Bumbling about, I thought I heard something... someone... nearing the door. Sure of it. Then I thought they left and, yet, it sounded as if someone was out there. Now, being old, weak, sick, and tired, people or things out there cause minor concern. Who, why, where exactly. But you don't just peak your head out a window. No, they could see. Moving the shade? Humans were animals born. And one thing about animals is that they notice movement before all else. Why? Survival. It doesn't matter if it is blue, or camouflaged, or such, so long as it isn't moving toward or away from you... in the instant. If it is moving, it is either food or predator. Don't pull the curtains back. Figure out where they are by sound. Figure out which way they are headed. Then figure an angle at which they may well pass so that you can see their back without adjusting anything. Whether inside with curtains, outside with foliage or even something like murky water if you have air or access to it somehow... It's how I do, and did. Unless I want to cue that someone is inside. Which I have done. *blink blink*
Anyway, it was lawn mowing day. Which was fine. Then I remembered I hadn't finished raking! Gah. In one sense, I don't mind. In another I did. It was my job. I had started it. It was a part of the tree care. So I jumped to the ready and sallied forth. Or fifth? She can wait. A few salutations and such, then I got to it. The rake I was using really wasn't doing it, so I tried a different one. The solid rake does much better, it's just that mine is so small. He went and got their rake, larger... though larger rakes work better, they, again, become much more energy intense to use. In any case, he got the lawn, I got the lawn raked with his help, and that is that. So, yeah, I got my physical work in today, want or not. I needed, not so much wanted. Which is all good. While it might not seem like it, things really turn out well sometimes. Depends on how you see things? It's how I see this.
I need a shower today. I'd like to do a few other things. Time only will tell some things. Ugh. Later.
So, was someone outside? Besides your yard help that is.
ReplyDeleteOh, right. At first, since I exited from the back door, I thought not. But, yes. The curtain exchange, which they sent before my having to return the damaged one, was in. Though I still think there was some sort of farm/hauling equipment also being switched. If I was right about those two, I suspect there was a third. There just wouldn't be any trace I might recognize by the time I was out and about.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure my hearing is good, or fear drives me to use my facilities at an advanced capacity. Could be both. Though I have noticed, there are some who are better at masking than I at finding, and some things that can luck or skill through. It isn't just the normal senses though, either. Evil I can feel, sometimes just people or animals or 'doings'. Sometimes I... go blind, am blocked, or such.
I am curious. Do you attempt to block your presence from the senses of others, as a general rule? I often have some minor shields up. Sometimes I open them if I think I am spotted/known anyway... don't want to give away that I can shield. Not sure if it means a thing, simply intent. Though I have met others who can be there, or not there, even when physically present, so I think it's real. If you have never tried it, you ought to. It's, by the way, how I can sneak up on women and cats. I think. :p
Probably not in a psychic way if that's what you are referring to. I should be wide open that way. Freezing in place when strangers knock is an entirely different matter.
ReplyDeletePerhaps more than you know. Still, some time, just for... fun and games... attempt to not be there, when someone knows you are there, is coming to find you, and just see. It's not guaranteed. It might surprise you. It is quite fun, if you can pull it off. Best to try it while perfectly still, initially, then attempt it while moving. Not sure how it really works, or... well, yes, it works. My last girlfriend could walk right past me and not see me. Until... *boo!* Another reason to say "Oh! I hate you!" And she started to hate saying it. Getting her to say it was almost as fun as going invisible. Seriously. Works on cats too, but they are asleep a lot more often than not. Just don't be close enough for claws when decloaking. They are a bit twitchy when startled.
