diagnosis: crappy

I have mono. JOY! The sore throat I am currently experiencing could last anywhere from a week to several months. There’s no telling how long this will last, or what other ailments are coming my way. As such, I must respectfully decline from my offers of pinch-blogging on other peoples’ blogs as I hardly have the energy to get dressed in the morning. Also, skorloff’s offer to pinch-blog for me couldn’t have come at a better time.

As for how I got this pleasant virus, I have no idea. I generally offer a taste of my beer when I’m out drinking with people who have never had that beer before. Likewise, I generally accept offers to try beers I have not tried before. It could have been any number of people, whether or not they knew they carried the virus. All I know is, I hope E didn’t get it too, or if she did, that it won’t become active and make her feel crappy.

one time my 4th grade girlfriend told me we couldn't kiss because she had mono. but then she kissed my friend the very next day, and also all the time, so how does that work? regardless of that mess, i hope you get better--and that you have a better girlfriend than my 4th grade one, because that was a nightmare.

Hey P-man, don't sweat it. You'll get better. Just have a few avocados, and blame Mary, Queen of Scots.

Thoughts: 1. Oh no! Rest up, and may it be a short course. And remember... 2. ...at least you're symptomatic now, and not at the high point of a semester.

i had mono in college. the embarassing thing is that i got it from my roommate's boyfriend. we used to cook vegetarian japanese food together all the time. how could e have contracted it from you? :)
