Two broken panes....I needed to break two before I got the hang of it. One is done. I am glad of two things: 1) I began on the alley side of the building and 2) the pane being replaced was Plexiglas.
All those instructions about not repeating the score...pfft. I had to! Tap, tap with the metal ball, then snap with pliers. After breaking two panes and the same amount of not-very-ladylike streams of exclamation, I have to admit dancing Rocky-style when I snapped the long shreds of glass along the cut.
Oh! And I found a sanding gadget for the drill! (I guess it was a pretty obvious addition, now that I think of it, but when I bought it, I had no clue.... until I saw it.... at the hardware store!
Cleaning another window produced a similar reaction!
I needed to return to the building later on Sunday. I had high hopes of one more fix-it, but I decided to walk around outside, looking and visioning. I stood across the street, in the neighboring parking lot. It was the same spot that only six or seven months ago, I sat in the Jeep, crying - bawling really, in the snowstorm. It was the day I said good-bye to the building. A blizzard was swirling snow all around me. I thought it was the journey's end for us.
Now, I own it!
I apologize - the tired's have returned... coincidently, any writing ability I might have had, seems to have 'exited left.'
May you have a wonderful week! Especially: Thank you!
Love and Blessings,

Ps. (sorry...) Saw a shooting star, right there, by building... sweetness...
