Yikes. This sucks. I can't talk at all. I knew that karaoke and drinking while recovering from a cold was not such a good idea, but I didn't think it would have such repercussions.
At least yesterday I was painlessly rasping out a sentence here and there. Today I can barely manage a word without it feeling like I'm trying to swallow broken glass.

It's a grey rainy day here, so at least the weather is matching my mood/state of health. And that makes me feel better about sitting around in my bathrobe, drinking tea, eating soup, and curling up to read by my bedroom window.

Which I think I will resume doing now.
