it probably is normal. because your os lies in rootfs...

sms call logs etc shouldn't affect anything because those are in whole another partition. but if your os needs to access rootfs (add new repository to application manager etc) then the usage of memory chip naturally varies

rootfs is a compressed filesystem. this means the remaining free space reported is not the actual free space, but a good guess. so it'll fluctuate a bit, even without any changes to the filesystem.
