There but for the grace of Phamily

I really was afraid that I would not be able to sing a single note last night.

But we got through it.

I say 'we' in this case, not just because

So glad you got through it successfully. Take care of yourself now, okay?

Well done! I've been there, it sucks. I didn't buy anybody a T-shirt.

I suggest today communicating exclusively through a variety of large signs held up comedically on posts, ala Genma or Wyle E. Coyote. Perhaps a whiteboard stuck to a 1x2 piece of wood, since that would allow the quickest changes.

Perhaps I have spent too much time watching animation.

Oh, and a clinic is not at all a bad idea; get a check to make sure you don't have a sinus infection. Also, post-nasal drip will hammer your throat just like this, so if they're seeing inflammation but not infection, my first guess given the timing would be pollen allergies, about which I know far too much. (Do you know the difference between antihistamines and decongestants? You can take antihistamines when singing. You do not want to take decongestants. Most popular over-the-counter allergy-relief packages contain both in one package, and that's bad, but you can get antihistamines alone, and they're surprisingly cheap. Let me know if a checkup shows you might need to care.)

Haha, I definitely agree

I'm also going to have to not talk to anyone for the rest of the con. This is a first for me. It'll be an interesting experiment, trying to sell CDs and make friends when I can't say anything.

Semaphore Sooj. That will be your nickname. *nods* *ducks*

Feel better. And I hope you can laugh silently. (I can. It's a skill that came in VERY handy when I worked in a call center and customers on the phone were asshats.)

And this entry makes me smile happily. You and your friends kick ass at many times and in many ways.

She does have a habit of waving little flags around...

SOOPER SOOJ is SOOPER! *cuddlecuddleCUDDLES* You need a fan -- of the non-squeeing kind -- with which to communicate through your silence. A fan, your eyes, and a swing o'the fey hips. In the words of the mighty Ursula, you've got your looks! Your pretty face! And DON'T underestimate the power of BODY LANGUAGE! (Hahah!)

I've long liked how Ursula came this close to pronouncing "body" "BAWDY."

I don't know if they have them in the Midwest, but a bunch of the CVS Pharmacies around here have opened up Minute Clinics inside the store where you can go for things like cold/flu, etc., and the doctor/nurse practitioner will check you out without an appointment and without waiting in a waiting room full of other sick people. Also, their prices are reasonable, and if you need to pick up some medicine, you don't have to make an extra stop.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
