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.
