Adventures in Laryngitis

So, I've not had a voice since Sunday.

It's been interesting to see people's reactions to this. Sir Now Appearing had a game on, so I wrote in my notebook: Who's playing?

He wrote: The Bears.

I wrote: You don't have to write, you know.

He wrote: Oh yeah, you're right.

He's not the only one. The bank manager when I dropped off papers for work on Monday responded to my mouthing words by mouthing words back at me.

Fortunately, my girlfriend is a veteran of laryngitis, and knows how to babble at me and let me type back the answers.

I'm carrying a little notebook with everything I've needed to scrawl down, and since I'm visiting family now I can recycle the answers. Some of them get a lot of play. Hot tea, please probably has the most hits, right after Sorry, I've lost my voice. Another one I've used several times is Thanks. I had to get new glasses when I lost mine riverrafting last summer, in addition to My girlfriend made them for me! regarding my earrings. He works in the [redacted] department at [redacted] has been used at least three times.

And because I'm in fandom, I've had more than one occasion to use the Ew, incest page.
