I found out Thursday that I will cost me an estimated $670 to repair the damage to the walls in my living room (courtesy of a leaky air conditioner and my cat Reynaldo, who repeatedly pulled down the curtain rods) and my bathroom (shower head replacement gone wrong).
Looking for the bright side here, coming in the front door to see new window treatments will raise my spirits. The curtains that are up there now are old and dirty, but I can't replace or even wash them now because so much damage has been done to the rod I'd never get them back up again. And I can't tell you how icky it is to start the day looking up at a barely functioning shower head surrounded by a white plastic trash bag.
Oh yeah, and my handyman is cute in a scruffy way.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Yikes! When I finally replaced the drapes in my living room, the whole room felt lighter and airy.

We spend too much time at home for not to be pleasing to the eye!!
