Sick Day Checklist

Written By Calvin Sharpe

I’ve been a little under the weather for much of the last week, so I’ve been thinking a lot about what I need whenever I’m sick. These include, but are not limited to…

  • At least one very soft blanket

  • NyQuil

  • Nintendo Switch

  • Hot chocolate

  • Nachos with just so many jalapeños (I go to Moe’s and ask for as many as they’re allowed to give me)

  • Did I say NyQuil? I cherish every day that I don’t need it, but whatever helps me sleep through the night, you know?

  • A good book (just finished a re-read of The Fireman by Joe Hill)

  • Costco-sized tissue packs

  • Delivery food

  • DayQuil

    Look, I don’t like conforming to the “man cold” stereotype, but I gotta have what I gotta have. I also milk the excuse that “I’m siiiiiiiiick.” Putting up Christmas lights? Healthy Calvin can deal with that.
