I have two small children—who, to be fair, get sick far less often than average, but still— and getting sick used to bum me out so much.
Then I created the mantra: Sick Days Are Reading Days, and whenever I feel that sandpapery throat, I become almost giddy.
Fun fact: In Spanish, when we feel we're coming down with something, we say "estoy incubando algo," which literally means "I'm incubating something," like a chicken sitting patiently on its viruses.
I recently realized that the only books I read last year, I read while sick. It feels so luxurious to stay home from work while the kids are at daycare even if I’m dying lol.
Thanks for the mention, Amber!

I’m officially making “Sick Days Are Reading Days” my motto from now on 😁
Mugs should be made. Just saying.
