Losing My Voice

Let's review. Sunday 3am, awakened by a sore throat. Sunday, miserable. Monday, painful but tolerable. Tuesday, same, maybe a little better. I thought I was on the mend, even considered a run.

Then that evening my throat started hurting a lot more. And a dry cough kicked in. And congestion. But not the normal congestion, just really thick gunk instead of the slimy stuff. Overall I feel dry, dry, dry.

Up all last night. Maybe an hour or two of sleep. Coffee and pseudoephedrine zapped me into high gear this morning for a long day of production in front of the computer. Deadlines looming, there's simply no time to take a sick day.

Meetings from this afternoon and tomorrow morning moved, thanks Alex, Mark, Greg and Rob. Trust me, you don't want to be around me.

Over the course of the day my throat pain has diminished somewhat. But now I can't talk.

Heather's got the same thing but her symptoms appear to be a day behind. So she's gonna have a rough night. It's rather abnormal for me to get something before her.

Today commas, just kinda worked for me.
