Ironing
One window done. How long did that take?
I dragged my ironing board out of the garage, and of course the cover was filthy. I decided to wash it, but when I tried to pull it off it disintegrated in my hands. Hmmm, well, it's probably about 20 years old. So, off to Target, found another and also found dark blue stretchy sheets. Thinking that might go over better (for mass appeal) than my bright red ones, I bought them too. Only thing is, I'm way too tired to make the bed. Pictures tomorrow!
I found an iron and began to remember how to use it; it's probably been ten years. I added water and started on the first half-curtain. Or are they drapes when they go down to the floor? This was truly a tiresome chore. It took a while to pull it all together, i.e. how hot? how much steam? what's that white stuff the iron is leaving behind???
Who buys 100 percent cotton living room curtains and then washes them before hanging? Me. Brilliant. By the second piece, I had remembered how to iron and almost began to enjoy converting crinkles to smooth blue.
My problem is that this task took most of the day, and I still have to repeat it for the bedroom window and get done before the realtor gets here with her camera! Damn.
I'm exhausted, and after this I hire somebody to do this shit.
