I’m slowly chugging along this morning with my work, but ever so slowly.
I am still feeling wiped out and probably need another few days of total rest before I get back to normal again. I was trying to do too much the past few weeks and now my body is telling me that I need to slow down a bit. My knees and shoulders are in pain, my voice is almost gone, and my energy level is quite low compared to how it normally is. This tells me that I need to slow down and heed my HVAC supplier’s advice and take a week of rest from all of it. My voice is my main worry right now because it has been four days since singing and it is still raw and scratchy. I think my air conditioner in my bedroom at night is drying out my vocal cords and I may need to sleep without any climate control system in my room at night. The problem is that it gets really hot in my tiny room and I can’t sleep if it is too warm all night in there. This is why I bought the mini split a/c unit in the first place, but I don’t want the cooling system to dry out my voice to the point that I can’t sing anymore. Maybe I will try one or two nights to see how my voice is in the morning and if I can even run the unit anymore while I am trying to sleep. My poor a/c unit won’t be happy about this!
