Sick rituals

I was thinking about "sick rituals" the other day (since as I write I'm recovering from a chest cold) - meaning, something you tend to do when you are sick that makes you feel better. My sick ritual is to watch Mary Poppins and eat a jar of applesauce. I don't know how it started, but when I feel lousy, the urge is incredible. I was talking to some folks at work about sick rituals, and they thought I was crazy, but I know for a fact that many people observe these hallowed sacraments.
