My list may look longer, but SM definitely did more work than I did. No question. Most of my tasks were short spurts of energy, unlike the several hours it took him to assemble the grill. Also, notably missing from my list (other than showering)? Unpacking boxes. We didn't do much of that this weekend, but we did eliminate some boxes by virtue of assembling furniture and appliances that we bought.

Rationalization, I know.

We still have a lot, lot to do. But slowly...
