Virus Grenade

The family entered Christmas in relative health. As the weekend progressed, Harper got sniffly and JD started to feel a tiny bit ill. Today, Calvin seems to be the only healthy one. Harper and Nigel may be the sickest, followed by me and JD. It is particularly frustrating to me because this is the first "down" time we've really had post-Xmas celebrations. This means, that the house still has large piles of items that need to find homes, boxes that need to be opened and broken down, and the usual debris found in a house with three kids. I feel a need to work on some of this...while maintaining the fire in the fireplace, do work (it is a week/work-day, after all), fold laundry (have two baskets of clean clothes and a load sitting in the drier), and do any kid-shepherding that may be required.
