Within the last month of so I’ve improved my quality of life greatly—I removed almost all the childproof cabinet locks (should have done that over a year ago—it’s so wonderful to be able to just open a door), and I have taken off the window screens in the kitchen, breakfast area, lounge/den, guest room, and Jonathan’s room. Now I can see colors! So much more light comes in, and the colors of all my flowers (snapdragons, dipladenia/mandevilla, miniature roses, alyssum, asters, geraniums, pentas) are true and beautiful. I had a crystal hanging in the guest room but it never made rainbows b/c of the filtering properties of the screens . . . now I have rainbows. On the Girls’ Weekend I found a nice crystal for Jonathan’s room (which had felt rather like a cave to me before, since it never seemed to be light in there even at 2 p.m.), and yesterday we put it up—rainbows everywhere. He was delighted.
I did have to leave up the window screen looking straight out into the back garden, as otherwise the room would become unbearably hot, but hopefully by the end of October I can take that one off for the winter. I didn’t realize it would make such a difference having those off.
BTW, my manicure/pedicure was lovely yesterday. I think my favorite part of the pedicure is where you get the salts rubbed all over your feet and calves—everything tingles, it’s incredible.
Posted by elizabeth at September 25, 2003 09:14 AMI would absolutely love to have a pedicure. I remember the time when I was working at CertainTeed and Bryan was 11 or 12 yrs. old he used to massage my feet until I fell asleep. I paid him of course and it sure was worth the money!
