Laryngitis and Continual Learning

So I finished my zpac and the prednazone they put me on for the pneumonia, and I feel fine. Fever is fully gone. Only thing left is this terrible absent, squeek of a voice I have. I finally stopped into CVS minute clinic one morning before work and had them take a look at my throat. He said it looks fine, but it's hoarse and strained because my larynx is swollen and I have laryngitis. He also told me that the only way it heals is to not talk much. For those of you who know me... I have a hard time shutting up. Plus, in the line of work I'm in, I'm often on the phone or answering questions, or explaining processes to new employees and getting them set up. So it is HARD to just SHUT UP. Man oh man.
So I've been trying. Texting more than calling. Emailing more than talking. But I'm still not quiet all the time. Also it was awesome when one of my employees straight up asked me if when I talk on the phone if anyone has asked if I was a man. I was like Gee, thanks... no, noones said that to me, but thanks for making me feel more self-conscious about it.
Other than that, life just continues on. Never slows down, but that's my own fault. A friend was telling me I just need to chill out and let things happen. I stress about things I can not control too much. But sometimes it's hard to just step back and say, okay I can't do anything about this, so I'm not going to worry about it. Haven't learned how to really do that yet, but I'm working on it. Life is a continual growing process and I still feel like I'm learning new things each day. Which feels good. I feel like I'm at an okay spot in my life where things just are and I can see where there headed to a certain degree. Job-wise I feel like I made a pretty good decision with human resources. I really like working with employees, payroll, all the benefits, and I feel like I'm the go-to person in a lot of cases. It feels good contributing in a way that I see effects the whole company. Hiring, especially all the international stuff has been great and an eye opener to just how different cultures can be. I'm also enjoying being in school and the things that I learn there and how they apply to every day work situations and businesses. Speaking of which, I took a break from my finance homework to blog, and I really should get back to it. So until next time. Peace.
