Time Out

Van Gogh's Bedroom

Have you ever wished for illness or injury just serious enough that you could stay in bed for the day?  This is shameful, but I have at times found myself daydreaming of incapacitation.  I'll be walking across the plaza to my office and all of a sudden I imagine myself falling and inflicting some sort of temporary harm that would require strict bed rest for a week or so.

And then I count my blessings and press forward.  

Yesterday, I woke up feeling so sick I honestly couldn't function.  That pretty much never happens to me.  I have to admit that I enjoyed it {at least slightly} despite my misery.  Yes, I was a tad happy.  My children brought their projects into my room and played and made messes all around me, while I did my best to contain my germs.

Do you ever just stay in bed?  Or, like me, do you mostly just dream of the luxury?
