By the Numbers

1,120: Pounds of tree debris I loaded into Ken's truck on Friday night.
11,125: Pounds of retaining wall stones (60 lb each) that Ken and I laid on Saturday morning.
1,120: Pounds that Ken unloaded at the yard debris recycling center on Saturday afternoon.
7: Varieties of garlic (n=5) and shallots (n=2) that Lisa bought on Saturday and planted on Sunday
2: Gallons of primer Lisa bought to paint the garage Saturday afternoon
5: Hours it took to prime the garage -- just the first coat
480: Pounds of extra tree debris that Ken loaded on Sunday morning because it didn't fit in the first load
1: Number of pizzas ordered
480: Pounds of tree debris that Ken unloaded on Sunday afternoon
3: Windows that Lisa stained on Sunday
5: Number of days until they set the fence posts in concrete
14: Number of days until the fence is complete
9: Number of ibuprofen consumed by Lisa since Saturday

Total pounds moved this weekend: 14, 325. Just over 7 tons. I'm so sore in my forearms that I can barely make a fist. Typing hurts, so I'm extra glad I submitted my paper today. Fingers crossed for a speedy acceptance.
