But That's Okay, Really

The morning started as many mornings, bright, cheerful, peaceful. Too perfect! I had decided to wash all the windows from the outside. I'd prepared well in advance; mop with the squeeze thingy on the handle, rolling bucket, a stiff brush, old rags, Clorox, ammonia and Clean Shower to spritz on afterwards. I took off all the screens, hosed them off, stacked them to air dry. Now comes the situation...........as I started cleaning the sliding glass doors......I heard a strange, frightening sound......like a ping, crackling noise! The inner double paned glass just began to CRACKLE into a million pieces. I stood there in awe, marveling at the way the pane stayed in place but was broken.....this lasted for a couple of seconds, then I realized that eventually it was going to crumble onto my carpet and no amount of vacuuming or sweeping would ever remove those tiny pieces. I needed a plan......hummmm..........I needed some Elmer's glue, a sponge brush and alot of paper......which, thank goodness I had............Recipe for shattered glass: bowl of warm water; add Elmer's glue (all of it); mix well; sponge onto glass pane gently; roll out newspaper or freezer paper or tissue paper.......just roll enough out to cover the wetted surface; let dry. Now when the worker come to remove the thiny, it won't mess up the floor. Back to cleaning the windows. Finally at the end of the day, as I rinsed out the mop and rags, put away the cleaning products and was about to pour out the water in the rolling bucket......my cell phone somehow landed in the water.........!@#$%^&*(~+_)(*&^%$.....But that's Okay! Really.
