids had a horrible stomach bug and thankfully DH and I avoided it. But when I'm finally feeling better, I find myself cleaning. IDK why, but maybe it's due to staring at the walls while sick, so then once I have energy, it makes me want to make my surroundings look nice? Whatever the reason, it's nice to feel better and it's nice to get the house spruced up!
 
Cheryl, glad that you and your son are OVER the crud!! Hubs and I had some terrible bug last year - I ended up missing a whole week of work and seriously felt like I wasn't going to tomorrow ... ! I like clean after I feel better ... and use a lot of Lysol!
 
glad you are feeling better!

I am so pitiful when I am sick...and oh so dramatic. After I get better, I usually laugh at myself for my antics...and then guilty for being sick...lol.
 
YIKES!! Glad you feel better!!

After being sick I take a long hot shower and Lysol all.the.things. LOL!!
 
I believe a good shower can help cure a multitude of ills, so no matter how terrible I feel, into the shower I go. I does usually help!

And Lysol wipes are just a given, right? I felt like I've had one permanently attached to my hand for a couple of weeks now, with first my son and then me.
 
Yuck! So glad you are feeling better and hope it's gone from your house for good!!
There's nothing quite like that feeling when you've been down with something and then start feeling better. I usually smile, dance, and sing while giving everything a good cleaning!
 
Oh Cheryl, I did the same thing after our last big household illness. I was telling everyone the sun was shining brighter & the birds were singing. Lol. I'm glad you feel better.
 
Yay!! So glad you are feeling better!! I also like taking a nice long shower after I finally get over the ickies!!
 
So glad you're feeling better! Stomach bugs are one of my greatest fears.
 
Glad you are feeling better. My hubs got sick first and then progressed into something else that required surgery and 2 weeks off work, then I got the virus almost 2 weeks ago and have been sleeping lots and taking antibiotics. I feel like I'm over the hurdle and starting to feel a bit better but I'm looking forward to having more energy soon. I have spent lots of time watching tv shows and movies and not online as much. Watched almost the whole season of 12 Monkeys yesterday.
 
I usually clean too. In part because the place becomes a total disaster when I'm sick and it just feels so satisfying to get it all picked up. Glad you are feeling better!
 
@gonewiththewind So glad you're feeling better, Cheryl! When you live with chronic pain like we do, anything extra we have to deal with is magnified. When I feel better, I scrap! We do have our priorities, don't we?! :agree
