Speechless
No, not by any overwhelming incident, or gift (although the gifts were amazingly generous and heartfelt, and we did have a Christmas Eve ER incident…more on that later), but speechless because of laryngitis.
I felt it coming on and thought I had staved it off with a couple of days of rest and then an actual, full-on, watch-the-entire-second-season-of-
Arrested-Development-because-I’m-so-sick day. But then I woke up today, the first day of the year, with hardly any voice at all. I’m feeling mostly ok – worse than yesterday, but much better than the day before – but my voice is quite gone.
And, you’ve probably noticed how my voice has been gone here on the blog as well.
I’m still learning about the care and feeding of my body, my mind, my soul, and my blog. There were many things I wanted to post, but didn’t. I’m still figuring out how to do all the things that I want to in a way that feels good to me and not a chore.
Here’s to 2008. All the best to all of us, on so many levels.

Welcome back! Hope you feel better very soon. I’ve been struggling with a Christmas flu too. It’s not fair, is it?

I’m glad, at least, that you had Arrested Development to watch, as it is one of the funniest shows EVER, especially when you watch the episodes back-to-back.

Hey there, well…you have an online voice, that’s for sure – thanks for nominating ChronicBabe.com for the 2007 Medical Blog Awards. I appreciate it! Now keep taking good care of yourself.
(And, btw, 35 is definitely still a Babe – I just turned 35 too!)
