Jennifer heard the guitar's notes dancing on the wind but couldn't see out the window since she was too short. Whoever was playing was not merely strumming strings but almost making love to the guitar. The music helped her take her mind of the pain in her arms.<br/><br/>"You will be some fabulous muscles soon, "Rachel told her when Jennifer had stopped to rub her forearms.<br/><br/>Her back and shouldes were hurting too. She wished she could take an ibuprofen and go to bed instead of attending the inspirational.<br/><br/>"We dont' use manmade substances for our ill, but go see Tonya in the infirmary. She will give you some willowbark tea. As for the inspirational. We never miss that, Even the very ill are brought on a stretcher.<br/><br/>When all the work was done, Jennifer went straight to the infirmary. It was empty. She was in so much pain that she didn't have any appetite. She sunk down in a heap of misery and rocked herself slowly.<br/>"Happy Birthday to me. At least I have a warm bed, a roof over my  head and I don't have to eat from a dumpster."
