My dad called me the other night from his car while he was driving somewhere...he said, "I think Mom's messing with me again!" He'd already told me that one of the ceiling fans in his house had been going crazy, changing speeds all the time...guess which one? The one in her bedroom. And this time he said that as he was driving right before he called me, his seat kept inching away from the steering wheel a little at a time! They're not electric either; they're the kind you manually adjust with a lever and by pushing yourself back, so he knew he wasn't doing it. So he said out loud, "Mac (that was his nickname for her)? Are you doing that?" And then the seat started slowly inching its way back toward the steering wheel! Mom always was a jokester.
I also had a couple things happen recently. I keep all my shoes on a rack in a closet, and for three days in a row, every time I went to the closet to get shoes for the day, the same two or three pairs would be on the floor even though I knew they'd been placed securely on the rack the day before. Gravity? Maybe. Then the other night I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 3:30. I went up to bed but couldn't go back to sleep, so I read for a while. I still wasn't tired, but I finally decided to turn off the light and try to go to sleep. I had just done that and was lying on my side facing the night table where my cell phone was. I happened to have my eyes open and saw the screen on my phone suddenly light up out of nowhere. I thought...well, that's kinda weird... I picked it up and looked at it. It hadn't made any noises or beeps and didn't say anything about having voicemails or whatnot...it was just its regular screen but lit up for no apparent reason. I put it back down and a minute later it went dark again. At first it creeped me out a little, just because of the time of day it was, but then I thought, "No way is this going to scare me if it was from Mom." I think I thanked her and fell asleep.
