Meanwhile, our house ghost has been putting the toilet lid down 2x-3x a week for 3 weeks. Because of issues, I need it to be up. So I told her to please leave it up and when I go into the bathroom, I thank the air for leaving the seat up. It’s been a whole week.

…the ghost of my cats’ brother Midnight who went to another home. The last time I had a resident ghost kitty she was related to one of my cats, and disappeared when my cat died. Midnight has been with us 3 years now. (Even the house cleaner has seen him.)

It was so fun. Brushtail penguins take turns warming the eggs or going out to feed. Every time a penguin comes back to the nest, the couple raise their heads and call to the sky. The couple did the penguin call to each other. It was my friend who won the Halloween contest.
