I guess I should have been more specific when I asked for a day off!

So I'm off today, unscheduled, unprepared, and un-entertained by the idea!

I'm off because I quite literally have NO voice! How am I supposed to teach anyone anything when they can't hear a word I'm saying because nothing's coming out?

This happened once before, almost two years ago around Thanksgiving. Again, coming off of living on Advil Cold and Sinus type drugs for 3-4 days. I guess the consensus is that if I'm needing that stuff past 48 hours, go get a prescription, because the 3rd day I'm losing my voice, and the 4th day it's gone! Literally, I can barely get out a whisper. It doesn't hurt, I feel better than I have in days, but it's like there's some big disk blocking the sound in the lower part of my throat. So, I'm drinking tons, sucking on everything, and switched OTC meds to Mucinex MD, so hopefully create a productive enough cough to actually cough, which will hopefully cough up whatever's blocking me from getting sound out!

So, I'm home, blowing through text messages like never before, to the point that I logged into Verizon's site and upped my plan to unlimited when I realized I've sent/received over 70 texts in one day! Before 10am! With only 250 a month, and 10 days to go on this billing cycle, that was not going to be a pleasant bill to pay! I hate not talking to people. Seriously, I'm a talker, always have been, probably always will be. No voice is worse than the stomach bug for me!

So, to occupy my time, because even errands would be boring because I'd feel rude not talking to the people in the stores, I'm putting in my photo order, cleaning my kitchen, putting away a month's worth of clean laundry (don't judge, we live out of the laundry basket most of the time) and baking up the rest of the sugar cookie dough. I have to go out and run a couple of errands because I owe Sarah her coasters and need to go to the Post Office and I need to drop a deposit at the bank, but I'll use drive-up so I don't have to talk to anyone. Oh, and Wegmans has a limit 2 sale on basically all baking products, so I'm going back for my second stock up! If I make one more trip Friday I should have enough stuff to last me through Thanksgiving if not Christmas!

Maybe I'll even be nice and bake something extra for the husband today, maybe :)

Have a good one guys, I'll be getting caught up on my to do list, productive, even if it isn't very fun!
