Things I`ve noticed since Mono decided to inhabit my body:
1. I eat like a horse. I had read that you lose your appetite. The article failed to specify that that is only true for the first couple of weeks. Then you turn into half farm animal and stuff food down your throat like it`s your fulltime job. Sometimes when eating alone, it`s fun to imagine the look that would be on a first date`s face if they were sitting across from me.
2. My body feels like it has matured to the age of 90. This is reflected in my walking- slow, shuffling feet, slightly bent over if I`m not conscious of it. Fortunately my hair is still brown, and I don`t have crows feet around my eyes. However, with my birthday coming up, I might put a cane down on the list.
3. Everything is funnier (please see 1 as an example). I am guessing that this is because my brain is part jello right now, OR because of the decrease in human interaction, thereby making me even more awkward and strange. The lack of human interaction makes me even more prone to initiate conversations with people on the tube, outside of the tube, the bus driver... This is not a bad thing, but with my body turning 90 this year, my hearing isn`t as good, and I usually talk way too loud, making the person next to me shuffle away a bit more.
4. I can listen to the same song 10 times in a row and still want to listen to it again. This would also be something that a first date would roll their eyes at.
5. My dreams are much more vivid. This usually makes me more grateful that I never remember them in the morning.
6. I could sleep anywhere, anytime. Nap time at 8pm... why not!
