Strep throat is not my idea of a good time. It really changes one’s plans. I do not have time to get sick. I can’t go in to work for two days. As a teacher, being out of the classroom is often harder than going in even when you are sick. Writing sub plans is time consuming but because I was contagious for the first 24 hours going to school wasn’t even a possibility. On top of that all my other plans have been canceled: no backpacking this weekend, no movie about grassroots projects, no dinner after work with friends.
Although being sick isn’t always fun, there are some perks:
1)Pajamas-you have a real reason to wear them ALL DAY!
2)T.V.-Catch up on old episodes of your favorite shows
3)No dish duty-Remember,you’re sick. It would be a bad idea to breathe all over the dirty dishes,right?
4)Comfort food-You get to eat whatever makes you feel better, whether it is soup or popsicles.
What are some other perks to being sick?

Getting sick for me, like a sniffly nose, stomach problems, sore throats, and a fever isn’t fun for me either! All I can do is be in bed, that’s not fun either!

I like how you ended your blog with a question. One fun thing is playing on electronics.

When I am sick I love catching up on shows and watching classic Disney movies. Those are the best part of being sick!

Very good way of asking the reader a question to think of. And adding a list. Plus my favorite perk is being able to boss people around and sleep all day.
