What makes you feel comforted when you are sick?

I feel this question is pretty appropriate considering I was sick all of last week, and have the lingering cough to prove it. Dave is now sick (this tends to happen with the two of us - and really any couple), and I am now trying to do things to comfort him that helped me last week. When I am sick I enjoy comfort foods, like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese as long as my stomach can handle them. I also like warm, comfy blankets and hot drinks. Last week all I wanted was junk food but I think that had more to do with my growing desire to pig out than my sickness. But most of all, I like to not work - sick days are actually enjoyable because you don't have to feel guilty about not going.
