Another Break In

Today I am thankful for my new security cameras. 

I couldn't sleep last night.  I wound up taking a ton of Benadryl around 3:00 am so I could finally sleep.

The energy was weird.

I felt a presence in my room but thought it was my imagination.  I had my ritual candles going.  The smell of incense filled the air.

I just thought I was having a hypnogogic hallucination.

The last time I remember seeing on the clock before drifting off to sleep was 3:14.  My clock is ten minutes fast, so it was about 3:00 a.m.  when I went out like a light.

******

I awoke and did my usual Sunday stuff.

My youngest woke up and told me that she received a text from her older sister around 4:04 a.m. wanting to know if she were awake.

She said she was asleep.

I didn't think anything of it.

******
The eldest woke up around 1:00 p.m.

She told me that she heard the garage door open and slam around 4:03 a.m..  It scared her so much that she barricaded herself in her bedroom with the cat.

I didn't hear anything.

I went downstairs to find that the garage light was on.

Some of the boxes in the garage were disturbed but nothing was taken.

Then.....I noticed that some of the objects that surround my front door were moved.

These are protection boxes that surround the top of the front door near the ceiling.  They are filled with yarrow meant to ward off stalkers and people with the intention of theft and menacing.

One of them was open. Only a tall person could open it or an average sized person on a chair. 

The cat cannot get there.

It made me wonder if someone was looking for money.  I guess someone could potentially hide money in the little boxes atop the front door.

Maybe someday I'll write about that ritual and the resulting chaos that ensued for one of the stalkers the day after it was cast.   That spell is about 15 years old.

Other than that, nothing was missing from the house.

My daughter wanted to call the police -but- they won't do anything.

I can hear it now.  It's just my imagination -or- my ex is just messing with my head.

It's not worth my time and energy to fight it.

*****
 We braced the doors and I prepared to leave the house to go to my office and re-hang my graduate degree.

I had to take it down to make a copy of it so that I could enroll into a post-grad education program.

As I left, I noticed a young man (dressed as a woman) watching the house.  He was in front of my mailbox, holding a large cell phone in a gray case.  (S)he was about twenty years old, caucasian, thin with long black hair that reached his/her mid-back....I think I saw blue highlights but I'm not exactly sure.  His/her jaw was square.  (S)he was smoking a cigarette.  (S)he was tall and lanky, wearing white sneakers, white capris and a white jersey with pink sleeves.

(S)he was watching me.  I pulled out of my garage and parked on the street.  The person walked past my car with his/her head held down.  I drove away and lingered at a stop sign trying to find my phone so I could take a picture.  I didn't want the person to know what I was doing, so I make a left turn and parked.  This person walked to the intersection and made a right turn before continuing to walk.

I drove home.  This is where I am right now.  This happened around 1:50 (about 20 minutes ago).

I need to call the guy who owns the rental property to see if he has a new tenant.  I am very scared right now.

I am hoping this guy lives next door.

If not.....this is scaring me.

This is not someone who I've let stay here in the past.  I'm thinking that if it were someone who needed a place to stay, he or she would have approached me.

This is bizarre.

I'm writing this now to document it.

I have about six security cameras that I've yet to install.  I never thought about putting one in the garage.

I'll do that now.

My thought is that I need to move pronto.

Whoever did this was either spooked or is someone who knows me and wants to make a statement.

By the way, I realized how one could potentially get into my garage.  I never changed the lock on the door leading into the back yard.

I'm off to rectify that right now.

Sigh.....

Love ya,

S.

Edit a few hours later:  The young person who was watching the house is staying in the rental next door.

I spent the day at the hardware store.  I'm fairly sure I've fixed any possible entrances into the property.

Moving to another house may be the next best step.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor hi...

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP a...
