Subconscious aversions or gremlins

So it seems Candice has developed an ingrained sunbconsious aversion to certain items that she has such as her mouthguard and her fitbit.  With both she started out dedicated and religiously kept track of everything about them, and more recently keeps misplacing them for long periods of time.  It's become a sort of inside joke with us, and now we have key spots where we look which in the past have been where we've always found them, so her subconscious has seemed to take notice and found new places to "hide" them.  That, or we have gremlins.

I tend to side on the gremlin theory, because we have had so many costly things go wrong with the house and appliances.  Just last week the washing machine died and we had to buy a new one.  Last year the central air died.  Twice.  Once for A/C and once for Heating.  We had the master bathroom shower leak into the dining room.  What else could cause this stuff on a 6-7 year old house except gremlins? 

Shadow still hasn't returned, so I'm 99% sure she didn't make it.  :-(

This weekend's plans are to mow the front yard (yes, that dreaded time of year has finally started), finish the other kitten coffin, and get the vegitable garden ready for planting.  We are putting up two "fences" for beans and peas to grow up onto, and we'll be putting in four tomato cages.  We need to also dig up/till/add in non-clay soil to the levels for gardening.  I also should do something with the zone 8 sprinklers which will water the garden, so I guess I need to get on that in the gaining new knowledge department.

Anyway, that's all for this post.  Thanks for reading.
