Update of sorts...

I am sick here in Berkeley, CA. I have a sore throat, aches and fever. Feeling poorly. I am home from work for the second day. Hard to say if I am contagious but am pretty symptomatic and very tired. I don't feel well. Meh. I have the time accrued so will use it. I hate when people go in sick so don't do that myself.

I am glued to CNN right now and this story in Cleveland Ohio about the three girls who were found, having been held captive for 10 years in this guy's house. Unbelievable. This seems like an episode of Criminal Minds to me, on that level of horrible. Here is a link if you are not familiar.

Amanda Berry broke out of the house with the help of a neighbor, Charles Ramsey and then police freed the other two girls - Michelle and Gina who were also held for more than 10 years. This is the stuff of nightmares. Three brothers have been arrested in this crime with charges pending.

Unbelievable.

Bless them. So glad they got out of there alive.

I'm sorry you're ill. I missed work yesterday because of being ill, and wished I stayed I stayed home today. Feel better soon!

I couldn't believe the news this morning! I was glued to the story about the girls. What horrible things they must have endured during those ten years. So glad they were able to escape!

I know. Being sick is the meh.

This story is fascinating. I am sure more details will come out about it but for now it is just enough that they are free of captivity. Bless them for sure.

Looking at those three brothers makes me want to vomit!
Those poor girls!
Berry was very brave.

Hope you feel better.
*hugs*

I know. Disgusting. And no one saw anything in the neighborhood. They were well concealed.

I am miserable. I cannot get better. *hugs*
