what comes down must go back up......

ok, so this day was consumed with draperies......now that the walls are painted, it is time for the newly cleaned window treatments to go back up....and that was easier said than done....for starts i vaguely recalled putting all of the hardware into a ziplock bag......the little hooks that attach each panel to the drawrod........not much one can do without the bag of hooks.......which was put in a safe place over 2 weeks ago.......safe places are dangerous locations for the semi-senile.....and therefore i could not put my hands on said hooks despite a dedicated search........until the sun had gone down and it appeared to my spouse that i had not done much of anything with an off-day........the hooks were ultimately located in the back of a tablecloth drawer......ooops.......and then came the hard part....figuring out how the hooks fastened onto the tops.......so far so good......but then came the valance in the guest room.......my spouse couldn't recall it being there in the first place......and then could not figure out how such a heavy rod could have been positioned there without support.......heck.....i took it down when the drycleaner van came......but i failed to take notes.....and so it remains on the guestbed......and not on the window until such time as one of us can make sense of the situation........ah well....ain't homeownership grand?........
