What's your favorite thing about being sick?

My favourite thing about being sick is just about anyone's I think - I don't have to get up early.

Ok, so I don't have to get up early anyway. My work day starts at 3 usually, since I teach in an enrichment school and the kids don't come in until after their regular schoolday. But I sleep at about 6. So I still have about the same number of hours of sleep as most regular people. My schedule is a little wonky, that's all. When I fall ill, I get to sleep in. And I mean, really sleep in. I don't have to feel like I have to wake up at a certain time. I'll wake up when I feel like it.

Plus, it's a perfectly legitimate excuse not to do anything but slack around like a, well, a slacker. That is a joy that's just beyond comparison. People seem to need to do things in a rush, keep every hour occupied because if not, it's like a great big sin or something. This obsession with keeping time just isn't working for me. I hate it. I just want to skive. Why can't we just learn to enjoy life 'as is'?
