In which I thought I had a poltergeist.

[helen99]

About an hour after I fell asleep, there was this CRASH-CLATTER as things started falling off shelves. Of course we woke up abruptly and jumped up to look around. Nothing was moving in the room - but there was a small pile of things that had fallen to the floor. Ok, maybe they were just badly placed and fell down of their own accord. Back to sleep. CLONK. Something bulky fell off a shelf to the wood floor below. Still nothing. Back to sleep. CLACK! Again?? Jumping up, I muttered something about possibly having a poltergeist in the room... Then we saw my ball python Matilda gliding sedately across the floor near the closet... Last time I took her out of her tank, I forgot to put the lid clamps back on (go me).

I need to take her out and let her run around more ... I think she enjoyed herself immensely while cruising around my room and this morning she looked very content, basking on her rock.
