I didn\u2019t sleep well and now I have a slight fever, my throat is sore and I\u2019m barking like a seal. My ears are getting itchy as well. I\u2019m losing this battle! Throughout the day, I took steam baths to keep my lungs clear. If I get strep or an ear infection, I\u2019ll need antibiotics. For now though, it\u2019s bronchitis, and there\u2019s not much you can do but rest.<\/p>\n<p>Though sick, I started on my chip in earnest. I put in four hours, which was probably two hours too many. It wiped me out for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of silly things happened today. First off, one of my friends came by to drop off food. It was really sweet of her. I didn\u2019t realize until that moment that I had lost my voice \u2013 I couldn\u2019t make a sound! I hadn\u2019t talked to anyone in over two days, so it came as a shock to me. My dog was also in her car. He could see me, and I sort of expected him to jump out the window to say hi to me, but he was thrilled to be in a car so he wasn\u2019t going to move. He was happier to be with my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Later that evening, I watched \u201cQuest for Fire.\u201d Because I had fans and a humidifier on, I opted to turn on closed captioning. Now think about that for a second. Quest for Fire\u2026 all I saw on the screen were phrases like \u201cAwk quarg oot!\u201d or notations like \u201cprehistoric language\u201d or \u201chopeful grunting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crap!
