As a matter of principal and to keep my sanity, I don’t answer my front door. That is unless I am expecting someone or I happen to look through the peep hole and see someone I know on the other end or an indication that it’s safe to open the door – like a police officer or fireman. I only have 2 friends that live local and 1 of them is out of town now. There are also 2 signs that both clearly state I object to solicitations of any kind.
Last night around 8p I got a knock at the door. It was a female with a dog. She was persistent, probably because she could hear the TV on. Eventually she went away. She did try to enter my home but thank goodness for door locks. She was on foot. I figured that was that. At 9:30p I got an angry man knocking on the door and screaming. Of course I didn’t open the door and he too was persistent with his knocking. He returned to a vehicle and drove away.
While the simple solution would be to answer the door I could probably quell all of this. The lady wasn’t so disturbing but the man that was alarming he actually got me out of bed and I wasn’t happy about it. In turn I called the police to see if any neighbors had reported like events but they had not. The police did come out and check the area but found nothing, which I kind of knew would happen.
I do expect one or both of them to come back tonight. I am working from home again today and feel worse than I felt yesterday. I also need to take out the trash, which I plan to do well before 5p. Other than that and maybe a trip to the pharmacy I don’t have any plans to leave. I will have my guard up and the alarm is on. There are other houses and streets that share my address and common part of our subdivisions street names. I suspect they were looking for someone else. The only thing that comes to mind is the homeowners association being pissed that I haven’t paid my dues but we have never paid in the 20 years we have lived here and I don’t plan on changing that unless there is a very compelling reason to do so.
Now that my head has drained I do feel way better than I felt this morning but I can tell that things don’t appear to be getting better. I requested a refill from my doctor of an antibiotic that I had a few weeks back. Taking that on top of what I am taking now has proven successful in times past. My hope is that he doesn’t balk and will refill it quickly. I full expect a telephone call from his office and I’m more than happy to tell them I am sick. If he had taken the time to see me 3 weeks ago when this crap started maybe I’d be ahead of the game. My hope is that I will get better soon and that whatever this is will be totally gone. I really think this is a side effect from that new diabetes med he put me on and only time will tell.
I was pleased as punch yesterday to get an email from the pet food store offering me $3 off treats to celebrate Momma’s birthday. I should get another one tomorrow for Gator & Marv. I made sure they all had treats last night. They chowed down!
I have a mystery on my hands with their water fountain. It’s suddenly sprung a leak again. I don’t get it, the thing was fine for 3 days and now it’s back to leaking. I thought originally I did something wrong but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I haven’t taken time to tear into it yet, that is a weekend thing.
Honestly, right now I don’t care about much considering that I am under the weather. I just want to get better so that I can resume what normal life I had.
I did see a show last night called WIG on HBO. It was produced by NPH and his husband David Burtka. It was about the history of Wigstock which is a drag convention that is held in NYC. It was interesting but not exactly my cup of tea. I did get to see NPH perform as Hedwig.
Well things are starting to heat up at work so time to jet. Talk with you all again soon.
