I wanna talk.

I spent all day on my couch yesterday.

Literally.

Allll day.

By the evening, though, I was finally feeling a little more human than I thought possible. Seriously! I had gone from fever-and-aches-and-pains-and-chills (and moans and groans) to "okay, lazy bum! get up and be useful!" in just twenty four hours.

(No, I am not a lazy person. Stir crazy, I have gone. Yessirreebob! Off the deep end of stir crazy.)

I turned on some of my favorite music while I dragged myself off the couch and cleaned up the house in a desperate attempt to accomplish something - anything - with my day.

Bad call.

Right as the chorus of said favorite song came blasting over the speakers, I mindlessly took a deep breath to belt it out, my own personal karaoke.

Um.

Oops.

I forgot one fundamental fact of the day: I have no voice.

You try blowing massive amounts of air past inoperable vocal chords. It ain't gonna work. Just saying. But, hey, at least now I have experienced life without talking -- and appreciate even more the beauty of the spoken word.

Now pass me my soap box.

I'm gonna talk your ear off.

:-P
