Mychael?

One of my quirks is that I must sleep with a fan; the room has to be cool and the fan has to point directly at my face. If I am too hot I cannot fall asleep or stay that way.

We have three fans in our room. One on my side of the bed, one on Carl's side and a ceiling fan above us. All three are on all the time.

Do you think that's weird?

Anyway...

My fan is about 3 feet away from the bed. It stands about 3 feet high and can oscilate. I never do that; it remains in one position. Always.

Why am I telling you this?

Because when I went to bed last night, the fan was in its normal position. I know it was because if I didn't feel the air I would have gotten up and moved it to where it needed to be.

When I woke up this morning, the fan was pointing at my feet.

If you move the fan head it makes a distinctive click-click-click noise. I didn't hear any clicks. I am a light sleeper and if it had clicked I would have heard it. Even if you pull up the button to make it oscilate, there is a popping sound. I heard nothing.

But the fan had moved.

Strange, huh?

Ceiling fans were one thing I didn't like about living in the south. I cannot have air blowing directly on me.

Do you drag your fan with you when you stat at other places?

You would die at my house, I don't have a single ceiling fan. I don't like the way they look so the single one that was in the house when we bought it was quickly replaced.

I don't take one with me... usually we stay at hotels so the noise of the a/c makes up for it. I don't sleep well, though.

I think the ceiling fans are ugly, too, but necessary in my house! :)

Ghosts??

Maybe... Mychael is my "ghost" I've mentioned before. I don't know if he did this or not.

Hmm, maybe it was the same guy who came in and cut some of my daughters hair?

And yes, it's weird that you sleep with a fan in your face. I would have the worst boogers ever if I did that.

I am the same about fans and air blowing directly on me. We have ghost problems, too.
If it is a ghost problem.................

Marni said...

Laurie: so that is what causes it?

Biddie: Not sure if it is... just freaked me out a little this morning.

Valerie said...

It was the boogey man. Watch out!

Mychael is so cool. I wish he'd visit me.

KB requires a fan too. I prefer one, but if it isn't hot I don't HAVE to have one. Out new house doesn't have ceiling fans in the bedrooms, so we are stand fanning it too!

Esther said...

I was going to say, it seems like your friend Mychael was the culprit. Maybe he's just messing with you.

OMG, I can't do anything without moving air. I can't stand being in the car without air moving. My house has a fan in every room except my dining room and restrooms. I like the noise of an oscillating fan, and I like the breeze of any kind of fan. I'm just hot natured. I would much rather put more clothes on than be hot.

In the winter I keep the ceiling fan on. If I get too warm I have to put a let out.

Is it a Southern thing?

Mychael sounds like fun. I swear, I smell cigrette smoke all the time. When I first moved into my house I would go in the spare bedroom and the closet door would be open. I swear I think my father comes by often. The weird thing about that is we weren't close. However, it's one way to keep him on my mind.
