Yesterday, and this morning, my father and I decided that the shed my father had purchased needed to be assembled, so we worked on that. Yesterday, we were almost finished setting up the shed, but the roof of it wouldn't attach for some reason, so we decided to eat and put off the work until the next day. This morning, my mother had spoken with my father and they realized that the ground on which the shed had been placed was very nonuniform. In fact, it was actually more of a hill, than flat ground. I, of course, hadn't really noticed this and had just followed my father's instructions and helped to set up the shed. This morning, we had to move the shed into more level ground and dig up the place that the shed was to be put, to make it more level. We just about finished the digging of the first layer of dirt and we were adding bricks when my dad remembered I had a dentist appointment that day, so we quickly put all of the tools inside, got ready, and left. My father had warned about rain coming later in the day, so I figured there would be a little bit of rain during the drive home. That ended up being completely wrong. The rain was ridiculous, at first, like somebody was taking buckets of water and hurling them from the sky. My sister, who also had to get her teeth cleaned, was frightened as we drove home in the pouring rain.
As we approached home, the rain began to subside and it had dropped to a sprinkle by the time I came home. Although I was wet and cold, I didn't really mind, though, because I really didn't want to work on the shed again today anyway.
Anyway, off to read The Handmaid's Tale for Humanities.
