Parenting with lost voice!

I’ve had a cold thing for a few days. Sore throat, sneezing but generally ok. Then I woke up with a croak instead of a voice. I can speak but the sound comes in and out and it catches my throat making me cough. I feel rotten now and my period also decided to arrive just to make everything worse!

I also have a 5 year old who seems to be taking the “if I don’t hear it, it’s not happened“ approach. Luckily DH was around most of yesterday but he’s going out later to the football and DS has a haircut booked. (I can’t cancel or I’ll lose the deposit - don’t ask that’s a whole other thread!). So I have at least 7 hours with no back up and a trip to the hairdressers and I’m feeling sorry for myself!

Any tips on keeping DS occupied with as little speaking/movement as possible required from me?
