Top 10 List for When You are *Temporarily* Confined to Your Apartment/House

10. Update Your Facebook Status as often as you can stand with creative ways of saying "I'm sick, feel terribly awful and stuck at home, oh and by the way I'm bored. Please feel sorry for me."

9. Try to sleep (when your cough allows it)

8. Text your friends and family who are not always on facebook to see what they are up to. And, to let them know that you are still sick, still bored, and still want their sympathy.

7. Watch the Morning News, the Noon News, the Evening News, and the 10 o'clock News. Take Notes. Compare the notes to see if they're all keeping their stories straight (and if the weather changed its mind for tomorrow or the weekend)

6. Since your stomach feels yucky and nothing sounds good. Eat lots of Jell-O. But, only when you have to eat. See how many interesting kinds of Jell-O you can create and keep track of your weight to see if you could create a so-called "Jell-O Diet".

5. List semi-high ticket items on eBay. And by semi-high ticket I mean, $5 or more because anything more than $5 probably wouldn't do well at a yard sale. Unless, it's much to big to ship. Then, it very well may do well at a yard sale.

4. Check the mail *at least* TWICE a day to make sure the outdoors still exists. Also, to get some fresh air and to get some exercise while checking the mail. Once in the morning to see if the mail man was early and then once in the afternoon to see if you really just *didn't* get any mail.

3. Update Your Blog with random nonsense.

2. Price stuff for your upcoming yard sale.

1. Check your sister-in-law's blog and smile while looking at all the cute pictures of your nephew! (And, enjoy reading random stuff that your sister-in-law writes about because it makes you feel like you're both pretty normal)
