1. When you feel the cold coming on at 9pm Sunday, do not hesitate to go to bed. Stay in bed, no matter what, until 1pm the next day.

2. Get out of bed, put on clothes, go to work. Convince your supervisor after 1 hour that your services are actually not needed. Go home.

3. When you get home, once again, go immediately to bed. Sleep for hours and hours. Awake only to grudgingly answer phone calls, and to watch TV for a couple hours in the evening.

4. Wake up at 6am on Tuesday. It helps to have Tuesday off. Drink lots of coffee, and ravenously eat a huge breakfast. Spend the morning playing around on the Internet, and drinking about four or five quarts of water.

5. Discover it is really nice outside. Head out into the yard and halfheartedly dig up dandelions. Bask in the sun.

6. Go to Lucé and fuck around with your iPod over the sound system. Drink the free vodka gimlets they ply you with for doing such a thing (these are medicinal, trust me). Eat free pizza.

7. Go home. Watch this before turning in early.

In the morning, you will feel terrific.
