I have been stuck in bed for over two weeks now, and while Lois and everybody is being really wonderful, I am board!
So, here are 34 things to keep you busy when stuck in bed!
- Catchup on your reading
- Surf the net
- Catchup on your newsfeeds
- Phone all your friends
- Cleanup your mailbox
- Download and play with virtual lego
- Arrange your MP3 collection and create new playlists
- Try to understand what the globs on your MRI scan actually mean
- Create lists of things to do when stuck in bed
- Check your e-mail about 100x per day in case anything interesting has happened since the last time you checked
- Change the colour scheme on your computer
- Figure out if downloading the 3gig installation for the trial version of Warcraft is really worth it
- Read more books
- Play online tetris
- Google everybody you know
- Play on Facebook
- Play on LinkedIn
- Create Christmas Shopping Lists
- Research every medical procedure known to man – just in case
- Write aimless blog posts
- Update the layout of your website
- E-mail all your friends
- Stare out of the window
- Google your doctor
- Shout at the cat for "bathing" on the bed
- Read even more books
- Wonder which book to read next because by now you have read all the good ones
- Cleanp your desktop (on your pc)
- Sleep
- Play every game that came free with your computer, and realise why they are free
- Defrag your harddrive
- Read even more books…
- Google your pets
- Order warcraft online because the download is too big
What have I missed, I am sure I will be adding to this list shortly…?
Watch out for the next installment of this exciting drama – alternative treatments recommended to me (by non-experts) for a slipped disc!
WHAT IF U R A 10 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING IN BED BECAUSE SHE IS LOKING ON THE WORST WEB SIGHT YET @ DONT THINK ABOUGHT SENDING ME A EMAIL ABOUT IT SO U CAN TRY TO PUT A SECTON FOR 7-13 SO DO IT @ I WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT UR WEB SIGHT IN A GOOD WAY :-) :-)
so agree
i wanted to thank u for this it was really made me laugh. I had ankle surgery last week and will be stuck in bed for another week and then stuck in the house for about another 4 week because of a cast. I’ve already done a lot of the things on ur list plus facebook stalk people (lol). my two favorite are googling everyone you know and looking up every medical procedure. So again, thanks for giving me a good laugh.
Thanks Lynette. These things are very frustrating, and sometimes all you can do is to laugh at the situation.
this was a bad website for a 11 year old to look at
I don’t understand, why is this a bad website for an 11 year old to look at? This site should be family-friendly so if you think it is not please clarify?
The best thing is read books I think
Yes that as well, I read many books when I was in bed for a couple of months.
Ahhhhhhh, I’m still bored, thanks for giving me ideas…
Pleasure, hope you toe comes right soon :-)
I can’t do any of this
