I stayed home today. Last night, I started feeling really achey. I thought it was just my period (because this period has been giving me the worst cramps I've ever had. Seriously.), but I took my temperature and it was almost 100. I've been having this weird sinus-y thing going on lately- my ears have been popping, stuffy/runny nose, bad headaches, etc -but in the past 2 or 3 days, one of the glands on the left side of my throat has swelled up to the size of a plump grape, and feels firm to the touch. It hurts like hell to swallow on that side, and my left tonsil is COVERED in pus. Disgusting.

So I went to sleep early, woke up at 1-something, 2-something, and 5-something. Took my temperature again at 530am and it was almost 101. So I told my mom I wasn't going to school, took some advil and went back to sleep. Woke up around 10, and my mother called the doctor. We went, they did a throat culture and said that it wasn't strep. And then she asks "Have you had Mono before? Because the first thing I think of when I see a throat that looks this bad is Mono." So I told her I had Mono two years ago (exactly two years ago, actually. The first week of school I missed was exam week, and I didn't come back until after February vacation), and I told her that some of the symptoms I'm having feel similar to those I had when I had Mono.

They took blood, and I'll get the results back tomorrow.

I swear, if I have mono again, people are going to die. Mono was the worst thing that ever happened to me. And that's really the last thing I need right now. I've got so much shit that I need to do, and Mono would only serve to throw me off course.

Tugh.

Somebody just shoot me, please.
