That’s The Face Of A Free Man

I’m a day behind where I had hoped to be at the beginning of the week. Discovering that the blocks were too low was a curveball I wasn’t expecting. I thought I would be done with the wall on Tuesday. I was also thrown off by the weather. The report said it was going to rain Wednesday, Thursday, and today, so I made plans to do other things, but it only rained yesterday. Had I known it wasn’t going to rain Wednesday, I would have finished smashing the concrete, and then today, I could have raised all the blocks up.
So, I’m a day behind, but what’s one day in the 13 billion years the universe has been around? It was nice to give my arm a rest for a couple of days, anyway. Despite two days off, my arm was still jelly. I tried to tag in my left arm today, but it’s really only good as support for my right hand.
To celebrate my release from the chain gang, I made Mediterranean Sweet Potatoes for dinner. So, not a bad end to the week.
