I had to do a presentation to a class today about all the joy and intrigue of spoken word poetry. It was short, but I mostly talked and only did like one poem, and my voice was all faded and diminishing and I could hear myself and I was getting on my own nerves! I have a performance and workshop on thursday for a conference too and I hope that it is better by then! It is tough when your voice is your money maker, cause colds happen but classes still need to get taught, workshops still need to get facilitated, poems need to be performed, etc...
All weekend I only ate soup, yesterday too. Today was the first day that I ate a real meal. It wasn't until dinner and I still didn't eat the amount I would normally eat. I haven't even been hungry! UGH! At least I can kind of smell now and breath out of my nose, but that might change once I lie down and try to sleep, which I guess I should do soon, since sick people need their rest, and I do have to work tomorrow, and well every day until Sunday.
Some poeple have only one job, I don't know if I envy them tho. Granted I have to do several jobs while I am trying to get better, but it could be worse, at least I can look forward to variety! And mostly it is a few hours here, then a few hours there. I think that I would be really ill if I had to stay in one place 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week. Plus, the added perk is that some of my work I can do while in my jammies, under my blankets sipping soup and drinking tea. Of course that isn't the work I have to do this week... but everything can't always be roses and fluffy bunnies.
