I was all ready for Christmas so all I had to do for the next couple of days was to run some errands.
Monday, December 23rd, I drove up to Main Street to mail a few bills in the Post Office. I admit to being a bit paranoid about this but there's been a few cases of people "fishing" mail out of the PO street boxes looking for checks and financial information so I don't take chances. When I came out, I saw these guys working on the United Methodist Church across the street.
I thought it was a little late to be putting up decorations but what do I know, I'm a Catholic.
Tuesday the 24th - Christmas Eve - I went out later then usual. I'd slept in which was a good thing. I was warming up my car when I noticed this guy.
There's a lot of construction going on in the area but it's mostly across the street so I watched him for a while. He kept his back to me the whole time and what struck me was that he was alone. I've seen these surveyor guys and there's usually two of them. Curious, but I couldn't do anything about it. I drove away.
Wednesday was Christmas and I spent the day with the Family, enjoying the company and the meal my Son-in-law made.
Monday, the 30th, was my Daughter's 35th Birthday and we all got together at a local restaurant for dinner. Again, the company was great but I didn't care for the food.
January 1st - New Year's Day - I was out and stopped at my local Dunkin's. The lot was pretty empty but there's always someone who thinks they're better then others.
This time there was two. I parked, went in, picked up what I wanted, and came back out. There are two entrances/exits here and I usually take the right-hand one but I chose the left. It took me past those cars.
Point, press, Flash.
I don't know if I got both but at least I got one.
Thursday the 2nd, I had a 7 AM appointment for an MRI Prostate Biopsy. To be honest, I didn't want to do it but my PSA Level jumped up to 41 from 14, which is not a good thing.
I was told that I couldn't drive myself because they'd be using anesthesia so I had to impose on a friend to get me there and back. Things went smoothly and it took less time then I thought. I bought breakfast at Denny's for both of us as a sort of payback.
Yesterday, the 4th, started out very foggy but cleared up pretty quickly. I drove up to Walmart to pick up a prescription they had ready for me then swung by ShopRite to check some things out. I was sitting in the car when this guy pulled in next to me.
I didn't pay him any attention, just went inside. I picked up a few things and a scratch-off Lottery ticket and went back to my car.
He was still there.
I sat in my car for a while, thinking. I've been through some stuff over the last few years but now there's something else and I won't get the results until the 13th.
I'm frustrated and annoyed and I began thinking about the guy in the car next to me and the surveyor from the other day.
Jones? Could be. I didn't care.
Point, press, Flash.
If he had an implant, he'd be OK. Worst case, I took out the car.
I stayed in today. I'm guessing that I won't get any results until I go to the Urologist. Until then I'll have to wait.
