...Yeah, I wanted a funny title. ANYWAY.

I'm sure a few of you have heard about this horrible Swine Flu that's going around, and I'm not going to be melodramatic and claim that OMGZ I HAZ EET.

Nah, this is just a normal tickle in the throat. And honestly, it could be a lot worse. I cough every now and then (REALLY BAD FOR YOUR VOICE GAH) but compared to the rest of my family, I've got it easy. ...It might also have to do with the fact that I quarintined them to the den, and have been sleeping on the other side of the house, away from them. >_>

I've taken Dayquil, Airborne, Zinc pills, Vitamin C pills, and I've been drinking room-temp water, and slightly warm caffeine free Mate. (That's a green tea from south America- mostly Argentina)

There's also an audition I really, really wanna do, but I don't want to strain my voice and then lose it. N' I feel like I'm running out of time (even though the auditions don't have a deadline, I'd really hate to miss out, I've been so stoked about it.)

Anybody have any suggestions? D: Really, this is partly to vent, partly to ask for you more experienced fellows on any techniques that might help my throat get better sooner?

:3 Thanks in advance!
