Well shit, I guess I have mono. I think I’ve had it going on 3 weeks now. I had this annoying achy phase with a mild fever. Then I felt fine for a week. This week I developed Neck Tumors and decided I should go see the doctor again. One quick blood test later and I am the proud owner of a strand of infectious mononucleosis. First off HAHA it’s the kissing disease. Hilarious! How many fucking people want to tell me that? Yes I get it, it’s transferred through saliva. No, I haven’t been making out with random people. No, Beth hasn’t been making out with other random people. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t paying attention and someone played ookie mouth with me. That’s my current theory and I’m pretty sure it’s highly credible.
Hmmm I think I sound like I’m in a bad mood. More than likely those damn swollen livers and spleens do that to you. Plus being put on the bench for ultimate, volleyball, and lifting for two weeks annoys me to no end. I’m sure I’ll be fine in a few weeks, I’m just tired of being tired, which happens to make me even more tired *sigh* I thought mid twenty somethings weren’t supposed to get a disease meant for high schoolers. Damn my lack of sexual exploration slash opportunity in high school. Fortunately my job is really relaxed and missing work despite having no official sick time hasn’t been much of a problem. Though I know me, and I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday until I feel like passing out trying to finish up some code for a deadline I want to hit.
Maybe you should go to the bait store and buy some leeches. I hear blood-letting is really good for curing mono.

I want someone to tell me exactly how communicable this disease is. I have yet to meet anyone (myself included) who got mono from playing tonsil hockey. Maybe the Mono Fairy roams the countryside at night, spitting into people’s mouths.
I hope you get better soon. When I see you at homecoming I’m punching you in the spleen. So, heads up.
