I've been insanely sick the last few days-- my weekend consisted of laying in bed all day and growing a spectacular collection of lumps on my neck. For one second I was kind of hoping it was the plague, because who could ever have a better story than "So, did I ever tell you about the time that I had the bubonic plague?" But, never fear, it's apparently mono. Who the heck knows where it came from, since I don't know anyone who has mono right now, but whatever. I only know two things-- mono sucks, and cortisone pills are amazing. For real, they make me feel 150% better. I'm still trying to rest though, because that's just an illusion and I know I'm not really better at all yet.
I seriously lucked out though, getting the worst bit of it this week, because this week is not super busy for me. Taking some time off from classes is not really gonna hurt me too much right now. And one good thing I guess is that if I'm not really supposed to be out and about, I can't spend money! Haha, gotta look for the silver lining somewhere...

I had mono when I was younger... it was NOT fun. :( Hope you feel better soon!!!
Is it possible that your bf is a carrier but didn't realize it? I read about it, and over 90% of adults are infected with the virus (and most people get infected without becoming sick!).
It doesn't really matter at this point, though if he is a carrier, you'd be able to continue kissing him (the bright side! ;))
That sucks.. feel better soon!!
My sister had mono for MONTHS. It was pretty bad. Take some time and just SLEEP!
