Being sick

I think the worst thing about being sick is being reminded that you're SICK. You get the best sleep of your life, but then you wake up with congestion, a headache, dry eyes, CRUSTY eyes, burning nostrils, and your voice dropping a thousand octaves lower. Then you feel hungry, but you're also nauseous?? 

Not only that, but you have to take the nastiest medicine (it's rare to ever find the good tasting ones.) just for it to barely work for the next 3-4 days. Not only that, I can't STAND being in bed all day. I'm stuck under my blankets with medicine, tissues, a bunch of hand sanitizer, and cold water I'll forget to drink until my throat is dry and shriveled up like a grape in the Sahara in July. That, and jeez, the aftertaste of this medicine is KILLING me. :(
