Beware of falling shower curtains!

Wednesday evening I noticed that the left side of shower curtain was dragging a little bit low on the floor.  Reason?  The left side of the rod had slipped about 2" lower than usual. Odd.  Strange.  How did that happen?  Not sure, but I pushed it up to its rightful place and went on.  Fixed.

Yesterday as I was turning on the faucets in prep of a morning shower, I heard, then felt, the crash of the shower curtain.  The entire curtain, liner, and rod fell, landing on the back of my head. Ouch!  That hurt!  Bad!  Not seeing stars, but close!

Gary came home (mainly because he had just left and I called him because I thought I was dying), and we returned the shower rod/curtain to its proper place.  The reason it fell?  He said the stuff on the rod was too heavy.  Really?  After 8 years of being in place it just decided to fall because it was now too heavy?  Then he reminded me that I had looped the three bathroom rugs on the shower rod on Tuesday evening.  They were fresh from the washer and dryer and Sarah/Amy would mop the bathroom floor when they cleaned on Wednesday so I left them on the rod to be sure they were nice and dry before they were replaced.  Maybe he was right?

Later just before I left the house for my day's adventures, I heard a crash.  You guessed it.  The shower curtain had fallen again.





No injuries this time.  However, on the shopping list for Meijer was a new shower rod!  To be installed over the weekend.  (I'm sure Landon will want to help!)
