Item 97: Curtain panels and clips

When Mimi moved from her dungeon-like apartment at the Personal Care Home to her new, bright and cheery apartment at the Personal Care Home, there weren't any curtains or blinds on the french doors.

There's a KMart near her facility. (Yes, another attempt to buy something at KMart.) My sister and I drove over there to find some basic curtains for the doors.

My shopping experiences at KMart are living proof that their just in time delivery system is out of whack. As is usually my luck at that store (doesn't matter which location), they didn't have much in stock. So my sister and I stood in the curtain department for ten minutes willing curtains to appear. Nothing happened. We settled for these three panels and clips.

The three of us jerry-rigged them onto the rods and they were acceptable and at least provided some privacy for her. We're not sure when it occurred but sometime within the first week, the people at the Home took our panels and clips down and hung sheer panels and drapes. Apparently they had them out to be cleaned but didn't tell us. Ten minutes of agony at KMart, the drive there and back, the time to hang these panels up and the time spent convincing Mimi they looked nice were all for naught.
