One of the bedroom windows is cracked on the outside glass. This is not a big window but it is thin and long. Lowes came out to do a full window and frame replacement estimate and they said $1300. The Lowes guy suggested to Owen that we could just get the glass replaced for much less, around $300, and gave him a company to call. So that company came out and said $900 just for the glass. Owen decided to call one more company and they came out yesterday and said $350! Yes, we scheduled the replacement with the last company. This whole thing made me a little peeved that a company would charge three times as much and you know there are folks that don’t know any better and get duped. That is a horrible way to do business. A friend of ours says that some contractors base pricing on the value of homes… what is that?!? That’s abuse if I must say! I’m glad that Owen did some shopping around.
Despite what I said in the previous post, we watched the whole Dodgers game. We agreed that we haven’t ever been in a position to want wins for both teams. I grew up in Dodger stadium. I swear my dad wanted a son lol. And I think I just grew up to detest baseball because it was forced down my throat. Ironically, I was also forced to every home Lakers game in the 80s and basketball became my sport. Anyways, I’ve always rooted for Yu Darvish because I never knew of another Japanese Persian person before and I was instantaneously connected. And while he had a stint in LA, he really has done so well in San Diego. Last nights game was a great show of determination for him and I applaud that. Darvish shut Ohtani out and that is a feat.
But I am Dodger Blue. And I hope that they stomp the Yankees.
Yesterday, our friend came up to spend some time with Owen. He is an OR nurse and I told him about being traumatized in the ER last week. And he told me that he would be happy to hear the patient screaming because that tells him that the patient is still breathing and understanding pain, that it gives them more time. He said if the trauma team sees a patient who isn’t vocal, they know they don’t have time. New prospective.
My boss has always said to remember prospective.
Nice cool morning. Tidy up day and spend some quality time with Owen.
