Thank you so so much for all your love about my last post. I’m sorry to be such a downer sometimes but I can’t help feeling the anxiety getting stronger as next week draws closer. lauranen is right though: it would be a good idea to look at the good and happy things in such light as well. May next week be good and swell with lots of laughters and celebrations, with my brother’s family who is coming here from out of town.

My tongue have healed, thank goodness!!!, but my voice is gone. All this coughing and hacking doesn’t help either. Today I went to send our digital camera in for repair. So I’m at the local UPS store, whispering and mouthing my words through.

Feeling sorry for me, the woman at the counter asked if I have a job that requires a lot of talking. You know, because my voice is completely and utterly gone. To which, I answered with a whisper:

“Yes. I have two small kids.”
