I got new windows free of charge! Unfortunately this is China, which means that replacing the old windows involves smashing the glass with a crowbar and then manually tearing the metal frames out of the wall. So basically my entire apartment is covered in bucketloads of dirt, my woodwork is splintered and torn up, and there is exposed caulk around the new windows with broken metal rods sticking out of bare, jagged concrete. Not to mention that I'll be finding pieces of broken glass for the rest of the year.

Icing on the cake: I wanted to ice my ankle after running this morning (I'm not sure if it's just my shoe that's irritating it or if I actually have tendinitis) but discovered that the guy unplugged my fridge when he cut out the window frames yesterday. So basically whatever food was in there has spoiled and all my ice cups melted. Now I have water damage too.

On a more positive note, the situation outside is finally improving. They're digging us out little by little and slowly removing the piles of glass and twisted metal that has twice trapped me out of my own home.
