Sounds of Silence

Lydia has lost her voice. It has been strangely quiet in this house for the last couple of days. They say that men speak about 25,000 words per day, women speak about 50,000. By my estimation, Lydia speaks about 75,000 words per day. Loquacious--that's our Lydia. I know she can't wait to be able to talk at full speed again. We have the humidifier going in her room to help in her recovery. In the meantime, the rest of us are rather enjoying the "sounds of silence."
