At a Loss for Words
At least vocally. Laryngitis is no fun especially when everyone wants to talk to you. Fortunately my children understand my snap and points. The doctor instead of prescribing antibotics (because I have allergies to three and maybe he couldn't think of a fourth) gave me some topical throat spray and said to ride it out. So Thursday night I stayed up with my 103 F temperature and decided screw that. So I'm taking Sudafed and Aleve and hoping the lymphnodes in my neck keep going down with the throat spray. This all should be hopefully over by next Saturday for the flight.
Movers come on Tuesday. Kids finish school Thursday. We have all day Good Friday to finish cleaning up the apartment and drive over to Manchester to spend the night. Saturday morning we get to the airport and come home. This is the week that is hard to shop for since people have been asking us out to dinner and we don't want to over buy on groceries.
Today we have the Easter egg hunt at the kids' school and we're going to pack up the suitcases leaving out only enough clothes for the next week. Then over to a friends' house tonight. Tomorrow more getting ready for the movers since Mommy's been out of commission this week. Monday after school the kids and I are going over to our friend in Hathersage for a last play and tea. Phil's going out with the guys from work that night probably. Phil's boss wants to take us out to dinner sometime next week. It seems very unreal that in one week we'll be home in America and even more unreal that the people the kids and I have seen almost everyday for the past year, we won't see anymore if ever again.

I love having laryngitis. I enjoy croaking, squeaking, rasping, and whispering what I have to say. I think laryngitis can be a lot of fun. In fact, I'm enjoying a severe case of laryngitis right now. I sound horrible, but I feel great. If there was a way to keep laryngitis, I would try to keep it. I just love the way I sound when I have laryngitis. I talked so much with today, that I now cannot speak above a whisper. I have completely and totally lost my voice. We'll see how long it lasts.
