I went to the gym for a very short time today (just under an hour), but I doubt I could have done much more. Dave the trainer had me do exercises with this odd bondage equipment on so he could pull on me while I was trying to do lunges or step up onto a bench. I was tired enough that I had to sit down to catch my breath. We headed over to Joe’s Cellar afterwards and I forced myself to eat a grilled cheese sandwich (with bacon and tomato) with some tomato basil soup. I had one whole Pabst Blue Ribbon and had quite a buzz on. Now I’m just enjoying the endorphin rush.

Oh, and I called Pella Windows again about the noise and I have to tell anyone who is thinking of buying one to avoid them like the plague. The local service guy believes me when I tell him it’s making sound in the wind, but he’s never heard of anyone else with that problem in the 20 years he’s worked at Pella and he wants me to fix it myself. It’s a TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR window. It’s probably like FIVE TIMES what I could have paid for a cheapie, and it MAKES A HIDEOUS NOISE when the wind blows. And the Pella service guy wants me to fix it myself. I finally found the number of the main Pella office in Indiana and they told me that they would NOT talk to me and I had to talk to the local guy. I’m wondering if it would be worth another $2500 to hire a lawyer and have the lawyer get on their case to have the window fixed.

Honestly, anything that regularly wakes me up in the middle of the night like that seriously pisses me off. Now if I could get a good night’s sleep, I probably would feel better.

P.S. I want a new iMac and a MacBook Pro.
