SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Oh golly @Former-Member

It's in the interests of your self-protection to be suspicious when anyone gets to friendly - as for casing your joint - it may not be your money he is after -

It's not thinking evil that makes it happen - some people are bad - and it's not at all rude to be standoffish.

My being alert as save my life more than once too - a guy came to my door when I lived somewhere else - he wanted to sell something and I was suspicious - there were certain things about this guy who made me smell his evil I guess - but his appearance and accent and other things made me think hard when someone who had been attacking women alone in their homes in another city caused me to ring Crime Stoppers - and there were things I knew about this guy I could not have known had I not seen him - and it was not advertised that he had attacked women in the general area where I lived

That was a little too close for comfort and the police loved my imput and yes - a long telephone conversation at the cost of the police in another city - whew

It's not being unfriendly - it's being sensible - and here's the clue - he's a guy for goodness sake - he can pee against a tree -

Please - ring the police or go there and report this - it really sounds suspicious to me

Glad you find stuff to do for yourself @Faith-and-Hope. I often see a woman having breakfast in a cafe near me. She sits near the footpath and has her dog with her. The suburb I live in is very dog friendly. I wonder what her story is. I have stopped and said hello a couple of times and patted her dog.

I have had the best foot massages in Thailand. An hour of bliss for $5 or $6 dollars. I fell asleep once.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

I'm feeling okay @Former-Member. I would be a bit cautious too in your situation. I tend to be quite trusting of people. Letting someone into my home though who has just literally walked off the street would be pushing the limit.

I remember having a large Samoan man come to my door once and ask if I wanted a tree in the front yard trimmed. He seemed very friendly but I didn't hire him.

Hi @Former-Member

You need to check up on this guy - go to the police - tell them what has happened and they can check upo on this guy - offering help they way he is might mean he is okay - but coming into your house is not a good idea at all

It's not paranoid at all - it's self-protection - what harm can it do to have his checked out - it's good you hid when he came back -

I am a good-natured and confident person and I have a lot of people coming into my home to work here - and if I don't know the person I want to see their ID when they arrive - and they are happy to do this - in fact they have a folder with their details

It is really nice to be cared for as @Faith-and-Hope said - but still - check it out

I'll be making more enquiries @Owlunar, and ponder how to be less friendly. Couldn't exactly ask if he had to do a #2, and yes, plenty of trees outside for #1's lol. The bible study ladies thought he was taking liberties asking to come into the house. I forget most people don't know God. I did copy his card and rego and tx my son should anything happen.

What have you been doing today Dec? 💜

@soul, yeah, my bad / dumb 😦 shouldn't have let him in. Maybe not even hire him, time will tell. 💜

@Faith-and-Hope, it worries me that you have to withdraw into yourself to cope with your family life, but hoping you get some meaningful moments connecting now and then. Hey, where do you get a foot massage? Who does that? (not going to Tailand lol) 💜

Thanks for the self care reminders though:
foot massages ☺
painting ☺
gardening ☺
walking 😨
massages ☺
crosswords 😮
Sorting and cleaning 😒
cuddling with a fur-baby☺😀
yep,.. it all adds up.
