Gratitude: modern technology!

Hi everyone!

 The serenity buster:  I came home from 1 day out of town to find  a bouquet of lillies, no card, on my doorstep. I can't fathom who I know who would drop flowers off sans card, I asked around anyway but no one had a clue. This detail is important as the cards were dropped off on the day of my ex RA's birthday. Keep in mind my ex is still under a 100 yard stay-away order. I am not saying for sure it was him, but it seems a bit too coincidental that flowers were dropped off on HIS birthday. Of course I have no literal proof it was him, but....honestly. Proofless dropoff of supermarket flowers would be his style. 

 The solution: I am now ordering an outdoors security camera, including night vision and an s.d. card for recording capabilities. Wonderful sales help and the whole thing is less than 85$. 

 Now, I am a techno idiot and bemoan our tech dependent society constantly. However, starting today I am TRULY GRATEFUL for modern technology! Thank you, tech inventors!!!

 Here's to all of us staying one jump ahead of the insanity. Cheers,

rara avis

RARA AVIS:

Maybe you should just enjoy the flowers. I know that it may not be where you think they might have come from--not knowing gets me too!

The flowers are beautifying the compost bin....

Trying to be strong, anyway....I saw ex RA's truck parked just a few blocks away on my street [ could be staying with friends who live there. ] WAY too close for comfort!! I noted his liscense plate, texted it to myself and emailed some neighbors in the know.

I keep telling myself, " I will not be intimidated....I will not be intimidated...." If I say that a lot and eat chocolate I think it helps...?!
