Jewish Penicillin

Dad always says chicken soup is Jewish penicillin. I think I'm going to order some hot and sour or other chicken-based soup tonight because I still feel horrible. The kids have done really well today. Leslie has been "cat herding" them to clean their rooms and straighten the house in general. I can actually see the floor in their rooms, so that's an improvement. I managed to carry out the trash and compost, and spray for some ants before I had to come back in and sit down. My head was pounding and I felt like I'd just done some kind of long, manual labor. Leslie has been ten times as productive as me these past 2 days. :-( She really amazes me with her strength. I know she's not feeling near 100%, but she's been caring for me and the kids like has nothing to complain about.
