The one where I am told I should be taking 1-900 calls

I've been telling people I sound like Estelle from Friends (Joey's agent), as I lost my voice at Relay for Life on Friday night and I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT BACK. I spent a lot of time on the phone at work, and it's just not good that I can't really talk. Today I'm to the point where while I don't sound anything like myself, I can at least verbalize. It's exhausting trying to project though.

Couple this with the fact that I had some sort of allergic reaction to SOMETHING, and one of my eyes has swollen up and nearly closed. Ick. Better not be pink eye - I've got too much to do.

They worked on putting the floor of my deck down today, and this is where it's at:

Tomorrow they will finish the flooring and then we will evaluate ordering the railing which will go around the raised portion. Then we'll think about my bench along the left corner of the raised portion, and the pergola will be topped with 1x1 cross beams (and we need to paint it). We also will add shutters to the windows ... and will clean that greasy stain on the wall from the grill. It's coming together! And it doesn't really look it from this photo, but it's huge!
