Well, this past week seemed like the longest week of my life. Our home got hit with the flu – hard. It was awful and I am so happy to be typing this currently coming out the other side of it. I was so tired and run down that my brain could barely function. The only thing I could do was lay in bed and watch TV.
While that may sound amazing (and at first I really tried to just enjoy that since it is a rarity for me to just be still and do nothing,) but after the first couple of days, I was so restless and just wanted to be back in my office where I am currently typing this.
So while in my misery I got in a LOT of TV/Movie time and I thought it’s time to come up with a handy list of shows to watch while you are under the weather. I really tend to enjoy uplifting programming in my everyday life, but especially while I was sick. I just wanted something cheerful that would help take my mind off of just how awful I was feeling.
