When you have the flu, there really isn’t much more to do than sit around and wait for it to get better. Since you probably have trouble sleeping, due to coughing and other fun symptoms, you have even more time, sitting around, doing nothing.

Here is a small list of activities to fill this miserable time.

1. Paint your nails.

Even I was able to (mostly) paint on my nails and not just on the skin around them, and my hand-eye coordination is pretty messed up right now. Since you probably won’t be leaving the house for a few days, try something you might not wear normally, like multi colored glitter on bright pink. (Just as an example.)

2. Try a new hairdo

Like this one by the amazing Jane Marie from the Hairpin.

Again, since you probably won’t be leaving the house for a while.

3. Collage
