straight

Ironing is very soothing, almost meditative. Today I ironed cotton curtains and the fabric was so easily straightened by the iron, it felt I could've gone on past the five I ironed. But the squeaking sound our ironing board made, was not at all soothing, more irritating. So I guess the meditative and the irritative balanced out each other and the ironing was just the same old bore it always was.

But the result of the two white curtains covering our hall closet and hiding all the jackets and hats and shoes and bags is very nice. The rest three (purple) went to living room windows and made us both swear never to buy polyester curtains again. Although they look nice and shine moderately and are cheap compared to say... er... silk..., they're really not worth the trouble.
