Singing the Blues.

It's now official- I got the blood test results from the doctor today, and I tested positive for both Mono and Epstein Barr Virus. It still doesn't make a lot of sense, because EBV causes Mono, but the doctor said you can test positive for Mono (which is of course more mild and isn't recurring) but negative for EBV. I guess older people get worse symptoms, and both tests were positive for me. Besides the bad news that it will most likely recur after a few years, from stress to the immune system, they also found that I haven't even peaked yet so my symptoms will get worse before they get better.

At first I was worried because I work with the Demilles. They're already tired and exhausted- and I wouldn't be able to help out (I've seriously spent the last week sleeping or sitting on the couch). Luckily my cousin Heather is looking for a job, met the family and is interested (hopefully her school schedule will cooperate). At least they won't be left high and dry. Now my concern is money for bills. Any ideas for someone who has no energy?

Good things:
1. I got weighed at the doctor's office, and I weigh less than I have in five years. Wahoo!
2. I've got plenty of time to watch the Cosby Show- what could be more hilarious?
3. More family time
... more to come as I keep thinking ;)
