I've lost my voice....not in some metaphorical sense, the literal/physical one. Weird as some may think, I got sick with a cold and within a day I had a friend instruct me to stop speaking because she could hear me getting laryngitis. So here I sit for a second day, with no other way to express my self but in writing/typing.
I'm proud to say I've handled this current illness very well. Generally, I just fight through it and don't slow down - unless of course I'm contagious...as I told some people who asked - I push myself when I'm sick but I don't get others sick. This time around I've been careful not to speak too much, I've gone to the Doctor to check there was nothing terrible disguised as a cold - nope, but I'm currently on more drugs then I can keep track of (Cold-FX, nasonex, symbacourt, and biaxin)- and tonight I even decided to stay home and rest instead of going to the pub night event that I really wanted to attend.
Now as interesting as not speaking has been, it kind of sucked at rehearsal last night. As stage manager, I really needed to be staying on top of the cast and keeping them on track but I couldn't and unfortunately we haven't been working long enough for them to have a routine and my ASM's don't have my instincts yet....so as much fun as talking through my computer was, this situation was quite frustrating.
So that's all I wanted to share tonight...nothing to philosophical to say...I'm definitely appreciating the power of speech. The next few days are quite busy, so hopefully I'll have something fun to write about soon.
