Lucky

Let's rewind to last Friday around 3:30pm.  My husband's phone pocket dials me and I hear all sorts of commotion going on and then phrases like "dude, I wouldn't tell her," "leave it at my place, we'll fix it," and "you know I'm not going to hear the end of it because we have the baby on the way."  These are never good things to overhear when your husband is on a trip up north snowmobiling.  

I held off on posting anything about this because as you can imagine, I have mixed emotions on the subject.  First and foremost I was worried about him.  Obviously some form of accident had occurred and from the pocket dial I wasn't sure if he was even injured. I was also disappointed for him because he was so excited to be heading north for the first time with his sled and now his weekend was ruined.  Lastly, I was angry.  I was angry at the direction the conversation I overheard was taking and I was angry because we'd recently put +$400 into the sled and it was becoming apparent our bank accounts were going to suffer some more.  You may recall my eluding to his sled having work done in my Manic Monday post.  At any rate, it's just money, but certainly not something else we needed to encumber at this point in time. 

Hit and Run - Middletown NY/Slate Hill area

I normally don't post on the weekends but I am hoping to engage readers to help assist police in apprehending a hit and run driver.

My sister Jessie was hit last night by a presumably drunk/high driver on her way home from clinicals last night. 

A young blonde woman driving a four-door silver car hit Jessie in the rear end three times while driving on Kirbytown Road between Waywayanda and Mount Orange. While on the phone with 911 Jessie got out to get the license plate number and the woman ran her over and took Jessie's driver door with her.
Jessie is banged up, but ok.  She is having some trouble walking. Nothing broken bone-wise but her right knee is not cooperating.  There may be ligaments damaged.

If you have any information you are urged to call police.  If you reside in the Middletown/Slate Hill area, please be on the lookout for the vehicle and alert police should you spot it.

Thank you!
