165/365 - The Blinds are Back

So we can sleep past 6am now.

Back on Day 155, I reported on our Makeshift Blinds, as I had taken 5 sets of our room darkening / double cellular shades in to be repaired. Over the past 10 days, with the sun rising at 5:30 am (and rising earlier every morning!), we have not been able to sleep much past 6am. Much grumbling has ensued from all family members.

But no more. Our room darkening shades are back!

Fixed. Cleaned. The woman at the blind shop convinced me to have them cleaned, claiming "they will be just like new". Well, she was right. The crisp pleats, the smooth opening / closing mechanisms. I love my blinds again!



And I love that the room is dark even at 10am (not that I ever sleep in that late...)
