It's been a bitter sweet Valentine's Day with all the stuff that has gone on around me. Lois was on everyone's mind today. I ran into Mary while at Reeves' Drug Store and she asked me what I knew. Ruby was here a little while ago and gave me an update. The funeral was today. Mac and Ann were supposed to have attended. Rumor has it that it was an AA member from the Columbia group that is responsible for the murder.

I heard from Mike today. I had shared my feelings on Lois' murder with him. I was kind of surprised that he responded.

I've been sick all day. I ran some of my errands this morning and worked for a while at the library. Then I came home and crashed. I didn't wake up until Barry came banging on my door. I had wanted to go to Birmingham this weekend to attend the Al-Anon convention there but I didn't make it. I guess Linda will be mad at me. But I've got to take care of myself. I didn't see driving all the way to Birmingham to sleep (because that is all I would have managed) when I could sleep here for free.
