Still Cold and Other Observations

 


All right! This is getting ridiculous now. Still cold!

Yesterday I gathered up all my chargers and tech stuff for my trip next month to Palm Springs. I don't think I forgot anything. If I did, I'll just buy more when I arrive at my destination. So many devices and so many different chargers. 

Yesterday I had a spooky experience. I made my weekly visit to my favorite thrift store. I think I have a stalker now. This guy who volunteers at the thrift store kept following me around. Literally right behind me. Last year he delivered a bookcase to my house and I think became enamored of me because he is MUCH too friendly whenever I encounter him at the thrift store. Now I know how women feel with unwanted attention. Creeped out. He keeps trying to engage in conversation with me. He even followed me out to my car. Damn! 

Of course I may be totally imagining things. But I don't think so. 

Never a dull moment around here folks!

Although I get the occasional 'strange' character, both M & F, follow me around in supermarkets - as though they were expecting me to try to secrete something in a pocket, when they'd pounce (must be the beard which I often let get straggly) - I've not noticed a repeat like you've had, which would rather unnerve me. even if it truly was a well-intentioned stalker. But sounds like yours has truly crossed the line. 'Creepy' is precisely the right word.

When I go on a winter holiday, getting ready/packing is part of the fun. Did I bring everything? do I have all the books and things I want?

Ray,
I too have had a store clerk follow me around like I was going to shop lift something. While annoying I understand what he's doing. Not so much now because I think most all if not all stores have cameras. This guy really creeped me out though. Bad vibes all the way. Especially when he followed me out of the store.
