Can't Sing

I have been coughing for 2 weeks and even though I've been on Amoxicillin, since last Tuesday, and my voice isn't as husky as it used to be, I still can't sing.

I had to pass on singing with my choir this morning and I didn't sing out in the congregation either! Then, they sang Rock of Ages (There is no Rock. There is no God like our God), as a postlude. Darn it! I love that song, but no way could I have held out the long notes in the refrain. I decided not to sing today, so that hopefully by Easter Sunday in 2 weeks, I will be able to sing.

I hated not being able to sing in church. For me, church is all about the music. I have loved singing in church, since I was a kid! Even though sometimes, it's hard to get out of bed at 6am, on the Sundays that I sing, I know I would die without it! LOL!

Just realized that I forgot to write about the zoo trip! We went on April 1st and had a great time, despite 40-something temps, a cool breeze and gray skies. I don't know if I have ever been to the zoo this early in the year. The wearm-weather animals were all inside, since it was a bit chilly for some of them to be outside. We got to see the new big cat's display - Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country. They have tigers walking around right in front of you, with just a plexiglass window between you and them. The great part is that the plexiglass doesn't show in the photographs, so it looks like you are right in the display, with the animals. They have 2 spotted hyenas in there, too! They are pretty big!
