Now what do I do with it?

Yesterday my former team lead/boss (still a coworker, different department) came by to return the Medala pump I loaned her when she had her daughter last year (her pump was well used from 2 previous kids). Her daughter is just turning one and just down to wake up and night time nursing now.

She thanked me for loaning it to her and even gave me a gap gift card :)

(Actually if hadn't been for her doing it for her son who is 6 months older than Alan, I may have never even thought about it for Alan.)

I guess it will go in the closet for now - I'm not expecting to use it anytime or know anyone in person who can or will use it.

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago this was *important* and now it's just clutter :(

Ever see an accident?

I remembered this after something astrojetta posted today:

Saturday after leaving Alan's disasterous doctor appointment - I was looking up the block to make a left turn when I saw a dark blue car go flying and heard a crash. I made my turn, pulled over to park and went up the street to see what happened bringing my cell phone. (Mark and Alan were in the car). A car had pulled out of a driveway into a second car on the street which went into a parked car on the other side of the street. I called 911 and stayed until I could see that everyone was ok (they were, but I suspect the dark blue car is totalled as the front wheel was bent badly) and that I could give my name as a witness. I felt it was the right thing to do.

I had a similar thing happen 20 (!) years ago when I lived in Massachusetts. I had put my stuff on the trunk of my car after leaving a convience store was rummaging through my purse for my key when I saw a car accident. The details are fuzzy now but it involved someone entering or leaving a parking lot and someone on the street. And I remember someone was shook up or out of it. I stayed until the police came and I was called or contacted by at least one insurance company about it.

It's definitely the right thing to do. And fortunately insurance companies can't charge or blame you for it!
