Free time sick.

I accidentally came upon a really exciting way to stay occupied when you are job-free. You can have a birthday and go out a whole bunch, have tons of fun with your friends and then get really sick and stay in bed for three days. While this isn't awesome for the blog you started, at least you don't have to call in sick! I always hated that feeling of calling your boss and either sounding so sick that you were faking it or not sick enough for it to be believable. Anyway, if you are at home sick and can manage to make some soup, you'll be well fed and still won't have to leave the house.
