I somehow picked up a sore throat the other day upon waking up in the morning. Sore throats are no fun, especially for me. My day consists of speaking with people for an extended period of time – usually about eight hours of speaking time with an hour lunch and a couple of ten minute breaks. That is a lot of stress to put on a voice when you’re sick. Yesterday I made it OK, but today I’m worried that I can’t make it through all my classes. If I can’t speak, I can’t work.

I’ll bring some medicine to work and hope for the best – I’ve also got some throat drops and various other remedies that may help out. Still four more days to go this week, so the safety of the weekend is a long ways out.
