Just keeping count

Things done so far this weekend:

• Lots of firewood from The Shedding Tree chopped up (there is yet far more to chop)
• One half-cord wood rack bought
• Three gallons of purple interior paint, along with ancillary rollers, pans, stir sticks, etc. bought
• New tub  of pre-mixed Peel-Away stripper bought, after we used up the thirty-year-old box of the powdered version (this stuff does an astonishingly good job of getting multiple coats of paint off, all at once)
• New shelves bought to replace a collapsing set of shelves in the shed
• Mini-blinds partially scrubbed down, to get rid of years of built-up dirt
• Three-quarters of the yard mown
• Half the yard scanned with a magnet stick for loose, lost nails (also finding pounds of other and older miscellaneous hardware buried in the dirt)
• About two-thirds of the household laundry washed and dried

Things not yet done:

• Fold and put away previously washed and dried laundry
• Assemble the wood rack so aforesaid chopped firewood can be stacked
• Invert and finish scrubbing down the mini-blinds
• Build and paint window screens
• Trim back the yellowed parts of the climbing roses
• Roundup the resurgent poison oak (again)
• Assemble new shelves for the shed and transfer everything to them from the collapsing shelves

There were, of course, various ways of stopping him.  Fnord.
