Winter affects us all in different ways.

I'm knocking on wood while I'm still at home and there is still real wood in my life when I tell you that I don't have mono yet. Or, at least I don't think so. There were those twelve hours of sleep I slept a few nights ago, and the nap I took earlier that day. But those could totally be written off as non-mono by the following things:

• Being tired
• Winter
• Darkness
• Horizontal surfaces
• Being myself
• Cuddly dog who hates winter also
• Food intake: sleep helps with the digestion
• Absence of friends who teased me with a visit home for "break". Which my brain mistakenly translates as "home permanently".
  

Speaking of that cuddly dog, I found her chewing on a tiny glass shard today. And that's the second time I've found her doing this in a week. There was no evidence of blood or mouth-cutage, but riddle me this: Which is more concerning: Finding glass shards frequently in the house, or that I have a canine who enjoys glass shards as snacks?
