Day 9 - and i've lost my voice

Maybe it's a detox symptom.... maybe I'm just sick

Well I have no idea if this is related to the cleanse or just another virus that I frequently pick up at work but when I finished work last night my voice was fine, when my boyfriend called last night it was sounding a bit 'Madge from Neighbours' and throughout today it has slowly disappeared. Now I sound like a pubecent boy and I don't like it. Luckily my throat doesn't feel too sore so I took the last hour off work and came home for some hot maple syrup and lemon (decided to skip the cayenne pepper), which bizarrely tastes really different to the lemonade so it makes a nice change. I also drank a pint of water with some lemon squeezed in it and then allowed myself to eat some syrup off the spoon. It was so yummy! I guess it's the first strong flavour I've had in a while and I really had to stop myself or I think I would have just kept on eating it. I hope it's ok to do it this way but I guess it is given that some people advice taking the cayenne pepper separately so why not the syrup?
On an illness related note I'm producing a lot of mucus at the moment which I'm sure is a detox symptom. I've heard other people mention and increase in phlegm as the body tries to throw everything out. I've been doing netti pots to try and get it all out which helps but results in snot all over the bottom of my bath. Delighful.

But it's DAY 9 so I can't complain!!!! Tomorrow will see me drinking the last of the lemonade. I'm going to a gig straight from work tomorrow night so I'm going to have to take some with me.... hope they don't search my bag and question it because I don't really won't to explain all this to some cockney bouncer!

Any other news? No I don't think so. Apart from that I've had a crappy day at work with lots of people winding me up, not helped by the lack of voice. I was supposed to be going out tonight to see an author speak but at the moment I just feel like bumming on the sofa so we'll see.

Ooh, just tried talking to myself and the voice sounds a wee bit better. I think it was having to constantly raise my voice to the kids today which strained it so tomorrow I will take it easy and let my body enjoy it's last cleanse.
