Should have taken the flu shot?

Not that I've been to the doctor recently as it is, not that anyone offered it to me.
My head is killing! It's all fuzzy. My throat hurts, my body aches. I just want to sleep, and tomorrow I have to take care of shabbos. It is shabbos chanukah so it is always busy around here. My head is not even working well enough to count how many guests we are having.
Baruch Hashem, what can I do?
Tomorrow I will have to make a menu stagger to the store, shop , cook. I so wanted to bake challah but that might be out as well.
Oh, plus I have A big blister on my toe from the fiery herb fuzz that was set aflame there the other day (yes, we did it again). I think now I will make myself some tea and curl up with the latest Reader's digest I bought myself for chanukah.

Ushpizin

I went to see the Ushpizin movie tonight. It is an Israeli film produced by a secular film company. It was written and directed (I believe) by chozrei b'teshuva who were actors in their "previous life". A lot of the actors are from the breslov kehilla of various places. It is the story of a chozer b'teshuva couple who have a sukkos packed with nisyonos and tikkunim. It was a much better film than I imagined it was going to be. The acting was good. The plot was intriguing and included drama and comedy. It was like a classic old chassidishe story but with a modern twist- and on the big screen! To be honest I cried through much of the film. Much of the story just hit really close to home.
I hear in Jerusalem there are showings with English subtitles.

Shavua tov!
