Theres a first time for everything...
Well, here I am. I've finally given in and started a live journal. I doubt I'll keep it updated, but I can try. I guess the main reason I was pushed to doing this is that I have lost my voice almost entirely and probably won't be speaking for a while. This has made me very starved for socialization, so I hope that this journal will help and we'll see where it goes from there.
Where to start? Well, despite my very real lack of "vocal skillz", I am forced to work today. I just got back from being called it to help and still have to go back tonight for many hours of pointing at things and mimeing out what I want. One thing that helped me is to carry a little card in my hat that said simply put: "I'm sorry, I have lost my voice."
That way the customers won't think I'm psychotic...or maybe they'll think I'm MORE psychotic! Whatever.
As always I'm missing jessica. Its quite saddening to see her schedule being the exact polar opposite of mine. Well, in the end love will win over.
James called last night and we hung out. It made me happy and inspired nostalgic thoughts of the old days. Ahhh, throwing eggs at BIG's car; Having "tea party-esk" D and D games with stuffed animals; talking smack about brandon.
Meditation of the day:
Remember kids: Every word that passes your lips is a gift from God. In this sense, there is no bad thing that God can do to you because every fabric of your being is a grace that can be taken away. And no matter what you're left with, its still a tremendous gift for which we should give thanks.
Losing my voice has reminded me of this. And gaining it back will further affirm it.
