I went this week and bailed Beauty out of the county jail. Cost $1,995 which she will be paying back. I just could not leave her there. Now we wait for a court date and see what the outcome of all this is. We are tentatively hopeful based on conversations with the investigator, but definitely not out of the woods.
She is moving back home as we await court and we are going to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I think Gymnast said it best when she got in the car from jail “Maybe this is God’s way of telling you that you need a reset.”
I am all about a reset for both her and myself!
Then a Car Wreck
Oh and then…Gymnast was run off the road and wrecked his car.
And to top it off, he received three tickets for the wreck. Holy cow!
There was a witness who told the police that the man behind him was driving aggressively, but that didn’t matter. Only my son received any citations.
It doesn’t look like the damage is too extensive. When he ran off the road, it was into an embankment; otherwise, it would have probably been fine. Thank goodness for insurance, but he will have to pay a $1,000 deductible. Thankfully, the insurance company did speak to the witness and marked it as a no fault accident.
We will have to see how court goes for the tickets.
Debt Payoff on Hold
Needless to say, debt payoff has been put on hold as I deal with all the “emergencies” going on in my life including the upcoming job loss.
I feel like I’ve circled back to several years ago when it seems like everything that could go wrong, did.
BUT I am not the same person. And I know something amazing is coming. I will not be deterred.
