The Return

Not sure why, but our ghost decided to make himself/herself known again this week.

First a little back story. I need to have a fan on in my room all night long all year round for the white noise which helps me to sleep. Well for some reason, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by silence. At first I thought the power had gone out or a breaker had tripped. I looked at my clock to find out that I was not that lucky. It was still brightly displaying the time of 3:30 am. So, tired and grumpy I sat up in bed to get up and check the fan. As soon as I did the fan turned back on. I still got up to make sure it was tightly plugged in, and yes it was.

Now the ghost also seems to be trying to get me fired from my job. I hate when my alarm goes off in the morning, like anyone else. It usually takes about 3 minutes of my alarm at full blast to wake me. A few weeks ago, I never woke up and ended up being 30 minutes late for work. I tested my alarm that evening and it was functioning without issue. Well yesterday morning I was awakened by my wife getting out of bed. I lay in bed knowing my alarm would be going off shortly. Well it did for 5 seconds and then shut off. Fortunately I was already awake so this did not effect me, but the ghost must not have realized I was awake.

Before I close, I just want to give another shoutout to my best bud Kurt Yordy who runs Feed Your Family Feed The World. Their food is great, and you get to help a great cause at the same time.
