The wind, this brutally cold weather and the old windows on my house.

Was sitting here a little bit ago trying to get a breathing treatment completed when I heard something in my bedroom. Wasn't sure what it was so I go in not really knowing what I was looking for. Well, come to find out it was the wind trying to rip one of the windows from my house.

I've got the really old style windows, the kind where you have to hang the screens each spring and then change them back for the winter. Well, apparently the wind didn't like that my contractor won't be able to get me all set up with up to date windows until the spring so it decided to blow so hard that it ripped one of the latches at the top of the window off of the house leaving the window flapping against the house by the one latch. It even tore the hook out from the inside that was keeping it shut.

So, I go out in the damn frigid weather and have to try and wrestle with this huge F-ing glass window against 25 mph winds. I got it down and put away but damn am I mad.
