Intrigue
We found a cigarette butt in our garage several days back, but neither of us smoke and we've had no smoking friends over. Then yesterday the back door of the garage was pushed out of the door frame. There was a large piece of wood on the garage floor in front of the opening.
This door was not on hinges but rather wedged into that door frame. Not wanting to damage the original door to provide pet access, we had purchased a new door and cut a frame out for the doggie door. Now the whole affair was laying outside on the ground.
Another incident, which would not be strange of itself, is that the knob to the door between the house and the garage has suddenly broken. You could turn it but nothing happened. So Richard took out the inner parts and now you just pull it open or closed.
Taken my themselves, these various things wouldn't mean a whole lot, but in combination they present somewhat of a mystery. I have my own ideas about the source of these incidents. I think someone has been in our garage and perhaps even our house. Our doggie door is quite large enough to accommodate a full grown man and we usually do not locked the door between the house and garage. Or I should say, we did not lock the door, we do now!
I think someone has been watching me in relation to my workmen's comp claim. I have personally known people who have been followed, videotaped, and even had their house invaded by surveillance people.
I do not feel threatened, but I do feel violated. If someone wants to follow me or videotape me outside my home, that's fine and that's legal. However, it's a whole other thing when it's inside the privacy of my home. It's not that I do anything different or that I would be ashamed of, it's just that I should expect privacy inside my home just like everyone else. I think that privacy has been violated.
I will be very glad when all this insurance business is over with. I have the deposition on June 1, and now I have they have set an appointment for me to see an independent doctor to put a number on the amount of my disability. Good!
Richard is working today. I am also working trying to finish my yesterday's list. Most of it has been forwarded to today. So now I have my blog out early and I need to finish Handmaidens for May... it is very late coming out this month.

Iona, you need to be very careful. Although I will say it is very possible that it is some insurance people checking on you, even following you around, it is also very much possible that the house incidents are a burglar checking out your house and what he can and can't get. I am so glad that you lock the door now. When we lived in Lodi our neighbors had there house broken into and items stolen by leaving their inside garage door unlocked. People could tell that they always went in that way, and never used their key. Please be careful. God Bless.
