She asked me why I had the drapes closed when it was such a beautiful day. I said, "Give me a break--'Bob' just left--you saw him. I haven't had a chance to open them yet." She looked completely puzzled by my response. I said, "I CAN'T have the blinds open when he is here--don't you know that?" She had no idea.

When we moved to the next place, I came home from work one day to find that he had NAILED boards over one window in our new living room and screwed an old blanket into the woodwork to cover the other one. I just looked at him and said, "How am I supposed to remove that stuff when people come over?" He said, "Why would you want to?"

I love having the sunlight come in my windows now. LOVE it.
