Voiceless Monday
I’ve been battling a nasty cold for the past week or so. This morning, it sucker punched me by taking my voice. Great. For my girls, this won’t be too big of a deal. I’ve instructed them through elaborate interpretive dance to keep their cell phones handy so I can text them. I can answer […]
