So, for the seemingly umpteenth time in my 35 years, I have lost my voice. I've been semi-sick the last week or so. I've tried various remedies, thinking cold, or allergies (I had my flu shot)... and when nothing worked, I chalked it up to the change of season crud... well, my voice has been getting raspy the last couple of days, and cutting in and out...
Today, I lost it.
When i was in high school, I had laryngitis (or strep, or bronchitis) at least once a year... then things settled down... would get colds or flus, but none of the previously mentioned illnesses for years... then around 2000 or so, I got laryngitis once again... I remember it well, I was working at Virgin Megastore in San Francisco... fortunately, by the time i went back to work, my voice was on its way back... I only needed my dry erase board a few days...
So now, in 2008, here I am without my voice. Again. Life s*cks. I've been drinking water and tea... and more water... upsetting JoJo since she's been on my lap all afternoon (Meowmy must go potty, now... I said NOW, cat!)
I wanted to check the symptoms of Laryngitis, as it's been a while and this is the first time I've had it while living alone... dry cough: check; raspy voice/no voice: check: following a cold or something similar: check.
This is gonna be fun. I better go buy another dry erase board... either that or bring one of my notepads around... urgh.
I called in for today to work... tempting for tomorrow... then again, it'll be interesting if i don't have my voice... I've been resting it today, merely whispering at JoJo to get off my lap... of course, she doesn't recognize that, so I have to practically shove her off... and I get the indignant look... and as soon as I sit back down, she's right back up there...
Meowmy's spoiled little brat
So, I may be getting even more chatty on here... depends on how long I'm out of work...
