The most unexpected frustration about not being able to speak is feeling rude when you’re out in public. Just going to the store offers a series of opportunities to say, “thank you” or “excuse me” and when you can’t physically utter words, it feels impolite. I am currently on day 3.5 of some sort of laryngitis that has rendered me mute.  I am very grateful for self-checkouts and only wish my fave boba place had one so I could order a hot honey lemon drink w/ jellies without using some sort of awkward note.

I hope my voice comes back for next week because we have some hootin’ and hollerin’ to do Friday night at The Viper Room as The Shakers reunite for one night only! Woot!
