Guess what? I'm sick. Less than two days after I filled in for someone who'd lost her voice, my own voice started threatening to leave. It's just a cold, but a lot of people in the chorus this fall have had something that started as a cold and turned into a days-long bout of laryngitis. Gah. Also, it hurts when I talk.
I'm going to try to not to talk until Friday. I stayed home part of today (for the three hours I was at work, I used charades and note-writing), and I probably won't go in tomorrow. I hate being sick. And I can't call anyone. And I'm planning the cast party, and it's stressing me out. Sigh.

:: feel better !!! ::
if it makes you a little less nervous, there are now approximately 90 cookies sitting in my freezer, waiting to be warmed up on sunday. [oatmeal toffee chocolate chip cookies, half with pecans, too.] i just baked like a madwoman. felt kinda good!
(i also have a bag of plain chocolate chip cookie dough in case you want more than what i've got chillin' now. heh. chillin'.)
Yay! Cookies! Thanks, EC!
Solidarity, my silent sister!
Not that I need to tell you this, but don't forget to drink a *ton* of fluids. Honestly, I found that green tea with a shot of lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey was actually quite helpful. It didn't exactly taste all that great, but it was bearable.
Ton of fluids. Check. And there is now honey in my green tea. (One of the advice nurses I called told me to avoid citrus because it could irritate my throat...who knows, but I'm trying it. I'll try anything. Including charades at work.)
At least Google Talk is here for you in your time of need!
Goddamn HFMTD!!!!!
I KNOW!!! J.Vo, you're a doctor, can't you find a CURE already???
(And yes, S.Vix, gtalk is my savior.)
Dude. I've been working on a cure since 1995.
I'm sick too - thought not with a lost voice. I got food poisoning 2 days ago and had a fever and aches yesterday. Ugh. But I don't have to sing in any performances, so recovery is a bit less nerve-wracking.
GET BETTER SOON!
