My OCD, Philip Semour Hoffman, My Interview with Teri Gross and the Stomach flu

Does anyone else do this?  I had been listening to Fresh Air earlier in the day.  A lot more than I usually had time for due to our week of snow days leaving me home from work.
I learned about Mr. Hoffman’s untimely death and was inspired to go net surfing to learn more about the actor.  I learned about everything there was to know and more.  I also read all that Wikipedia and YouTube had to offer about Truman Capote, heroin addiction, methadone programs, and some Catholic priest scandals.
Later that day the dreaded tummy troubles started.  I knew I had a good chance of falling victim because my three children had been suffering on and off for over a week.  YUCK!!
With a cold, you can drink, eat, relax on the couch, sleep, watch TV, look at any of your devices.
But with this stomach flu, I couldn't look at a screen without getting nauseous.  I could sleep some, but when the nausea came...well you can't sleep then.
So what's a person to do to pass the low-grade-fevered, head ache and stomach cramping time?
Sit up in your bed and fantasize your Teri Gross interview about how and why you started your one-million plus readership blog!
"Wow Teri, it's such an honor."
I think I faded in and out of a waking dream, but the interview went very well.
