There is nothing worse than being sick in the summer. The sun is shinning, the weather is warm and the days are long. The last thing one wants to do is to stay inside. Being sick in the winter is one thing. It's cold and dreary anyway, so staying inside is no big deal. Curling up with a nice cup of tea and a good movie sounds nice and relaxing. When the sun is shining and the weather is warm though, you want to be outside and active, not stuck in bed. Unfortunately though, the common cold does not care whether it is winter or summer, and the sickness will get you no matter what!

A big bummer about being sick on a summer weekend day is the lack of television shows available. Even the television wants you to be outside when it's nice out! Thank goodness for Netflix, DVR and dvd's. There is really nothing worse than having absolutely nothing to watch while you are stuck inside all day doing nothing.

Instead of eating ice cream, burgers and drinking lemonade, it's soup, crackers and tea. When sick, your body does not care that it's 80 degrees and sunny with a gentle breeze, which is perfect weather for going to the beach, a bike ride, picnic or walk! You get stuck inside all day. If you are lucky, you can crack a window and get a little bit of that breeze and sunshine to help speed up the healing process.

At least there are not any classes to get to or work to make up. All of your time can be spent healing and getting better though. Hopefully the summer sickness does not hang around too long, and then you can get out into that sunshine again.
