The heat in the trailer only works on one side. It is hard to keep warm. We don't have that many blankets. At least many that are not ridden with holes and creepy crawly roaches, which left only a select few.

My body is shaking. My teeth chattering. I rub my hands. They are turning red and are going numb. So cold. I grab my blankets and slide them onto the floor next to the vent. I make a pallet on the floor, so I can have something soft to sleep on, as close to the vent as I can get. I lay down on the pallet and throw my one blanket over me.  Maybe I will get warm in a few minutes. Hopefully it won't take long now that I am next to the vent.
