I lived alone with my baby in an off-grid cabin on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia. Now I live alone on Prince Edward Island with my ten year old daughter.

day 4
Horrible day. Getting the rafters down was horrendous. They were heavy and I had to let them fall. I worked twelve hours and only got half of them down and two floor joists up and then I found my walls are all wonky so I just wept. At 3 am iwoke up with a terrible backache and cramping. I feared I was miscarrying. I walked in the silver moonlight to the cabin and stood inside and wept.
