Yup. This sore throat since I've had since last week (during my vacation thankyouverymuch) still is haning around, and since I have one more choir rehersal and two concerts this weekend to sing in, I am embarking on a new strategy: tea and silence. (Not to be confused with tea and sympathy...or coke and sympathy for that matter. But I won't say no to sympathy....)

I'm taking a sick day tomorrow, though I do have to go in tomorrow to get a flu shot (funny, hey?). The fact that I can barely talk was causing enough problems at work today, and I don't see writing things down all day as an option. I'm not speaking unless I absolutely can avoid it. Tea will be drunk by the gallon; I've got boxes full of decaf herbal tea, I've got honey, I've got lemon, I've got ginger. I also picked up a bottle of a throat spray called "Singer's Saving Grace" which seems to work really well.

My next rehersal is Thursday night, and the first concert is Saturday. Even if by cruel fate I am still down on Thursday, I should definately have a voice again by Saturday night, right?

Knock on wood for me, ok?
