Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.
I have mono. It isn't too fun. I am tired, and my throat hurts. I sleep til 11am and I don't get to go to school. Yeah, so I am a little lucky. I learned some pretty interesting facts about mono, and I will share them with you. *Some people carry mono, aka EBF, all of their lives, but never produce the symptoms. But they spread it to other people. *Symptoms include -fever -sore throat * -enlarged lymph nodes, especially in the neck (CMV) * -malaise (vague ill feeling) * -frequent tiredness or fatigue * -loss of appetite -muscular aches or stiffness* (I have the ones that are starred) *Mono can cause the spleen to become enlarged. If this happens, and you are tackled or something, the spleen can rupture and cause you to bleed to death. *Mono can be spread through the exchanging of saliva or tears. Those are pleasant huh? Being sick has some advantages. My wonderful boyfriend whom I love has stopped by a couple of times. He even brought me a gorgeous sketch book. He is great. Saturday we, as in Jon and I, are going to Jon's friend's party. It is his birthday and he is having a toga party. I am really excited. on Sunday, it will be PT's last sermon. This won't be too pleasant. It is also his going away party. Okay, no more talk about him. I have so much homework since I have been gone the whole week. But I am going to go play SIMS now. I think. I don't really want to, but I just might. Advice for the day: DANCE!
