Hey all you out there in Cyberspace,
It's Cordelia,
For those of you who don't know me outside of the blog, I have been getting over a particularly bad cold. As a result I have had little to no voice over the past few days and it has made things extremely difficult.
For starters, I sound like golem from Lord of the Rings and one of my coworkers even tried to get me to say "my precious" in my messed up sick voice a couple days ago... it was funny, but it sucked. I tried everything I could think of to try and make my throat feel better; I tried old Greek remedies my grandmother told me about, I tried cold medicine, I tried tea with honey, I even tried whiskey and coke ( at the advice of my childhood best friend), but nothing was working.
I swear people were just messing with me to try and get me to yell because my voice kept making this crazy crackling, squealing noice each time I tried to raise my voice. It would feel like I was having one sided conversations since Sunday when I first got sick. And the worst part is, as my voice was slowly starting to get better, it was going through some creepy undesirable stages such as the "Oscar the Grouch" phase and the "Grinch" phase.
But then finally tonight by some stroke of luck my voice finally managed to come back. Yeah, I'm not going to lie, my throat still hurts ALOT but at least I can talk again. I never really realized how much I really need my voice to complete my day to day tasks. I just hope it doesn't flee on me again before tomorrow.
I hope you all have a nice night!
