Peace And Quiet Is Not As Good As It Sounds

About a year ago (or maybe it was longer than that; I don't know) my little brother got sick and had a super raspy voice for a couple of months. Last week, I got my eighth cold in two years and as always happens, my voice got all raspy about the third day of being sick. Usually, the raspiness lasts two, maybe three days, but today is my seventh day being unable to talk normally! The only thing that finally cured my little brother was not talking at all for a week. Since I really don't want to talk this way for the next two months, I am trying to limit how much I speak. It's kind of hard to do at work since I have to answer the phones, but last night I didn't talk at all from about 6:00 PM until I woke up this morning (except for one time while I was watching Gilmore Girls and I couldn't not laugh out loud). EJ said it was the most quiet our apartment has ever been and he insisted on leaving the TV on since the quiet weirded him out.

Luckily, there are products for invalids like myself, like the Hand Clapper and the THUNDERSTIX® Noisemakers.
