"Mommy...dere's a porcupine in my froat"
I've had absolutely no voice for the last two days. I'm on complete vocal rest today which means not one peep from me. I'm drugged up with cough medicine and feeling quite dizzy even just sitting here. I always have this fear every time I get sick like this that I might lose my voice forever. I think that may be my biggest fear...not being able to sing. It's my life force. But I just say to myself, "Self, get a hold now. You're not dying and you'll get your voice back SO RELAX ALREADY!" My Gramps always used to say "chin up, buck-a-roo" to cheer me up. I liked that and it made me laugh when I thought of it just now.
I was planning on going to church today. It feels like I haven't been forever and I really just wanted to go and listen and enjoy. After taking my cough medicine though, I slept right through it. I guess there are times when your body kicks you in the ass and let's you know when you need to just rest and take care of yourself.
Last night I had the privilege of going to the birthday party for the great Toni Dolce. She's a friend of mine from college and the craziest narcissistic person I’ve ever met. I love her though. She rented out the second floor of Tonic, the bar where she works and invited hundreds of her closest friends and family. There was a guest book, a cake with a picture of herself painted on it, a PowerPoint presentation of Toni Trivia projected on a big screen, and a special guest performance TBA…Toni Dolce. She entertained us with two songs and thanked us for coming to celebrate in her words, “well, ME!” Ah, I love this girl. There’s just nobody quite like her. But, she’s truly sincere and she’s been a great friend. She’s driven and I know she will accomplish anything she puts her mind to. We lunch on Wednesday…it’s already in her Blackberry…and I can’t wait to talk to her one on one when she’s not trying to be the socialite.
I’m kind of spinning now, so this is it for today. Back to my healing process of veggin’ out.
Day’s off RULE!
