Frustration

It is so frustrating
when you have lots of stuff to do
and then you get a sore throat
and can't talk
so you email your husband
and have him call in sick for you
and so you have a whole day ahead
but don't feel well enough
to do anything
so you sit in you chair
and sip lots of liquids
and read
and nap
and watch tv
and nap
and croak thanks to your
husband who brings
a frappe home for you
and at the end of the day
your throat feels a little
better but you know somehow
it isn't and you probably
still can't talk
but maybe
tomorrow will be better
and you will feel like
doing something
even if it is just sitting
outside in the sun
