Things that go bump in the night...

This goes in the category of misc. or "Out of Topic" but just to keep my stuff together I'll put here for later possible reference. Unexplained noises may simply be unexplained and not in the least bit mystical or supernatural...

About 1:30 a.m. I was jolted awake by a loud slamming sound - sounded like the toilet seat and lid slamming down on the stool - a fairly unique sound. I was startled by it as it seemed to originate right there with me in the bedroom. Naturally, I got up and looked in the bathroom, but the seat and lid were in their usual upright position. (So wrong, girls, I know

).

I went back to bed just a little perplexed - spooked maybe a little. Then a few hours later I hear a door slam which again startles me awake. It was the porch door, the one I use for access. So I got up and checked it - it was actually shut, which is not it's usual position as I generally leave it open for a bit of a draft. Then it occurred to me I recently acquired something worth stealing and went to check that my Buddha was safe. All is well.

Living with cats means living with bumps in the night, and I am accustomed to that, but these two deserve mention.
