Being Sick

I have a little cold. Of course, when it's your cold, it's not little. I've been taking asprin and cough drops. I don't have enough money for cold medicine. One thing about living in a homeless shelter is that guys get sick. When you have 25 guys sleeping in one room, the chances of picking up a germ is pretty great. One guy, about a week ago, got swine flu. Everyone has been a little scared about that. I think they cleaned everything, so unless a new guy brings it in, the threat has passed. Although, a guy last night was experiencing some symptoms. Meanwhile, we are all just trying to make it. Some people are sick in the head, but that's another story.
