Day 76: Where's that Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder when you need some?

OK, the above is a reference to Harry Potter's fictional magics. But I do wish there were a better way to get Mari's room darker during the day for naps. I definitely notice she tends to sleep better when it's a darker day. The blackout fabric I've sewed to the backs of the blinds isn't great. The other day, when it was bright, I tried throwing a heavy blanket over the blind and that seemed to help. But getting it on and off was hard, since I'm short. So I've just bought some more blackout curtains though I still don't have rods. Why are curtains so expensive?!?
