If bike is too hard and bus is lame, spring for a cab just this once so you don't stress your throat. =/
And if it IS mono, tell your doctor you need a note to exempt you from work.
Mono is weird because, well, once the sore throat goes away, you'll feel fine as long as you rest. However, if you get up and start doing too much - like going to work - the exertion can cause your spleen to swell and possibly explode. >_>
If you push yourself to go to work or go out and do things you will just get much sicker much faster and have to take even MORE time away to get well later on. I was ill enough that going out to get stuff at Wal Mart with my mom for half an hour almost caused me to faint. Mom found me standing in the clothes, sheet white and looking like I was going to collapse.
Better to sacrifice a week now than a month in future, yah? =/
*HUGS* Hopefully you'll be over it quick if it's Mono (I took about 10-12 days) or better you'll luck out and it will be Strep. ^^;;;
