The Beauty and Misery of Silence

I've been silent on this blog for the past little while for good reason.  The same reason I'm currently silent in life.

I've got a nasty cold/flu virus that's been wreaking havoc on my 36 week pregnant body for the past 8 days.  I'm miserable.  Sore throat, violent coughing, fever, aches and now, the worst of the worst...

I've lost my voice.  For 5 days now.  Seriously.

I've had to take time off work because it's my job to argue talk, and I can't be a very effective advocate if I can't speak.  I'm going crazy!

The beauty of not talking all the time is that I listen more. I think my family likes that.

EZ has also been very cute throughout my sickness.  When he talks to me, he whispers {because I'm whispering}, and says in the sweetest, empathetic voice, "Awwww, sick."  You can't make this stuff up.  EZ is awesome.
