Mono

I thought I had a cold.
I thought I had strep throat.
I thought I had the flu.

But one sharp needle later...
You tell me that I have mono.
It's the blood that proved it.

So now I must rest for how long???????
Six weeks?
There must be some mistake.
I have bills to pay, classes to take, and house cleaning to do.
Please! Please! Please tell me that your joking right?

What? No mistake?
Oh well I could use a nap.

What's that?
Pay the bill on my way out?

Looking at the bill...
I don't have that kind of money.
I'm too sick to work two jobs.
I think I'll just go home before I sob.
