Add Windows to the List

Replacing the worst of our old windows (since we can’t afford to do them all this year) is a part of our home improvement work this summer. Sadly, Lilly has decided that the new windows are scary.

It’s the noise. These nice, super-efficient windows have very tight clearances. While it’s barely audible to me, there is indeed a tiny sliding squeak whenever we open or close any of the new windows. It sends Lilly shooting off into another room or the basement to hide.

I can only hope she adjusts or that it’s just a symptom of our recent set-back.

After all, our old vacuum died, and that bad boy used to drive her under the bed for hours. The new bagless one doesn’t seem to phase her. In fact, I nearly tripped over her recently while cleaning because she was actually following me around while I vacuumed.

That’s unheard of, I tell you.

Vacuum victory … window loss. I guess I should accept that it’s always going to be something.
