There are four, perhaps five, steps leading up to the front door of my building.

There are five steps leading from the front door to the ground floor.

There are a good five to ten yards between the entrance to the ground floor and the first flight of stairs.

The first flight of stairs is nine steps long. Then there is a landing. Then there are eight steps to the second floor, and then a landing, and then eight steps to a landing, and then eight steps to the third floor landing, then eight steps to another landing, and eight more steps to the fourth floor.

Then it is another ten to fifteen yards to my apartment door.

I just got a fifty nine pound table from Ikea that far on my own.

Boo-yah.

Memo to self: if I need to fall into a swoon with a guarantee of being caught, do so near Jess.

Secondary memo to self: why the Hell would I need to fall into a swoon? Idiot.

I found a couch that'd fit you and that looks like it'd be attractive given the general decor of my place, plus it'd be light enough for me to get up the stairs without crying like a little schoolgirl. It's currently out of stock, but I wrote down the name and model number for the next time I go furniture shopping.

Go, you! Building up muscle mass helps women prevent osteoporosis and sarcopenia, which allows them to be healthier and less prone to falls as they age. Even if they still consider crying like little girls when they haul 59 pounds of furniture upstairs to the 4th floor. Alone.

[camwyn]

Oh, no. 59 lbs. isn't enough to make me cry. It's the idea of a full-sized sofa or couch that pushes me into that territory. Which is why the one I'm looking at is mostly a nice light easy to disassemble wood frame and another nice light cushion set. I know my limits.

Go you!

Merci.

Oh, and I just got the four associated chairs (not matching- they're from a different product line) up as well. Now to put them together.

[truebluespark]

You are so much awesome.

Alas for the accidents of biology and preference that prevent me from ever making some girl a good husband! Well, unless she doesn't mind me finding the parts for him on eBay and putting him together for her.

Go you for the furniture moving. I became a lot more lazy once I realized I had big (my height plus about 12", my weight plus a lot), strong (can lift me easily), young (my age minus 7-10) friends who would help for thanks, drinks, & pizza...

I came close to calling ladymondegreen and asking to borrow her Gentile, I'll admit.

[ymfaery]

Wow.

I totally can't remember how heavy 59lbs feels. ^_^a

[camwyn]

Oh, trust me, I can remind you if you like. my trapezius muscles won't be forgetting any time soon (I did a fair amount of 'lift partway, then SHOVE with your shoulder, and in the process made the traps a little angrier than one might expect).

[ymfaery]

I was actually thinking about the time I was job-searching and some of the descriptions I was browsing specified the applicant had to be able to lift up to 50lbs. I never got around to finding out if I could lift that much (if not more), but I'm doubtful.

Adopt me?

[ahmeemee.livejournal.com]

You're my hero. I was wiped just trying to screw the nails into my Ikea bookcase.

Alive?

[camwyn]

Yes. But oy, my forearms.
