Mono brings out the best/worst in me......

Some Pros

  • Weight loss
  • reason for extra sleep
  • definite decreased appetite
  • it makes me remember to take my vitamins along with my regime of dayquil/benadryl/any pain killer I can get my hands on.
  • Im hopefully half way done with this illness! 2ish more weeks to go and I should fell up to par!

Some Cons

  • No alcohol drinking at the joint birthday party. Totally sucked except for Adam was wildly entertaining. I did end up with a half naked man poster which I love! (however I was informed that it CAN NOT hang in our bedroom. Sheesh...what a spoil sport ;) )
  • Not being able to eat anything solid. I tried to have a dorito the other day and regretted that choice about 2 seconds into it.
  • Having to sleep with a heating pad on your ears sucks. I wake up looking like a sweaty warthog (Swollen glands and bright red face). Not that I have ever actually seen a sweaty warthog, but that is definately what I picture it in my head to look like.....just go with it ;) .
  • Its lonely when you are the only one awake at 5 am.

Alicia, I'm so sorry that you have mono. That has to be so incredibly rough. Praying that you get well soon! By the way, I just LOVE your humor. You are hilarous and whitty. Seriously. What a talent you have!

I'm soo sorry that the poster can't go in your bedroom :-( Adam was very entertaining...we'll just have to do it again soon!

Hope you are starting to feel better. Let's play soon!
