Never Thought This Would Happen
I was sick last weekend and got over that. Then I got really bad congestion to where I couldn't even sleep at night I was coughing so much. The first night is when I used the Mucinex. Then the second night I tried it again and it didn't do anything so ended up having to suck on a cough drop while I sleep. That worked, but it also makes me cautious while I sleep 'cause I didn't want to choke on it. I also am using our huge decorative pillow for our bed to prop myself up, so I've slept almost sitting up for the past 3 nights.
I guess I've been coughing too much or too hard 'cause yesterday while teaching pre-k my voice started cracking. And we were practicing our Christmas songs for our Christmas program tomorrow, and I sung about every other word 'cause my voice was cracking so much. Luckily we have one of the kid's grandmas in there doing the music part.
As the day went along my voice cracked more and more and I thought I sounded pretty funny so I didn't bother resting my voice or anything. We had our Christmas party for my 8th grade girl's small group, so of course there was a lot of talking then too!
When Tim and I got home we played with his Christmas gift from all of the youth workers. Guitar Hero III, what fun!!! And stayed up way too late (almost 2) playing it. My voice was almost to a whisper by that time.
And now waking up this morning I am totally at a whisper, there is nothing there. I am suppose to work at Hallmark tonight, and I'm a little confused as to how I can do that. I guess I wont be working the register. There are 3 people there 'til almost closing, so that should work. As long as not too many people ask me to help them find something.
I still need to do a little more Christmas shopping, and I need to get something from Hallmark, so I'll probably go in this morning while the manager is there and see what she says about me working. I hope they let me still work 'cause that would be a real bummer if I can't 'cause of my voice. We'll see.
