When I get the flu, I get it hard. Last time I had it was March 2012. It lasted three weeks and I got it on the first day of starting a new job and there was no way in hell in was going to take a day off, even though I am certain I ought to have been hospital-ridden.

I sleep lots, take inappropriate amounts of Airborne, cough drops, cough and sinus relief fluids, ibuprofen and some other aid that is orange that I can't remember (instructions be damned) and lots of hot lemon tea. I tend to watch Disney movies more often when I get sick, too, though this is unrelated to getting me well.

I used to lie on the bathroom floor when I got sick as a kid because it was a cool surface.
