Hey, guess what! My eye is pretty much totally kind of better! Better enough that I can read a little bit at a time, as long as I’ve taken over-the-counter pain meds! (I know, you were not wondering about my eye, and I know, this is boring and kind of gross. Sorry.)

Anyway. Instead of the scratched cornea pain, now I have completely lost my voice. Why? I do not know. I had a cold last week, and I’m guessing I didn’t give it enough attention (what with the eyeball injury and all), so it’s looking for retribution.

On the one hand, when I whisper, the kids all whisper back. So it’s pleasantly quiet around here. On the other hand, if they can’t hear me, they don’t respond at all, quietly or not.

I just cannot win this week.
