"So for the next 10 days - while in quarantine- I will beautify…..Or maybe I’ll sleep…I actually have a lot of work to do, but for the inevitable breaks, what should I watch?" the actress asked her fans. "Tell me in the comments!"
She ended her post with the following hashtags: "#COVID #quarantine #streamingTV #faceandhairmasks."
"How annoying," commented Chelsea Handler, while Miss J Alexander wrote, "Feel better @therealdebramessing 🤎."

The Will & Grace lead didn't mention whether she had received her booster shot, but on April 9, she posted a video as a nurse administered her the second dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.
"I DID IT!!!! I am FULLY VACCINATED!!!!" she declared. "THANK YOU to EVERY researcher, doctor, nurse, first responder, governor, member of the Biden Administration for making this happen so quickly! 20% of the US is vaccinated!"
"Let’s keep it up everyone! Grab your friend, your family members, and go get your vaccination a soon as you can!" the Emmy nominee continued. "The quicker we get it, the quicker we can return to work, school, weddings, ball games, plays, concerts, family reunions~-all the things that bring us joy, and make us feel part of a larger community."
"Together, we can DO this!" she insisted, noting that you don't need health insurance to receive the vaccine and it's completely free of charge.
A multitude of other celebs have tested positive for COVID-19 of late as well, including Hugh Jackman, Meena Harris and LL Cool J.
Fortunately, Jackman, who is vaccinated and boosted, is hanging in there. "Hey, good morning. I just wanted you to hear it from me that I tested positive this morning for COVID," he stated while wearing a black face mask. "My symptoms are like a cold: I have a scratchy throat and a bit of a runny nose, but I'm fine."
