Sleep, read junky magazines, maybe watch a movie if you're so inclined. Call your friends, surf the internet, write a letter. If you feel up to it, pull out a drawer and organize it while you lie on the couch--you won't be bored and you'll accomplish something at the same time. Maybe make a To Do list for when you feel better. Or dream up other lists--places you'd like to visit someday, books you'd like to read, movies you'd like to see, activities you'd like to try, etc. Give yourself a manicure or pedicure or facial. Take a long, steamy bath or shower. Draw or doodle. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, treat the day as a mini-vacation from your usual responsibilities. Hope you feel better soon!

if you are concerned about the crazy rule that you can't stay home more than 5 days when you are sick, then check out Ron Paul's campaign. He questions why government gets involved with such personal details in the lives of American citizens and has been working to change that.

Lots of rest is the key. You may find you need 12 hours of sleep each night, so don't set that alarm. You'll be most comfortable in a warm, humid environment. It's also important to drink lots of water. This makes mucus flow more freely and helps with congestion.

Drink lots of tea w/honey and water (to flush out bacteria). Watch some funny dvd's or whatever genre you enjoy. And sleep a lot.

Rest, drink lots of fluids. Eat things easy on your stomach. Some people think chicken soup helps.

Take some tylenol or motrin, sleep, drink plenty of fluids, eat what you can, watch movies, and read.
Feel better, sucks to be sick.
