The Range: Sick Day Must Haves

Jan 3, 2023

Last week was a doozy.

In the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I needed to work three days, clean up holiday decorations, pack, and move to Montana.  So it was the perfect time for Sloane and I to get sick.  Oh, and did I mention, our Schnauzer also needed emergency surgery?

Time for everyone to convalesce on the couch.  And what does one need to survive a sick day with an infant and a dog?  Here’s a list.

This Phoebe Wrap Cardigan is more like a blanket than a sweater, and when you don’t feel well, that’s just what you need.  It comes in four colors, three are on sale.  If you’re looking for something lighter, try the Restore Wrap from Athleta.  Like the cozy, fuzzy blanket style?  Target also has the look for less.

When you don’t feel well, the last thing you need is a waistband that pinches.  These Superflex leggings from 90 Degree by Reflex have an elastic-free waistband that doesn’t bind.  Prefer a little extra warmth?  Try their fleece lined leggings.

I like to be extra cozy when I don’t feel well, and these over-the-knee socks from Free People are just the ticket.  They’re also good for all of your Jennifer Beales Halloween costume needs.

It’s important to stay hydrated when you’re under the weather.  This Stanley 40oz Tumbler is just the ticket.  Don’t care about the handle?  The 30oz is available in significantly more colors.
