Silence

I really wish I had not eaten all of my cough drops this weekend because I have no money to buy more and they would feel so good on my throat right now.  I have no voice, it's annoying.

The bad news is that I can't go to the doctor because I have no money to pay for an antibiotic and Mom doesn't get paid until Friday.

You wanna know how I know I'm sick?  I didn't get out of bed until 5:30 pm, and it's 10:00 pm and I'm ready to go back to bed.

Honestly, though, I'm kind of thankful for the silence.  I've used a lot of words the past few days, and I'm just tired.  Sometimes we all need a break.
