Cone of Silence

Yesterday morning I woke up to an extremely sore throat.

And minimal voice.

I hit the Oil of Oregano and Vitamin D3.

Hard.

Lots of water to drink.

Liposomal Vitamin C.

And a blessing from Rod and Kyle.

Last night I got a pretty good sleep in my hotel room.

At least my sore throat didn't wake me in the night.

My voice was a little sketchy - but I was able to teach.

By the end of the day (10 hours) I was just about out.

In fact, I chose to spend the last 10 minutes

showing a video.

Then I headed to Target.

Bought some throat lozenges with menthol and eucalyptus.

Then to Red Lobster for soup and salad.

I had to point to what I wanted on the menu.

Now I'm in my hotel bed.

With a cup of herbal "throat coat" tea.

Basically licorice root and some other herbs.

I'm pretty sure by the end of tomorrow I will have done 

some major damage to my vocal chords.

Which basically means I will have to sing tenor for the next 6 months.

But hopefully my students will be able to hear me.

I see LOTS of videos in my plan for tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
