I'm afraid that, even after the coffee, I'll still be a fuzzy, green monster.

Me temo que incluso después del café aún seré un monstruo verde y crespo.

Mondayitis is a play on words for diseases, like arthritis. - Destroyed99, May 9, 2011
Perhaps: ¡Déjame en paz! ¡Tengo la enfermedad de lunes de nuevo! - webdunce, May 9, 2011
Or maybe: ¡Déjame en paz! ¡Tengo el lunes-itis de nuevo! (This might work because Spanish does have several -itis words, too). - webdunce, May 9, 2011
(Of course, it's possible that neither one is right, but it'll give you something to put up there for now) :-) - webdunce, May 9, 2011
Thank you!!! That is perfect!!! Just what I need. Thanks!!!!! - Destroyed99, May 9, 2011
Tengo la enfermedad de los lunes / del lunes... You must write your own sentences, Johanna :) - cogumela, May 9, 2011
I did make it up myself, I just asked someone to translate it into spanish! - Destroyed99, May 10, 2011
