Oh my freak. I am so sick of being sick. It's terrible!
So I started feeling awful the night of March 30th. Yeah! That was almost three weeks ago! So I was home for conference, and when I drove back that Sunday night, I was just crying by the time I reached Park City. I felt awful. So I stayed home from school all day Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday I went to a clinic where they told me I just had a cold and I should get some rest and it will go away. Well it didn't. But I went back to school and went to work for the next two weeks. Only.... I wasn't getting better at all. In fact I was getting worse. Last Thursday I got up to get to school but by the time I got there I was almost in tears because my throat hurt so badly. I got a priesthood blessing and went home right after that. When I got home, I pulled out a flashlight to check my throat and found it visibly swollen, flaming red, and covered in white spots. So I went back to the clinic. Surprise! I have mononucleosis. And since I didn't know I had mono, I've been around tons of people over those two weeks. My bad everybody.
But mono really sucks. It's a virus so there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. (AND they had to do a blood test to see if I had it.. ..... I. Hate. Needles.) So all you can do is sleep a lot, (which you really have no choice because you're exhausted and it's hard to just keep your eyes open) and wait for it to go away. The Doctor told me not to worry, "it can last anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months". Oh great! Thanks Doc! That sure makes me feel better. Anyway. Totally sucks.
So I have been waiting to get better, and I think I'm slowly recovering. But once I say that I'll get feel awful again a little while later.... I haven't practiced my instrument; I keep falling asleep during class; I don't even go to some of my classes. Basically I'm just not motivated at all. So... there ya have it. Mono is awful. Someone just make it go away.
And NO. I DID NOT GET MONO FROM SWAPPING SPIT. Oddly enough, I got it from being at work. Another girl there had it and I'm pretty sure I was cashier after her one day.
If you have any further questions just Google mono or something. This website also has quite a bit of information: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001617/

Easter
On Saturday, I drove to Orem to meet Jayde at UVU. He was watching the track meet there. It was pretty cool. Go Union. Go Audrey. But after that, I let Jayde drag me around to find him some new shoes. A little backwards there - Jayde was the one wanting to do the shopping. haha.
After that, and after a faulty gps, we made it to the Jones house where Spencer, Tanner and Nate were with their cousins in their annual epic Easter egg coloring extravaganza. This year's theme for eggs was Heroes vs. Villains. So I decorated my one "Spiderman" egg. It was fun and I'm really glad I was there because that was the only "Easter" thing I did this year. (Cache did tell me about everything I missed back in Roosevelt though.)
I called my family Easter morning and talked to Cache mostly :) and then to Brynne for a while. I'm really excited and very much looking forward to being home with them again. I miss the little people. And even Chuck too. (And another significant person..)
But I went to church with Julie, and then later I went to Angela's house.
Angela's mom made a really good dinner but before that, I played a few games with her family. It was so fun!! I have not laughed that hard in..... I have no idea, but I laughed so hard. Angela and her brothers are so funny. Actually her mom is too. Actually their whole family is funny. But I had such a good time; always laughing. So thank you Angela :) I had so much fun. When (note: I said "when") we live together next fall, it will be a party every day. But now I think that Angela definitely needs to meet my family now. (That would make it official Angela.) ;) So mom, I'm going to bring Angela to Roosevelt with me sometime soon. :) We just can't play Clue because Angela will win and we can't play Apples to Apples because I will win.
