An update
Haven't used this thing in bloody forever.
So most of you probably don't know that I've been not feeling so well for the past week or so. I got blood test results back today; I have mono. Yay. This is Great Timing, because I'm leaving for Germany in six days. My doctor said I could go, though, so whatever. I just have to lie low and take things easy. No wild parties for me. I am heartbroken. :-( (See? A frown-face. That means that I am heartbroken and devastated beyond belief.)
NB (no, not the kid, for those of you who know him; I'm using the Latin abbreviation): Unless I have kissed you recently, or through some other means have shared saliva with you, then you are not at risk for mono because of me. Go you.
All I hope, now, is that I don't also have strep. Because having both mono and strep throat would be... well, about twice as bad as having just mono. Heh.
This definitely explains my growing tiredness, weakness, fever, headache, tension, sore throat, etc., etc. At least there's a reason. I just wish it was easily treatable. Ah well.
I'm off to read some more, now. I've been isolating myself since I returned home because I didn't know whether or not what I had was terribly contagious. By now, alas, the tiredness/weakness is getting worse, and I don't even know if I want to do anything. Ah well.
Doesn't stop me from feeling lonely. Sigh.
Anyway, my mother needs the computer back, now, so this annoying self-pity entry will end. [self-deprecating smile]
Hopefully, I'll feel better enough that I can visit some of you before I leave.
