i have nearly completly lost my voice. i had forgotten about it because no one else has been home to talk to so when i went to the bakery this morning i was fairly confident that i would be able to ask for a multigrain cob. instead of 'multigrain cob' i mad a few whispers and squeaks. the lady in the shop said 'excuse me?' and i managed to say 'cob' in my loudest whisper, and then motion to the grained ones.. the lady laughed at me. gave me the cob, and laughed some more. how rude.
i need to do some grocery shopping. i think i'll walk, it's not far at all and if i catch the bus i will have to speak. i don't think i'll have to speak at bi-lo.... all these things to think about... i don't think i'd enjoy being mute forever. although it's sort of nice in a way. i feel like i'm in my own little world.
I was mute for a day, too, once. Bad cold. It was relieving, actually, to for once have a completely legit reason for not saying anything and being temporarily cleared of the obligation to speak up.
