'Til the edge of night

Mononucleosis. Wow. That just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? In Swedish we say "körtelfeber" - gland fever - and that's so much easier to pronounce. At least if you're Swedish and have a doctoral degree in medicine apparently. Poor people. And poor Englishman who has this mononucleosis. And poor me who lost the bet about how they were just gonna prescribe some antibiotics and rest. And poor us for not being able to kiss in about three weeks. More or less. I'm still very happy with my life though. (Between you and me - I feel a bit high.) I'm not really sure there was a point to all this - maybe just a bit of gloating that after several years' studies and work doctors still can't pronounce "mononucleosis" whereas I can. Yea, that makes me a bit proud actually. Suckers.
