My Voice Has been Muted!

I haven't been feeling too great since Friday.


You know, the usual cold and flu symptoms: sore throat, headache, tight chest, phlegm, post-nasal drip, etc. Oh I know, it all sounds soooo sexy.


Yesterday my voice started croaking and when I woke up this morning, it was completely muted with the occassional froggie squeak.


I feel I have to shout just to get the smallest of whispers out and it takes a lot of energy.


I'm fucking exhausted and I can't shout at the kids, what a bummer!


Laryngitis sucks!

At Home with a Sick Kaylin

Got the dreaded call from the girl's nursery school this morning.  "You little on is running a temperature and is miserable".

Kaylin has a temperature of 39 degrees C and it very lethargic and her eyes are swollen.  We got an appointment with our GP almost immediately and because she has such a high temperature, shows us that she has some sort of infection.  The doc gave her a thorough check and her ears are clear, her throat is fine, her nose is runny and blockend she's sneezing a lot.  The doc says it could be a combination of her allergies and an infection.

She's on antibiotics and I have given her Celestimine for her allergies...doesn't seem to get her down much as she's up and dancing to Hi-5 at the moment.  What will I do to get her to rest??

Lets hope all the meds start to work soon.  Until then I'm at home with her and if I do get her to rest I can watch my episode 3 and 4 of Season 6 Grey's Anatomy.

The Flu has officially smacked me across the face

I've trying so hard to prevent from getting ill when I woke up with a sore throat on Wednesday morning. I dosed myself with med lemon on Wednesday night and some cold meds. By last night I was so sore and grumpy, I went to bed early with no energy and a dry cough. I thought that a good night's sleep would be just the ticket, but when I woke up this morning I had a dry cough and now I feel as if a truck has hit me.

I guess my weekend is pretty much stuffed ALTHOUGH nothing will stop me from going to the MPH show on Saturday night with my Boerewors. It will be out first night out alone in ages. Even if I have to pop sinutabs and pain pills to get there. I will NOT miss out again. I missed it last year because I couldn't get a babysitter and Riaan went alone.

I'll rest when I'm dead!
