While the Americans look forward to fireworks and a day off work, although others live in dread of triggers, I began my day slowly. I woke to a dream in which I was greeting, apparently after a long absence, a child who then clung to me as we entered the house of my friends. In my dream, I was a father, although I guess the child was adopted, given that she looked Asian. She was identical to the kid in the Thai movie I watched with Erin and Miriam, so that explains where she came from, although not why she arrived.
During and after breakfast I listened to the programming on CBC which is what I usually do on a Saturday.
Therefore it was one before I began work on the tin shed extension. I started by removing more of the structure that was in the way, and then laying the foundation which is made from logs I peeled last year set upon rocks and short pieces of pine and fir. I have nearly enough pallets to make a support for the floor, but the next step is to bring chipboard and plywood from the pallet shed as well as what pallets might make a better foundation.
It was really buggy, especially in that area behind the tin shed, so that sapped a lot of my will. As well, it was a hot day, so I decided to take a shower before the cloud cover made that chilly and then read and relax.
I took a bit of a nap and then finished reading, and seemingly, editing, In Light of Ray, which has more errors than it should given how many times I have gone through it. That gives me another book to work on.
It is a good book though, and I am now eager to get into the sequel, Working for Ray. Hopefully it will be as good a book, although it is written quite differently.
