Laryngitis

....an inflammation of your voice box (larynx) from overuse, irritation or infection.... I sit here and ponder over this diagnosis that has taken hold of my voice for almost a week now. I guess we don't realize how precious our voices are until we can't use them. I can't sing, I can't holler, I can't tell my kids to cut it out....I can only croak. My dr kindly perscribes me a Z pack, mostly because she can't find anything else wrong with me and it's better to take "just in case." She tells me I need lots of sleep (yeah right!) and NO talking. (again....yeah right!) 

So here I am voiceless, feeling like poo and staring at mounds of clean laundry begging to be folded. All I really want to do is crawl in bed with my laptop (if it weren't broken) and browse the internet for new crafting ideas. I am in the mood to "make some new things." I go through phases of projects as often as I change clothes...Ha! 

Any suggestions?
