Dandelions and Daydreams

I never knew I could get deliriously excited over a bathroom door, but that is exactly how I feel right now. The new little apartment that we are living in had a curtain for the door to the bathroom. Now first you have to understand that this is a really small apartment. The way to the bathroom is through the bedroom and there literally isn’t enough space for a door to open into the bathroom. When we first moved in, the door was a gauzy shower curtain hung in the door frame. While I don’t mind having a see through bathroom door…much, it could get a bit uncomfortable for overnight company (or company in general) to a) walk through the bedroom and b) use the bathroom with just a see-thru curtain for a door.

We set out with the intention of finding a non-see-thru curtain to hang in place of the current one. I took the measurements, and Brenton and I headed for Home Depot. On a whim, we looked through the bi-fold door section. I know now why there isn’t a door in the door frame–the frame is too short. Standard door height is 80 inches, this door is 75 inches tall. Much to my delight, we found a vinyl multi-fold door. It’s like the kind of door used in restaurants to close off a meeting/party room. Brenton trimmed the extra 5 inches off the bottom of the door and voila! We have a bathroom door.

I stood in the door for 5 minutes opening and closing it. Ah…privacy.

I’ve been trying to find the right words to post about this video. I’ve been watching it almost constantly for two days. I can’t put it into words thought. The wounds were too deep, and I’m not sure they have all healed. They have just faded into the past. Another bad memory erased by love.
