This week two things I never wanted to have experienced happened.
The first happened Monday night. NE and I were driving back from Kansas City where we had picked up his car. NE was driving ahead of me. It had started snowing pretty hard (at least blowing hard) and we were going too fast for road conditions.
I was just thinking of trying to get NEs attention to slow down ....
When NE spun out right in front of me.
My heart was totally in my throat. I was wondering if I was about to watch my boyfriend die in front of my eyes.
His car went into the ditch and came out on the other side facing oncoming traffic. Thank God there was no traffic.
He sat there for a few seconds and then drove back to the proper side of the road, parking on the shoulder in front of me.
He had a popped tire and had tweaked his "good" shoulder. But otherwise was okay (other than being scared out of his wits.)

Tuesday afternoon we went to put a new tire on his car. It was maybe 18 degrees out. Maybe.
We'd left his car on the side of the road Monday night.
His car jack turned out to not lift the car high enough to get the new tire on. (I jacked the car and removed the flat tire and attempted to put the fixed one on.)
So we had to go back to Walmart and buy a better jack. Then I got the tire put on. This whole process took the better part of four hours.

Then today .. I had someone come to the window to buy a pass who was talking and talking and talking. In their talk they mention that they had "found" a bag of coke under a bridge and were excited to get home to test it and see if it was real so they could sell it. :bug eyes:
I talked to K my supervisor. She thought I should call the officer who comes by every other week to pick up the lost and found wallets. He was out til Friday.
So then I called the non-emergency number. They told me to call Crime Stoppers. Which I did. I was given an id#. The lady I talked to knew exactly who I was talking about.
So ... #1 - watching someone I care about spinning out in front of my eyes, and #2 calling Crime stoppers about a possible drug thing .... so not on my bucket list EVER.
My Week ... Yikes.

YIKES on both counts!
Crimes with drugs - just bad. Dealing with the criminal element (mostly youth and stupidity) in my own (extended) family. Definitely a challenge to find compassion and justice all at the same time.
