Lost voice

I've been able to breathe still slightly better today. With a few instances of congestion which were really bad. However, I had to ask my boss to let me work written cases today. All day. Because my voice was cracking and fading so badly I could not speak. I made it through like one or two calls this morning before I gave in. Just wasn't going to work.

I'm rather slow at written cases. I strive a lot more for accuracy on those than speed. So, a result of today is that my case count was low. That's on top of being down a couple of hours on Monday. And last week's vacation is on the same check. So my next check is going to pretty much suck.

After work, I tried getting up and moving around. Could barely walk through the house without getting winded so badly I had to sit. 

Hmm. I do know my allergies were horrible as a child. So bad I would bleed from my nose and eyes. They constantly had me on Dramamine just to be able to function. Does that mean I was a drug addict before I could walk? Yikes. It's my understanding that at the time I was the youngest child to ever undergo a full battery of dermal skin allergy testing, where they inject tiny amounts of allergens under the skin. 142 injections. That was how I learned about my penicillin allergy. 

Oh, well. Hopefully my voice will be okay tomorrow. Better now, though not back to normal yet.

Well, the tomato plants are still surprising me this year. I have about 4 ft between rows. Yet they are bushing out so much that it is becoming difficult to walk through the 4 ft space because they are stretching all the way across the walkways! I also need to tie them up and give them more support, even though I just did that on Sunday!

I tried something a little different with the cannabis plants. I spread some powdered garlic and cayenne around the plants. Hoping that does some good.
