Hey, Miss J!

This is certainly less disappointing than my announcement – to no one’s surprise – that I got no writing done. I’m extremely disappointed in myself. Maybe tonight?

IDK… It’s nearly 10:30, and I’m still working on dinner…

Yeah.

I have to count up and check a few things. I might be able to get stuff done tomorrow… After I complete my assignment and after I speed-do my chores. Will see after that, eh?

So… on to the title of this blog…

I took out my trash and noticed that both of my cans had moved. Now… it’s not so windy that they would just ‘navigate’ somewhere like that. Not without falling over.

And since crime is so ridiculous here, I went and checked my camera… only to see someone walk past my back yard, move my recycling bin out of my yard and moving my trash can.

Why… I don’t know. I do know that a white truck came up a few hours after I moved the cans and stopped right at my yard.

Are people honestly trying to track my habits now?

Maybe they want to see if I’m home.

I already have to deal with someone taking their dog into my yard and letting it pee there.

I’ve stepped in dog poop before… inside my back yard. Right in front of my car. The tears I shed over that after I tracked it into my kitchen is just…

We’ve even had theft here where people have used tow trucks to steal people’s cars.

I told my neighbor that if I was homeless with a tent, someone would take my tent and if all I had were my clothes, they’d steal those.

If I was absolutely naked, someone would take my life.

It’s just…

I’ve told my neighbor and friends that if someone wants to really do something to harm me, they’ll put forth the effort.

… I’m just so saddened by it all.

I just want to live my life without fear of someone trying to steal from me, harm me or kill me.

Part of that, along with my health issues, is part of why I spend time in my writing… Or playing the Sims.

I know there’s no honest point in moving anywhere. Violence is on the upswing – everywhere, and I know that grass always appears greener on the other side. It’s safer to just remain where I am.

I’m just going to make a notation and start NtC editing. And chapter planning.

That all depends on the business I finish up tonight.
