Oddly enough, video games. Which I pretty much never play if I feel fine. But they occupy my brain without making me think too much, and allow for easy reach of chicken soup and cherry 7-Up.
Hot lemon drink for respiratory issues, ginger ale for the stomach and multivitamins for everything else as I let my own personal coma take care of everything else.
At the moment, I am sipping cinnamon apple tea and feeling deeply, deeply grateful that we're not leaving today until close to check-out time. Thank. God. (i am currently hating on being a girl with the fire of a thousand supernovas.)
Hopefully I can eat something soon. :| All these stupidly late dinners are turning my stomach against me, I think (I can't help it! I don't drive! I'm not the genius who forced me to wait until a little after nine to eat!)
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT I AM RETURNING HOME TOMORROW.
Also, it totally just occured to me last night that Alex has a bandage on his wrist at the end of Skeleton Key. I fully expect and encourage someone to all-but-tackle the super-depressed fourteen-year-old inna bar and drag him off to an amusement park or something to give him the YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR! speech.
I second that. I am almost surprised that I am not the only one. Seriously, when I had the cold from Hell a month or so ago, that's what i did MST3K and the living room couch.
Orange juice, if I have a sore throat; it makes me feel a lot better. Other than that, curl up with a comfort book (usually Enchanted Forest Chronicles, though next time around I might put Percy Jackson to the test) and/or a pretty movie (Fellowship of the Ring, when I was in high school).
I crash on my couch with iced Gatorade and, if the situation calls for it, a cold compress for my forehead/eyes. If someone's around who really loves me, they'll pick up some wonton soup for me, too. (Somehow that's my go-to sick soup instead of chicken.) And I either play video games (apparently Final Fantasy IV) or watch something I've seen a million times (usually during the compress situation), depending on how well I feel.
You know that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Cameron is cocooned in blankets? Yeah that's what I like to do...except I'm a parent and sick days for me end up being play with the kids since it's really a vacation day from work right?
ETA: Speaking of Ferris, I need to listen to that soundtrack today.
Watch sentimental movies and re-read books I know and love. Especially when I'm on the mend from a cold/flu, I have this stage where I am very soppy and ready to bawl over stuff, and I take advantage of that to watch 'Titanic' or suchlike fare and bawl my eyes out at the end.
That makes me feel better. Catharsis, they call it?

Or, if I can't sleep, bundle up on my couch and play video games. Usually something immersive and story-focused.
