big mouth strikes again...not

I have a killer case of pharyngitis and laryngitis. So blogging and emailing is my only form of communication. Seriously. I have NO voice. Today at work I kept opening my mouth and nothing at all came out. It's such a weird feeling.

I'll tell you what though. Nothing gets sympathy from people like laryngitis. Like, for once, people don't think you're faking. All of my co-workers have been giving me the "poor thing, you should go home" speech with sad eyes and a pout. Today I went into work just to go to a scheduled meeting. When I got into work and checked my email, the meeting was cancelled. So I turned around and went back home. Mobtown is sick too and came home early as well. Both sick together. So sad!

The laryngitis is worth it, though, for the great singing we enjoyed this weekend at the 7th Annual Keystone Sacred Harp Convention. I was already sick with this chest cold/sore throat combo I've been suffering with since before Christmas (it just won't go away!). But I sucked on enough Hall's Menthol Eucalyptus honey-lemon drops to sing for all weekend. Including a wonderful time singing after attending a service at a primitive baptist church near the convention. My voice held out! Yay! I was hoarse as soon as we left the church.


Singing at the Southampton Primitive Baptist Church, post-convention: After we sing, we sing some more!

Monday morning, I woke up with no voice.

It's quite challenging for a big mouth like me!

But I'm really enjoying being sick & resting...without being as sick as I was around the holidays and 2 weeks ago. I'm at the point where I'm too sick to work and be out and about and all, but I'm well enough to sit up and read and crochet and watch tv. And blog. Lucky you!

So, let me just say a word about my new favorite tee-vee show: ISAAC!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god, DARLING. It is WONDERFUL. You must watch it. Mobtown HATES it. I mean, HATES it. But I LOVE it. I've realized while watching it that Isaac shares all my conversational mannerisms and sayings.

And I realized.

Underneath it all, at my core, at the true essence of my being.

I am a gay man.

Ha!

So, after you watch the Isaac show, which you will ADORE, you must send out Isaac cards to all your friends. I especially like the "Feeling Chubby?" one.

Ta!


Isaac! Isn't he fabulous?!?!
