A few days ago my sister compared me to the princess, Rapunzel. 🙂 Who doesn’t want to be compared to a princess?! However, there was more to that comparison than you’d first think. She said, “You have long hair, etc., … and you’re stuck in our house all the time.”. Just like Rapunzel in her tower.
Hmmm… Interesting. I’d never thought of it like that. She was right, though.
I’ve spent months in bed, and still frequently spend days in bed. When I’m up and about, however, I still rarely leave the house, since it’s hard to find places to go without mold or chemicals.
I’m sure you know what I mean. 🙂
And bed (or being stuck at home), can be rather boring after a while, can’t it? So what to do? 🙂
What to do:
- Read a book – If you need suggestions, go look the My Favorite Things page.
- Watch a movie – Same as above, go here.
- Knit – Or really any other craft, they tend to take less energy than other activities.
- Call the friend you need to catch up with
- Write notes of encouragement
- Pray
- Memorize scripture
What about you? Do you have any other ideas of what to do stuck in the house or stuck in bed that you have found?
These are great activities, and I definitely utilize all of them (well–except for knitting, seeing as I don’t know how XD). This is where I’m grateful that I do school online, because I can do school even when I’m in bed unable to walk. I also really love writing stories, and I write devotionals for a few websites regularly, so I do that!
Yes, I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t do school from home! I’m so thankful we were already doing that before this all started. 😉 Yes, writing! I was really tempted to add that, since it’s definitely something I do stuck in bed all the time, but I figured that not *everyone* enjoys writing quite as much as I do. 🙂 But, I agree!
My main thing is knitting while watching movies…it’s actually been awhile, come to think of it, that I felt so bad to go to bed during the day. Since I couldn’t read (focus/brain fog issues), I generally just watched old black and white movies off YouTube. I found I even got tired of that. However, reading is back on the table…so yay! 🙂
* happy dance * Progress is really good! I’m so happy for you! 🙂
