My Wife Has Lost Her Voice

I know, careless, right ? It's true though, my wife has lost her voice. She thinks it happened when were in the car yesterday. Being the kind, caring and considerate husband that I am, I have been out to the car and had a really good look but I couldn't find it.

Oh well, life moves on, it'll turn up I'm sure. There has been a 'bug' doing the rounds of late, sore throats and the like, so we're attributing it to that. No opera for her this weekend and weirdly, we'll all be talking in whispers.

I was in two minds (Only two ?) this morning, in which direction to take with this post. So, I'm

going to cover all bases. The first of which, is my recent craving for peanuts. Now, I am definitely one for 'listening' to my body and taking action, rather than just ignoring it. Has to be said though, first thing in the morning it does sound like an orchestra tuning up. So many odd sounds, creaks, whistles, sighs and grunts.

Normally when I get a 'craving' I assume it is my body telling me I am lacking in something. Then ensues a binge on whatever it has decided upon, though that only seems to last a day. This 'peanut' thing has been going on for a couple of weeks and as yet there seems to be no let up. I don't mind though, I quite like peanuts and they're not bad for you, unless of course you're getting through a couple kilograms a day but hey, we could say that about most things.

Oh, they're not good if you're allergic to them either.

I wonder if it's because of the exercise ? Maybe I'm in need of protein to balance my levels due to the extensive workouts I'm doing.(Hahahaha) It could be the 'fat' content, though I'm not sure if I need more of that. I'm not that overweight but my BMI is 29 I think, but that obviously doesn't take into account my build. I like to think 'stocky' but as the years progress it's more inclined to be referred to as portly. 5'10" and just shy of 15 stone. Pah. It's just numbers,

I'm good with it all and that's what counts. Talking of numbers.

The other topic, which is topical, is that today's date is a palindrome. 02022020. I was going to spiel on about that and then I found that both @Jules73 and @judym have already penned posts all about it. Rather than me repeat it all, you can read them by clicking on there user names. I am sure the numerologists will have plenty to say about it. I'd never really thought about numbers in this way, words are cool but numbers, meh.

My favourite word of this type is 'rotavator', even more so than 'radar' but it's a close run thing. Kayak is also quite nice. There are sentences but on the whole, they don't really make much sense. Just stretching things too far. For example:

"A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal, Panama." Too much for me.

That's it then, anything else happening to day ? Silly me, of course there is. It's SuperBowl Sunday. For all those fans of American Football, I wish you an awesome day and may your teams be victorious.

Last one and then I'm gone, there are other 'National' days celebrated today but then it just turns into a list. This is my favourite.

Today is National Hedgehog Day. So drive carefully.

Have a stunning Sunday.

Twack Romero.

you have to stop giving your wife a reason to scream at you. After all she works hard everyday while you stay home and play with the computer, come on give her a break. Ha Ha. 02022020 is almost gone here and not to return for 900 years there about. I wonder how many lottery tickets where sold today above the normal average? you have a good one when you wake up in the morning it will be 02032020 and the earth will still be here.

I love your replies Edward. It's been quite a day for banter at home, as you can imagine.
I hadn't thought about lottery tickets, I bet you're right though.

Hi Twack, sorry to hear about your wife losing her voice. As far as the peanuts and excessive exercise is considered you have to find a balance. Drink a lot of fluids same as your wife.
I found this when I did a search for why someone may lose their voice.

If you are craving nuts it could be an indication of low Vitamin E levels.

Best wishes,
Michael

Thank you Michael for your kind thoughts. As yet, the exercise is not excessive and I am very conscious of not trying to do too much. I am also managing to stay well hydrated, more than ever before.
Really appreciate the link, I shall read the article fully and see if there is anything I can pass on.
I have just bought some multi-vitamins, so that might aid in my Vitamin E levels. Who knew that was a factor.

Again, thank you for taking the time to look into this and pass on your findings.

Okay, here's one Alaskan word you might find fun...qiviut...it's the inner soft fur of the muskox that is used to weave incredibly warm items, like scarves. It's a neat word because there is no "u" after the "q"...makes it a goodword to remember for scrabble..

Look for your wife's voice in one of your pockets...could she have left it there?

Thank you Fran, I have written that word down so I will remember it. I haven't played Scrabble for years, I used to love playing it. No one can sit still long enough any more.
Good idea about my pockets, I hadn't thought of looking for them there. Nice one. 😉

Twack,

Sorry about your wife’s voice too! Really! Now if she had “misplaced” it in the same place as your - just wonderful- sense of humor, it would be right out here in the open for ALL of us to see!

Ps Looks like your extensive workouts are paying off - keep it up with the pull-ups! 😳😉

Best
Gerry 👍🏻

Like what you did there Gerry.
Hmm, pull-ups are not really my thing. There's this thing called body to weight ratio, it just doesn't end well. I'd need arms like legs to do them.

Haha!!
