The mysterious case of the missing window

Now, I wasn't going to write another post on the window situation - this is, after all, my creative blog - then again, I'm creatively trying to figure out how to stop the rain from splashing straight into our attic! I have read all of your dear comments, which I want to ♥ thank you ♥ all heartily for, but it is Day 3 now and still no repair man! Instead I received a letter from the company this morning letting me know that some time this week someone will call me to make an appointment! An appointment? This is an emergency! It's not about choosing wallpaper... On the bright side: apparently they are going to replace the window free of charge.

Sleepless in B-town

My love/hate relationship with the moon. I took this picture yesterday, late afternoon, from my kitchen window. Mesmerizing, isn't it?

As I mentioned in my previous post I had trouble getting some longed for rest last night again. This always happens when there is a full moon! I'm so tired that I'm typing this with my eyes half-closed. Apart from the moon, something else kept me awake....I was hearing these crackling noises, and at about 3:00 a.m. an earsplitting bang that really freaked me out! I jumped out of bed and checked the entire house immediately. I was on my own, since hubby was on nightshift. I thought that maybe a pipe had burst, but then I saw what had happened - one of the windows in the roof had shattered. How could this happen? It's a top-brand double-glazed window pane. They're supposed to last forever... So, in the wee hours of the morning I had to sweep up the shards and also vacuum the floor. There were an amazing amount of glass splinters everywhere. I hope I didn't wake the neighbours. When my hubby came home this morning he secured the window with a sheet of plastic and tape. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the snow doesn't melt or worse, it's going to rain. We will have to wait until Monday to call the repair service, hoping that there's a guarantee on the window. I'm going to put my feet up now and do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Hope everyone else has had a good night's sleep!
