Which means that I pretty much can be fully seen when I am in the shower.  My upstairs neighbor assured me, &#8220;I&#8217;m gay.  It doesn&#8217;t matter to me &#8230;&#8221; but it is definitely a problem to be handled.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08938.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08938.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I obviously need to hang a curtain there, although I have to say I am a bit casual about nudity.  What do I really care.  If there&#8217;s some creepy Peeping Tom, I know how to take care of HIM, but I don&#8217;t have a strange shyness about the whole thing.  However, I realize, that SOMETHING must be done.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing was that the tween set, in their original explorations of my apartment, immediately discerned the issue.  Emma said to me breathlessly, &#8220;Sheila, people can see into your shower!&#8221;  &#8220;I know!&#8221; I replied.  &#8220;I have to do something about that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe 20 minutes later, Emma comes up to me and says, &#8220;Do you have any paper, Sheila?&#8221;  Carson hovered nearby.  There was obviously some sort of plan afoot.<\/p>\n<p>I went into my room and grabbed a huge pad of paper and gave it to the girls.  They snatched it, ready to go off on their secretive project, and I said, &#8220;There&#8217;s a funny looking box on my desk &#8211; it has a bunch of different colored pens in it, if you want to use it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carson and Emma RACED off, women on a mission.<\/p>\n<p>Half an hour later, I was in my study, and the girls, all three of them, came up to me, holding a big piece of paper, and BARELY containing their hysteria.  They all spoke at once.<\/p>\n<p>Carson: &#8220;Sheila &#8211; people can see into your shower, so we made a sign &#8211;&#8221;<br \/>\nEmma: &#8220;We made a sign because people can see into your shower &#8211;&#8221;<br \/>\nBecca: (the youngest)  &#8220;Look!  Look!  Look!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They presented me with the sign they had made, that I am supposed to put in the window facing the stairwell, and don&#8217;t think I didn&#8217;t!  I hung the sign up immediately.  Because it is Love made manifest.  By three tween girls.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what the girls made.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe full view:<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"DSC08924.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08924.jpg\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nhahahahahaha<\/p>\n<p>Now for some closeups.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08925.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08925.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThis comment is my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08927.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08927.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nhahahahahahaha<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08928.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08928.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08929.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08929.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08930.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08930.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08931.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08931.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08932.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08932.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08933.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08933.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08935.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08935.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThis next one CRACKS ME UP<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC08934.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/DSC08934.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThank you, girls!
