Madness encroaching

[cornerofmadness]

Ever get a song or a saying stuck in your head? I have two and they're taking turns.
The Song - The Slinky song (and if you're not old enough to remember that don't tell me I might just hurt you)
The Saying - Post Hoc ergo Propter Hoc . Don't even ask me why that is echoing in my brain.

Suddenly now at least THREE places I'm putting in my resume want NO letters of recommendation and just the names and phone numbers of my references. I could kiss them. I wish they'd all do this. It makes much more sense than a bullshit letter.

I wasn't sure I was going to put this here but hell why not. Mom confessed something to me after we left the casino. Why she waited, I can guess at but she figured I was the only person who wouldn't laugh at her. The dead have spoken to her before just like me but she tries to rationalize it away. My mom's sister's been dead a year this month. A few weeks ago my mother got a phone call that went like this.

Mom - Hello
Caller - Judy, come get me
Mom (instantly recognizing the voice but won't admit it) - Who is this?
Caller - It's your sister, Loretta
Mom - It can't be
Caller - Of course it can. Come get me. You promised me you wouldn't leave me here.
Mom - I can't come get you.
Caller - Judy, please come get me. My house is filled with strangers.

And the line went dead. The people who bought my aunt's house are living there now. Mom wants to know if I believe her. I told her she just described classic EVP. Mom wants to tell Sherri (her niece) and go over there. I'm like wait for me. You two have no idea what you're doing. Though it's been a while since I called a spirit.

Maybe I am going mad...
