I had a very horrible experience yesterday that I hope I never have to go through again. I had to go to work on the early train, so 4:30 a.m. I headed out but decided to stop and get some donuts for my co-workers since I had time. I went to the donut shop by my house, got my donuts, and was putting my donuts and wallet in the back seat of my truck when a man approached me with a gun, held it to my head and told me to give him my wallet. He caught me off guard and I said what? That's when I turned and saw the gun at my head. I remained calm and told him there it is on the floor, take it. He grabbed it and took off in his mini van with missing license plates, he was yelling something at me as he drove away, but I couldn't tell what he was saying. I crouched down behind my truck until I was sure he was gone in case he decided to start shooting, then I ran back into the donut shop screaming like my hair was on fire. It was amazing how the people in the donut shop could care less that I was screaming and crying, they were all just looking at me and continued putting coffee in their damned coffee and eating their donuts. I finally screamed at the lady behind the counter to call 911! I really wanted to strangle everyone in that shop for their seeming lack of concern. What's wrong with people these days??? Well in the end the guy got no credit cards because I don't carry any, a debit card that I cancelled the minute I got home and less than $30 and change. I am just thankful the low life didn't decide to shoot me just because. I had an angel watching over me I guess.

So today I decided I needed to get some quilt therapy in. I got out a County Threads pattern that I have been wanting to make called Leap and made that. The original pattern had the cat leaping over a bunch of pumpkins, but I had another pattern that had a watermelon slice so I decided to swap that out for the pumpkins. I also added a little bird to the cat's tail. I love how this quilt came out. I still need to get it quilted, and I have just the wall where I'm going to put it. Here's a picture.

Well that's all I have to say right now. I'm exhausted and I have a headache. I need to get some sleep. I hope I don't have any bad dreams, I keep having flashbacks this evening. Ugh. Moral of the story, people need to be careful out there, desperate times call for desperate measures, and there are some desperate people out there right now.
