I do not make it a practice, because of my anxiety to answer the door unless I know exactly who a person is, or I am expecting them in one way or another.
Needless to say, after about 15 minutes or so the man refused to leave so I finally demanded that he provide me with identification and let me know what he wanted or I was going to call the local public safety municipality.
The stranger refused to do so and instead laughed out loud saying that He had some documents for a person that was supposed to be at my address. I instructed him that this was not the case. He began to ask me questions of a very personal nature and so I called the public safety officer.
She was very helpful and I filed an incident report. Public Safety has instituted additional patrols and monitoring of my residence because the stranger made an intimidating statement that was interpreted as a possible violation of the Wisconsin Hate Crimes legislation.
While everyone agrees that I did the correct thing I find myself very uncomfortable in such circumstances and so the result is that I have incredible insomnia.
All is well, and everyone is safe but it just brought back some memories of a time when I was a victim of a Hate Crime and the difficulties I went through to overcome the experience.
I am going to do some reading I think and attempt to calm my mind with some writings from Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. I will be seeing my therapist tomorrow and have elected to submit this information to my physician.
I have also been trying to follow my nutritional plan in an effort to reduce some of the weight I gained over the winter when I was under the weather. I feel like that is harder than I wish it would be - but I am not going to give up.
