Weekend Wrap-Up
I lost my voice this weekend. I picked up a cold during the week and took a sick day to try to nip it in the bud. However, by Saturday my voice was hurting and I barely got through my two rehearsals. The killer was that I went out to a party at our friend's house. Trying to have a conversation over the loud sounds of a party was a bad idea. When I got up Sunday I didn't have much of a voice to speak of (pun). My daughter called me "Bruce the Shark" either from my gnarly teeth or my raspy voice.
I had a lot of details to keep track of this weekend. I had to remember to make the London Bridge Team announcement (Heidi had to do it for me due to my non-voice). I had to remember to test and diagnose the problems with our projector as well as prepare the back-up in case it went out on Sunday morning again. I had to remember to prepare and bring the handout to advertise the start of choir season. I had to remember that the youth choir needed to have the gym unlocked and equipment fired up for their rehearsal on Saturday. I had to remember to bring the Missions booklets to South City and set them out for people to pick up. I had to remember to bring the amp modeler with me to South City.
Somehow, as my brain attempted to keep track of all these details, I forgot to bring my guitar to rehearsal in South City. D'oh! Fortunately, Nathanael had a guitar that I could use at his home close by.

What a brutal weekend!
P.S. I have officially lost my voice too; I kinda like having no voice...keeps me from saying dumb things. ;)

Hey cuz, feeling your pain although I haven't lost my voice. Last weekend I had a cold and Sara the stomach flu. While feeling sick, I was still able to do the services, but this weekend I had to miss Sunday because I had the stomach flu and was home wishing I could puke.
Hope you feel better!
