Windows update

This is getting pretty old pretty fast. I got to the house on Modella yesterday at about 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon and entered through the garage door. I started putting out my recycling and trash. There were pieces of broken glass in the bottom of the recycle bin. Weird.

After I did that, I entered the house. Someone broke a window in the office. Great. At least they recycled. The place smelled like weed. Also great. I called the cops again. 

Not too long after that, I had Danny, Dad and Cas over there helping me out, but the only thing I could think of to do before they all arrived was put the little plants into the strip next to the sidewalk. I had plenty of nervous energy for that. 

The cops came and filed a report. We got another officer out to take fingerprints. She said she got lots of them, and she was sure they would lead somewhere. 

Dad and Danny boarded up the window. Cas arrived with extra window locks and some Febreeze. The whole house smelled. 

By the time we all left, we had boarded the window, repainted the front windowsill, cleaned up some of the dirt and glued a little bit of carpet into a spot these idiots had burned out- presumably with whatever they were smoking. 

Danny got Jim on the phone and explained the window situation much better than I could have. 

After we sealed the place up, we all went to Two Guys from Itlay for dinner. I appreciated the help so much. This morning, Jim came out and replaced the window. It took him three hours from start to finish, and that includes the time it took to get to a glass shop and have them put new glass into the frame where broken pieces had been. It was a very quick turnaround. 

While all of that was going on, my freshly-hired lawn crew came by. They got me all fixed up. Between the new window and the nice lawn, I don't think we can get this house on the market fast enough. 

Oh- here's the new window: 

I can't peel off the stickers or otherwise jostle it this evening. We have to wait for the sealant that's holding it in to dry.

What a stupid 24 hours. I'm glad we have tickets to the circus tonight. I just need to get a little dolled up and head out. Cas and I are taking Danny and Laurie with us. They said they're down to clown.
