Sweet Catastrophe

I woke up this morning to find something missing….my voice. Ugh…while I don’t really mind it much–I have some odd fascination with being hoarse and losing my voice, all that….either way, it was a pain in the ass at work today.

I still went into work ’cause, well…how would I call in anyway? It took 3 hours before they finally told me they’d let me leave at 1 if I felt like I couldn’t stay. Everything went well enough. It was nice to see a handful of people sort of taking care of me and paging things and calling departments for me when they knew I’d need it.

Things got a little rough when I was up at Returns for the last little bit though. Everything got hectic and there were a lot of complex Returns that required explanations, and questions and such. Luckily the customers I dealt with were really understanding, even the gentleman with the hearing aid–we were definitely a pair!

Overall, I’m feeling a lot better, but I certainly don’t feel well. My chest is tight, and I keep having these spells where my throat feels like there are about a million thorns running up and down my throat, trailing lemon juice behind them to sprinkle about…in other words–ouch.

So here I am, at home. Bored. Everyone is off at work and elsewhere and I’m home early, feeling too well just lie around on the couch, but not quite well enough to do much else. I’m not even really feeling up to sitting at the computer long enough to finish one of the movies on here, so I’m not quite sure what I’ll do for the afternoon. Suggestions? Obviously not karaoke though…
