I sound so good right now

I visited my parents at the weekend and my Dad has the most horrendous cold.

Yesterday I woke up with a slight tickle in my throat. But I was singing at Marylebone station after work and I am a determined sort of person, so I did my thing and ate Vocalzones and make it through two hours of carols and assorted Christmas songs successfully.

By the time I got home, my voice was on its way out.

Today I have no voice. I am hilarious. If I strain, I can get a sort of whisper squeak out. My boss keeps curling up laughing every time I have to speak.

(He's a treasure. An actual treasure, not the sarcastic type. He fought marketing off for me today so he gets so much kudos.)

I need to do some last minute shopping after work so I plan to do that, get home, and possibly not leave the house again until I can speak properly. Although I've now started sneezing and sniffling, so I might not feel much like going anywhere for a couple of days. Please let this cold be done by the weekend? I have too much to do!
