I am speechless

After spending over 3 hours coughing in the wee hours of the morning, until my ribs and sides hurt, I am now without a voice.  I feel worse today than I have in 2 days.  I am disappointed.  I thought by now I would be back at work.  I also thought we would have a washer by today.  I guess it is time to impose on other senior couples to use their washers.  We better scout around tonight.
