Garage Guy update
Jan. 31st, 2005 09:43 pmYesterday evening, I was fixing dinner in preparation for leaving for work. The phone rings but we let the answering machine get it since there have been 3 or 4 hang up calls since GG left. It's GG: "Hello? I don't know where you are, but pick up the phone. Pick up the phone. I don't want anything; just want to say hello." Pause. "I'm outside your house." Pause. "Well, I guess that's plain enough. I won't call you again. You have my cell phone number if you want to contact me."
It was obvious he knew we were home. It occured to me that if I'd looked out the window a few minutes earlier, I could have probably seen him peering in the window at me. We're set a hundred feet from the street and if one stands right in front of the garage, it's possible to see behind the house and into the kitchen--which is probably what he did prior to calling.
It was both creepy and alarming, and made me angry. Since I was hurrying to get dinner, finish dressing before I rushed to work, I very well might not have answered the phone even if it was a friend. As usual, this was just another sign of how manipulative and inappropriate he is. I will be so relieved if this is the end of it, but somehow I doubt it. Maybe it will be a lull at least.
