Good Friday turned out to be Friday the 13th. I was in Denver with the husband, picking up a free Vanity. While standing in front of the apt building, watching as Andy parks the van, a man walks by. I made eye contact, smiled slightly as we walked by.
10 ft later..he turned and blind sided me. He attacked me and hit me in the side of my head. I screamed "What the hell" as he hit me, knocking my glasses off.
Andy heard me and saw what was going on..and did a flying tackle on the guy, beating him in the head. He turned to check on me, and the guy just walked off. Andy grabbed the cell phone, made sure I wasn't hurt too bad and started to follow the guy. Andy lost him about a block away. The cops came, we gave them a description and they went to look for him. They came back, said they had the guy and he had already attacked another woman!!!
So the guy went to jail. He got into court on saturday, plead guilty and got 90 days. He didn't get a felony charge because he didn't "hurt me enough" He also has to do a pschy eval, he was carrying some sort of card with the name of a mental facility. He also has a record of some past violent behaviou.
Needless to say I've been a bit paranoid. The first night back to work was fairly brutal. I'll never go anywhere where there are crowds without Andy.
Hopefully get past all this.
