This morning I woke up with full blown tonsillitis. I could barely whisper and Vincent thought it was pretty funny that I couldn't shout at my staff. I went to work for the morning to set them on the path I wanted but then went off and slept the rest of the day. While I was sleeping Eve AKA Mrs DeMello AKA Madam arrived, but I didn't even get a chance to say, or whisper, hello.
