No Voice turned Cough...

So I had woken up in Amsterdam on Saturday with no voice for about an hour and then it came back for the rest of the day until close to dinner time when it slowly started getting worse. Then, Sunday morning I woke up with practically no voice and that lasted the entire day. I thought it was really strange because I wasn't sick and I hadn't done any yelling. However, I finally woke up with a cough this morning. :P I still don't have much of a voice although it is better than yesterday's no voice. Every breath I take makes me feel like I need to cough and it's no fun!

Embarrassing to sit through my lecture and seminar today as I hacked up a lung practically the entire time but I wasn't about to miss class if I didn't have to, but I was definitely glad when I could come back to my room and rest. Walking around or doing anything that makes me breath harder than breathing really slow while laying down is no fun so that's what I've done most of the day...lay down in bed. I got the cookbook I ordered in the mail which was nice because that gave me something to look at and I've also been reading some of the book that I started on the plane ride to Amsterdam.

Took a break from my busy laying to go out to dinner with the girls because I had already RSVP'd for Ally's birthday dinner at Papa Brown's. The cold air really does not feel good on my throat. :( But dinner was fun and tasty. I had a chicken, bacon and cheese panini and hot chocolate and toffee pudding for dessert.

Now I'm back in my room yet again laying down. I don't feel like I can catch a break from being sick! Before we headed out to dinner Rebecca gave me an Emergen-C and so hopefully that will help me get better faster.

It didn't happen today but as of this week I'm am going to try to finish at least most of one of my papers for my management class. It isn't due until the last day of semester but I figure towards the end I'll be wanting to study for exams instead of writing the paper so better to get it out of the way sooner than later.
