Sick-ish

I didn't go to school today. I am sick....sorta. I feel fine. Absolutely fine. (please dont tell my supervisor). But I can't talk. I have zero voice, so obviously I cannot teach kids. How can I possibly walk into that classroom and get their attention without being able to converse with them above a whisper? So I called in sick. So I can sit at home, do laundry, read the paper and play with Penny. It really is a great day.
