I am getting closer to a real sleep schedule, getting up at about 4:am, (my time). But I had a bad start this morning, and had to try to nap after my decafs. Then I started looking at some of my packed stuff, which I never wanted to open, at emergency bulbs and a little security light/alarm, which I'll probably be putting up near the back/side door. I set up an emergency bulb in the kitchen, (stays on when power goes out), and a red bulb in the back/side area inside.
Meanhile, I noticed the guy next door was already up, very early. And, so, when I let my dog out back, he showed up, walking his husky, but on the far side of his house. I enquired if he had had COVID, alluding to the two times he had coughed ridiculously, ignoring me and going inside. He said he had had COVID, but appeared to be thinking of an earlier time. So, his explanation of those coughing fits was that, 'maybe my sinuses were acting up'. Hmmmm? Hmmmm? Spot the liar. He was capable of holding his own in convo, which psycho/narcos can do quite well, and he used one trick used by narcissists, referring to, "Everyone," as if he was a representative of the group. But, this is all my initial observation. In addition, after he went inside with Husky, he came out with a new Rott - maybe compettion, or maybe just company for the Husky. Then, he went to his car, while giving out another cough as he passed by. He revved his sporty SUV and drove away, without the satisfaction of seeing me seeing him.
Now, I don't know if anything supports the probability that he is a narcissist here, even though he was weirdly up, now, so early, possibly showing off while I was out. At like 8:am, as opposed to his regular 10:am. And now very visibly walking NOT close to this house, but quite a distance away. He has given off many signals previously indicating that he, and his gf, were involved in some kind of reactive dance regarding me and my doings. The dog and humans tracks are right there as evidence. And someone, and a dog, has tracked down the other side of this house. So, there's a lot of circumstantial evidence. So - in the paragraph above, I am underlining the parts which MAY support the idea he is a freaky creepy narcissist, (or psychopath - remember the gunshots), (and/or which do not contradict that idea), or which may just be stuff any person might do or say. Mind you, narcissists tend to be good at mirroring what any person might do or say, or what you might THINK any other person might do or say. So, and until, they can get their way.
I was cleaning up dog poop in the snow as he drove away. I had already retrieved some things from the garage and carried them to the deck. I had also let my dog inside the garage for a few minutes while the husky was out. After all this, I carried the stuff inside, I checked out the faulty gutter, I threw sand on the faulty ice below, I tested around to see where crews would be possible for the alarm light thingie, I brought the dog in, I securely installed a metallic ornament near the back/side door outside, checked to see if the kombucha was ready, and did various other inside things. Now I am done-in and must try to sleep, but first must take dog out again, hoping there are no humans around. I need to call my bank today regarding the fact that my transactions keep getting suspended in processing hyperspace which results in me getting hit by fines by the companies I am trying to pay!
