glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ruined by reading It is 4:36 PM Thursday late afternoon. It is raining and it is very cold. Maybe the rain will turn into ice tonight. I am extremely tired so I will get right to the point.
