Do you ever find yourself reading on days when you stay home sick? Why or why not?
This past week, my allergies have been on a war path which I believe has been due to the weather getting warmer and everything has been blooming. I haven’t missed any time from work due to my allergies throwing a fit but I haven’t felt great either. When I come home, I’ll take a nice hot shower and then collapse on the couch where I’ll remain until time to go to bed. I haven’t really been doing anything once I get home other than absorbing the book I’m currently reading. What little energy I have, I’ve been spending it at work and that leaves me with no energy once I return home.
Whether I’m reading or not, that depends on how bad I feel. There are some days that I’m just laying in bed and resting. That’s pretty bad for me to not have enough energy to hold a book up to my face enough for me to read. A lot of the time, if I don’t have the energy to get out of bed then reading is usually the only thing I have energy. I might have to read for a little bit, lay down and nap, then read for a little bit, then lay down for another nap. It all depends on just how sick I am.
Sorry about your allergies!
I do read when I am sick, but only up to a certain point (sometimes my head hurts too much to read! Or I just don’t have enough energy). I sometimes listen to podcasts or watch something to keep me entertained.

That’s kind of me. I do read when I am sick but up to a certain point. Once I feel too tired to read, then I’ll put my book down and take a nap. Once I feel a little rested again then I can return to my book. It all depends on how sick I feel.

If I am not experiencing any physical and mental pain in my sickness, I can read an entire book. However, if I have some kind of discomfort, I cannot concentrate on books. In a situation like this, I always choose a light-hearted book.

Yes, it always depends on just how sick you are. If I’m still able to read while I’m sick, I normally just continue with whatever book I’m currently reading.

When I feel sickness I just can’t read. I also can’t look at the computer screen for hours. I just make sure to take rest and move onto other things. I feel reading only when the mood is good otherwise it becomes harder.

If I’m too bad sick, I can’t read. It depends on how bad sick I am whether I can read or not.
