Poltergeist, Day 5

 When I went out to Chez Wicca today, I first peeked at where I put the whisk broom.

It wasn't there.  It was in the poltergeist's preferred spot, under my chair.  Today it was joined by a full-sized dustpan, and a piece of craft foam.

Fortunately as I was picking these up, I looked around and saw something sticking out from under the shelves - something that had been tucked almost completely under.  It was my vambrace that I plan on using as an arm perch for the puppet.

I'm really glad that I noticed this, because I need it for the puppet.  I have a very annoying habit of losing stuff.  I can be sitting, working on something, put down a tool, and then not be able to find it in a few minutes when I need it again.  And I haven't moved from where I'm sitting.   I had fished this vambrace out (I made it several years ago to demonstrate using Worbla) to use on this project.  I had it sitting (in the sewing room, not the room with the worktable where Poltergeist is stashing stuff) with the false-arm shirt that I'll be using.  So it would have driven me bonkers if I couldn't find it.

Poltergeist may be gaslighting me.

I was going to write a longer post tonight, but I really need to do more sewing on Mervin the Griffin.  So I'll just leave it at the fact that I find that I'm oddly happy about Poltergeist.  I've been far too serious since I lost Bob - and this is just plain silly.  It makes me giggle.  I'm careful to put the whisk broom and anything else that had been moved back to their original positions.  I would say that I'm not hiding anything, but I did bring all the parts of the puppet back to the house, just in case.  I even put the chair back when I move it.

It has, of course, been suggested that I put up the game camera to see what is moving stuff.  Nope.  Don't want to know.  And maybe Poltergeist is camera shy and I don't want to scare him (her??  it??) off.  I'm enjoying this too much.
