Literally, I have laryngitis!

After my unexpected, yucky disclosure on Thursday, I woke up Friday with NO voice. It's Sunday, and I still can't talk.

I do feel like I have a bit of a cold, but nothing major. Just tired, mainly. No sore throat, fever, etc.

When I was in high school, I lost my voice for an entire semester. I went to the doctor over and over again, and they couldn't find anything physically wrong, but when I would try to speak, just squeaks would come out. Towards the end of the semester, my voice came back as quickly as I lost it.

I've wondered, looking back, what that was about. What was going on in my life at the time, etc? I know I was seeing the high school counselor at the time, but I can't remember the details. I've wondered if my body was just shutting down so I couldn't tell.

And now, I'm kind of wondering the same thing. Why, after I blurted out what I did, did my voice disappear? I mean, I think I'm sick, but I also think the body has strange ways of protecting us sometimes.

So weird. I have band today and I can't sing.
