Yesterday

Just because I want to remember what happened and today was totally boring, I'll post about yesterday.

Yesterday was Monday. You know those Mondays where you sort of drag yourself to work by 11? There were reasons and unfortunately not the very best one, which would be I decided not to get out from under the puff.

Some backstory.

I had a tree removed from my yard about a month ago. The tree looked ok but at some point I realized I could see right through it and started to worry some night it was going to fall and crush the house. Unlike most of the things I have profound stress about, it turned out it was a well founded fear. It was completely and profoundly rotted, I took pictures of the stump because I was so amazed it was still standing.

Now they did a super job on taking down the tree but they managed to obliterate a window in my living room in the process. How long could it take to get the glass replaced in a broken window you might ask?

Well, turns out you can't replace the glass in a thermal pane window, you have to replace the whole part that goes up and down, which is called the sash. As my Dad would say, you learn something new every day but what he failed to mention is that at my age, I also forget something new every day, so it's just a wash.

Well go figure, it turns out that we have custom windows.

Custom (d.) = screwed

It was a Pella. I (I being Jessica) sadly took over my custom broken window and had the guys at the local Pella store order up a new window. They tell me three weeks until I get it and I am not thrilled at all, let me tell you. Nothing says classy during the holidays like a trash bag over your living room window.

Finally, my new custom window comes in - I was SO happy. Right up until when my carpenter unwrapped it and found that a giant window-shaped piece of french toast would have been better than what they sent us.

Instead of having a window that moved up and down, we were holding a custom made left to righter. Note that all the people do at the Pella store is order windows, it's not like I went to Lowe's or tried to get a window from Outback Steakhouse.

That's why I was late. I had to return the window and reorder the new one so with any luck, when my mother in law comes over on Christmas, she won't be greeted by a hefty bag.

Meanwhile at work, people showed up to do a photo shoot on a car that wasn't done yet.
The best part it - we didn't know they were coming!!
Then, our biggest customer, the one that owns the car? showed up to watch the photo shoot and stayed alllll day.

Ohhh baby - what could have made a more excellent Monday.
Wait - did I mention that Mark had taken the red-eye home from California the night before?
Good times, people. Good times.
