A lazy Sunday...

Shiloh got me up at the regulation hour of 6 am - it's as if she has an alarm clock between her ears - and immediately after her morning constitutional, I went back to bed until just in front of 7 am. Between then and two hours later, I managed my ablutions, breakfast and finished the translation due tomorrow morning. Then I got ready to go to church (which is to say, lightning strikes again!). There was a lunch after the service, which gave me an opportunity to meet some of the congregation on an informal basis. I got back to the house around 2 pm, after stopping for groceries.

The next translation due is a 7,000 word document, of which 4,000 words have been pretranslated. I kept myself busy enough moving stuff around the house to not sit down and touch a word of it today. (The other document is about 8,500-9,000 words, where the range is due to there being no editable source file, the least noxious aspect of which is that no word count is possible, or perhaps that no pretranslated text comes with it.)

Fixing the broken drawer of the sheet music cabinet was actually pretty easy, since the damage to the "bottom" of the drawer was minimal. I just had to remove the nails from the front panel of the drawer, align the parts, drill some holes, and drive some screws. I also managed to reassemble my dad's old drafting table, which now provides a nice horizontal surface on which to sort papers (as long as I'm standing).

Cheers...
