So, something strange is going on.
For years, I've kept a little pewter goddess figurine above the door to any house I live in. No particular religious significance, but I like having what I've termed my "guardians" watching over me. I usually put some sort of small talisman over the door to any room that I'm going to spend a lot of time in, and then forget about it. This goddess figurine always goes over the front door.
It's been six years that I've been doing this. Something of a ritual on the day I move in, and then completely forgotten about until I move out. In all this time, nothing has disturbed them, or ever moved them out of place. At our last house, they sat in place for 3 years before being moved. Here, they've been in their spots for almost a year.
Except twice now in a short time I've found the little pewter goddess figurine laying on the floor. The first time I attributed to slamming the door too hard, even though I didn't remember slamming the door. The second time I had no real explanation. Each time, I put them back without much thought.
The first time it happened was over the weekend, and Maria's laptop died. Just *blink*, dead. We were able to reformat the hard drive, but no information could be saved. No explanation, just gone.
The second time was today.
Today the screen of my PC died. Fuzzy, white, ghost-like images are all I can get, otherwise it's a completely dead monitor.
I don't know that it means anything. I'm not a superstitious person. Still, if I find that little Lady laying along the side of the doorway again, with the only major electronic left so far untouched being my big-screen tv, I'm going to be concerned.
