You might as well throw the mono in there too, vw.
But then it just looks like I'm showing off!
ETA: (Sorry. That was a bad joke.)
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
vw, I would change:
I’ve been taking it easy since Wednesday and am feeling a little better, but need to ease back into my schedule a bit, which means I need to focus on the essentials.
to
I am feeling a little better, but my doctor says I need to take it easy.
and
I feel it is in my best interest to not meet with you or visit your classes this week.
to
I will be unable to meet with you or visit your classes this week.

Because books.
Poor bug! You need some TLC and vitamin C and sunshine and rest.
Thank you for posting about the Firefly marathon! It's making my Monday *much* better. Watching Mal get tortured is never a bad thing.
What?

The status is NOT quo.
Yes, and some indication that you will provide them with doctor note etc. Also, I would say something about how you know how inconvenient this is for them (always good to make the teacher feel better in these situations) and how you are determined not to let it stop you from successfully completing your classes.

These aren't my profs. These are the profs whose classes I'm tutoring for.

Oh, oops! Sorry, I misread.

It's ok. I added the inconvenience part, though. That was good :).

Ok. Profs all e-mailed. Tutoring appointment rescheduled. Fever back.
I love my life. Really.

Thrive to spite them
((vw))
My advice when you talk to your profs (the ones you have classes with) is not to say "I've been sick" or "I am sick" but "I have mono, RSV, and pnemonia and have been under a doctor's care since " and go from there.
Sick is kind of vague and you want to be clear and lay out what's been going on straight away.
Have you been contagious at all because if the doctor said you were I'd play up that part as well. You stayed out under doctors orders AND to avoid infecting anyone else.
If I heard "I've been sick" I would think it was something like the flu and not a trifecta of illnesses like you are dealing with.
