Mysterious Event at My House

[NJCher]

9. update

I wanted to provide an update and respond to orleans' thoughts.

No more soil in the entry way. However, there was one other event that happened that same week which was rather mysterious.

orleans, I do think it could be one of my helpful relatives. I think the message was conceptual. What it was saying was not "put soil in the entryway" but "find and confine a soil-like material to keep the mice out." Yes, I did check all over the property to see if any soil was dug up, but there wasn't any such place. I'm in close touch with my garden, so I'd have noticed right away.

I have some sand and when I get a few minutes, I intend to sew up a couple cloth tubes, fill them with the sand, and use them to block out any drafts from the bottom of the door and the brick floor. This is an entryway where there is another door into the house, but with three cats, I don't worry about the mice coming in the house.

I think I have a full complement of relatives who are helping out right now. Four great-aunts, two sets of grandparents, an uncle, and a parent. Long story short, but I'm working on a project for an elderly relative and I "feel" their support. I also sometimes have messages pop into my head as this project moves along. Sometimes these messages are in terms I would never use, but which one of my relatives might.

I got a chuckle out of your interactions with your mom. It's those very personal things that no one knows about--like the paper clip--that make this a "know," not just a "could be." Thirty-two clips!

Thanks for sharing your story. It made me smile, in addition to being very touching.

OK, here's the other odd incident that happened the week the soil appeared in the entryway.

I had a backed up drain in my bathroom. Since my house was formerly owned by a plumbing contractor, I have more sinks and bathrooms in this place than I know what to do with. I didn't have time to clear out this particular sink, so I was using other ones. There was water in the sink and it went for days and days and didn't move an inch.

I keep a strainer in every sink drain. This prevents hair and the like from going into the drains.

One morning I left the bath and again noted how the water hadn't drained a bit. Only 20" later I returned and there was no water at all in the sink. How odd, after days and days of it not moving at all. And oddest of all, the strainer had been taken out and put on the window sill next to the sink.

If this was a spirit, it didn't solve the plugged up sink problem, but somehow it did take care of the standing water problem!

Oh and p.s. there was no one else in the house at the time.
