Do you prefer staying inside with the blinds drawn or are you a get up and go see what the world is doing person?

Well, I don't have blinds, but it is true that the traverse rod in my living room is inoperative. I have to grab the draperies and hook them over the slider handles to open them. I prefer them open on nice days.

I can't just get out and see what the world is doing whenever I feel like it, because I have an entire month on $20 worth of gas, and that includes doctor visits, bank visits, picking up groceries at times, and, if needed, helping out with food boxes for my neighbors. Sometimes it gets tight.

@4meAndyou Is $20 for gas even enough? That's what, about 5 gallons of gas for the entire month?

I prefer to have the blinds open too.

@Musicman $20 is what I HAVE for gas. Of course it's not enough. It's 5 to 6 1/2 gallons, depending on gas prices that particular day.

The human body NEEDS sunlight, so I try to bask in whatever comes in through my windows.
