Poor Lily seems to have caught my head cold, but hers also includes a nasty fever! She stayed home today, the last day of school, and is collapsed on the couch with o.j. and the tv remote control. Since she's mostly-vegetarian, I can't make her chicken soup so instead I'm whipping up some healthy veggie soup and a loaf of fresh bread. Hopefully she'll feel better soon!
