Well, back to reality in this germ-infested world. After a nice two week minimoon, I got back into the full swing of things with school and work. Both places involve face to face communication with people, and the latter requires me to actually be hands-on with the public (I am a hair stylist, I figured I shouldd clear that up so I don't sound shady!). Begining on Thursday, I noticed a little tickle in my throat, which I attributed to smoking cigarettes. I normally do not smoke full-time, I am a part-time, social smoker, however first week back in reality found me smoking a butt or two in the evening.
Friday, it was worse. Everyone I talked to agreed it must be allergies. Thank you, end of summer pollutants and allergens. Saturday, work was busy and I talked all day, even though it was painful. By Saturday evening, my voice was that of a phone-sex operator. My neck ached, it hurt to even turn my head. Sunday morning, this morning, I woke up way too early for a Sunday, with the most painful throbbing all around my neck. No voice, and a bit of a headache. A visit to the Urgent Care unit nearby resulted in the diagnosis that due to my recent heavy exposure to people has resulted in a viral infection that is attacking my vocal chords, throat and tonsils. No talking for me for several days, and my husband is THRILLED. This is hard, this not talking thing. It feels lonely :(

Communicating and connecting is the purpose....
