By the numbers

the weekend
one unanticipated chance to use my visitor pass
two trays of onions and sweet potatoes roasted with sage
three a cappella groups
two walks
one staplegun
one angry inch
one gym visit
one bag of condiments and baking supplies, unexpectedly gifted
two movies
nine friends having take-out along with their banter

vacation, day one
three donuts with a difference
two movies
one library visit with time to admire the painted ceiling
one load of laundry
one batch of eggnog truffles
one sinkful of dishes washed
one batch of onion-garlic-sage rolls
fifty-three roasted chestnuts
