Physics, Fiorella-style

It's finally happened--Fiorella has slipped into an alternate universe.

As usual, Husband went off to work before Fio had quite awakened.  As usual, Sonia Dog begged for a bone and a treat.  As usual, Fio adjusted the thermostats and brought in the paper.  As usual, she raised the front room shades by pulling on the back cord.

But when she tried to raise the den shade by pulling on the front cord--as usual--the shade went further down rather than going up.

Yes, it had reversed itself overnight.

And if that doesn't prove string theory, nothing will.
