I don't have much time tonight. Gosh, life has been going by faster than I ever imagined. Still catching up with and dealing with my brother's affairs. Wow, what they put you through.
The day after the bank robbery there was another one just a couple of miles away. In this one there were three robbers all wearing face masks, hoodies and guns. They yelled at everyone to lay down on the floor and proceeded to jump over the counters and load their bags. They were verbally abusive and threatening.
That is why I mean we were lucky. Ours was scared to death and in an awful hurry or he would have seen us with our purses and my wallet... he just took what he could grab and ran and of course, our due diligence got him caught a couple of hours later.
However the fear lingers. I thought it was just me, but it is Melanie as well. We don't do well going inside the banks and do most of it through the drive-up window. At the time we weren't scared. We were two cool cucumbers. But later that night.... we both melted down a bit and unexpectedly found that walking into our own lovely credit union caused us fear and discomfort. Surely, it will go away but for now we don't like being in small places with one way in and out. But, hey, we figure as close as we are, we were glad to have been together to buoy each other up.
The Bank Officer said to us at the end as we were finally permitted to leave, "Well, you can't check this off your Bucket List." Are you kidding me? Seriously? Who puts on their Bucket List, "I want to be in a bank robbery."?
