So that cold

[silverthorne]

Still pretty sure it's a cold.

Right now though, it's taken up residence in my vocal cords. Yay, laryngitis. :(

The good news is that I don't have a fever, sore throat, swollen glands, or the spiffy white dots in the back of my throat that would signify strep, so that's one relief. That, and the cold meds I got this morning seem to be clearing things up a little. I still sound a little rough, but at least I can talk now without choking on my own flem.

Poor Foot is confused, because she's used to 'talking' back and forth with me, and right now, everything I 'say' sounds like a growl and with no tonal variation whatsoever. I took to just whispering 'good girl' and petting her for the meantime, because that big yellow kitten stare she has while she tries to figure what's up with Mom (and whether or not Mom is going to eat her), is kinda making me go 'aww' in that sad way.

Anyhow, at work at the moment, although I might try to beg off the rest of the day if I start feeling really bad. There is much sleeping in my immediate future.

Last time I had laryngitis the doctor made me stay home, even though I felt mostly fine and only could not talk, because he said I was probably contagious. And you probably are too, at least to some degree. So go back to bed.

Feel better!

Silence. Not so golden.
