I can't figure out if i should use estar or ser for the "estar en casa" bit. Any ideas, and why? I think it's estar because she is sick is temporary but at the same time couldn't it be "ser en casa" if she was in the house for the duration of her illness? Thank you.

That is totally correct. "estar" is used with health, mood and location. In this case "está aburrida" refers to her mood and "estar en casa" refers to her location.

Buen trabajo!

I'm almost positive that eatar is correct because it is temporary.
