MORTIFIED

The building I am living in is being renovated. As old tenants move out they are redoing each suite. When I moved in they had no other vacancies so they wanted to use my place as a show suite if someone wanted to take a look. They also wanted to leave the furnishings in here since I didn't really have any. This kinda worked out for me because now I could postpone dishing out money for a couch, table, window coverings, etc for a month. The stuff they had in here wasn't the best quality but it's better than I could afford so I have been enjoying living in luxury. The couch was so comfortable that I fell asleep at 7pm, I woke up only to move to my own bed at midnight. I had a wonderful sleep, which I needed to get my brain to finally kick in. This morning I made a connection, which I should have made when I first moved in. As a science major, I am usually excited about new discoveries, not so much this time. As I said before the stuff in this place is not the best, including my bedroom curtains. In fact they are about the quality of a sheet one would use when doing shadow puppetry. So if it is dark outside... and my light is on inside... well I'm sure you know what I'm getting at. Needless to say I was mortified, I wanted to curl up into the fetal position and cry in the closet. This was followed by the discovery that you can see into the bathroom through the kitchen window. I am somewhat consoled by the fact that I live on the second floor, and you can't see easily into my place from the street, but from other buildings is a different story.
