Mostly cloudy and temperatures much lower than the geography would have you believe. A cold front came through last night and deposited a migraine on my shoulders. It's to the point that I have only one window open. I am wearing chenille pedal-pushers and an oversized, man's shirt.

The man who killed Carlie Brucia has been found guilty on all counts. One more monster pulled off the street. My heart aches for her parents. This is not a happy day for them. It is just one more piece of evidence that she's gone.

I am off to my sanctuary (the living room sofa). Please don't call. I am too ill to answer.
