SHEER PRIVACY???

           It’s amazing how sheer white curtain panels made me feel much more private than I probably was. I don’t know how old the curtains were, but Kuma managed to shred one of the panels trying to look outside without the sheer curtain screen. I’m sure from the outside it looked as though a poor old person lives here…true, but it doesn’t have to look that way.

          This morning I managed to pull down the rod that held all four curtain panels. I tossed the shredded one and prepared the others for the Goodwill box I seem to have going all the time. Then, I ordered four new panels from Jaque Penne’ and they’ll arrive later this week. I could have picked them up at the Tukwila store but am sure I would have used up the $8.95 delivery fee in wear and tear and gas for the car plus I’m worth far mor than $8.95 an hour…or at least I was.

          So, my front living room window is sans sheer curtains. It’s wide open except for the drapes that are on either side. I don’t ever draw those drapes but maybe I’ll think about it depending on how visible I am to the neighbors. It’s amazing how big that window now appears and how close the outside now appears.

          I think I’ll need assistance to get the rod with the new panels aboard back on its holders. I hate to ask but I’m afraid one of my sons or my granddaughter will need to pay me a visit. Perhaps I can entice whichever one with yummy food or a promise not to call for help again for at least a month. I know they don’t mind coming to help me, but I just hate to have to ask.

          Now that I’ve done my post for today, I’m going to go get on my couch with Kuma and determine just how much of a fishbowl I’m living in without those sheer curtains.
