So, yesterday I went to TJ Maxx in Downtown Crossing to see
if I could find some Christmas gifts for some people I am stumped on. I round
the corning and see this perfect shower curtain rod that I NEED! It’s the
rounded one that gives me extra space AND it BOLTS into the wall! Let me tell
you why it needs to bolt into the wall…
When I first moved in to my condo, the guy who lived there
before me offered to take me to dinner. I accepted and he gave me pointers on
the house, the quirks of the house and the down low on the neighbors! He also
showed me around town to help me familiarize myself with key places like
Starbucks and Whole Foods! VERY IMPORTANT to know!
During his “down low” on the neighbors he informed me that I
was in a safe neighborhood except…he stops! EXCEPT for the HOME INVASION that
happened NEXT DOOR! He believes it was an isolated incident. However, having
moved in to a new place and I hadn’t yet installed my house alarm, it concerned
me.
That night I went to bed. At about 2am I hear this HUGE
bang! I grab my pepper spray, phone and keys. I read somewhere that if you don’t
have a home alarm, keep your keys near you so if anything happens, you can
press panic and some alarm will sound and hopefully spoof the intruder. Also,
if I got the dog and myself out of the house, I could speed off in my bare feet
and pajamas! I sat in my bed looking at
my big huge dog curled up next to me. I look at her and whisper “Now would be a
good time to start barking!” She does nothing. “Go get ‘em! Ahhhh….Attack!” I whisper
to her. Again. She stays put.
I creep in the hall way and realize, this awesome house
build in 1910 didn’t have a hall way light installed. I do the next best thing
and flip the switch in the bathroom with pepper spray aimed and ready. I glance
in the bathroom and what do you know? Oh, the shower curtain rod fell down! Crisis
averted! No home invasion here!
So, yesterday, I bring my lovely prized shower curtain rod
on the train. It’s huge! I probably smacked a few people in the head with it as
I walked by. I tried soo soo hard not to but it was inevitable! I just barely
made the train and it was standing room only. So, guess who got to stand on the
commuter rail with her prized shower curtain rod? ME! It felt like everyone was
looking at me. Wondering…why on earth would you bring that thing on the train!
Well…now we know! And if I smacked you in the head with it as I walked by…
super sorry!!
That is all!
