Hi Cando, I'm going to play the dice game today, I've been thinking that I need this thread to keep me on track.
You have gotten a lot of yesterday's list done! I love how colorful your post is but the green color is kind of hard to read. It might be my eyes--the other day someone from the building called me and asked me to go down to the basement to read the serial number off of the hot water heater, so they could relay it to the repair person. I went down, and had to go back upstairs for a flashlight and a magnifying glass! The writing was too small and the light was too dim--so I know my eyes are getting old.
Anyway, I'm going to put my long list here. I'm going to use an 8 minute timer and I'll post after I do a few rolls so I don't put us way ahead of our lists, like I always do.
1 Work on trade books 2 Work on trade books 3 Declutter "extra 8 minutes" 4 Financials 5 Book job 6 Straighten up fridge 7 Check greeting card box 8 Cut up lunchmeat for the cats 9 Declutter 10 Financials 11 Clean toilet 12 Clean bathroom sink and surfaces 13 Book job 14 Write out a greeting card 15 Write out a greeting card 16 Invoice for senior client 17 Declutter 18 Sweep BR floor 19 Book job 20 Clean kitchen sink 21 Cut fresh veggies 22 Cut up fruit 23 Declutter 24 Financials 25 Book job 26 Financials 27 Synch clocks 28 Start rice mix cooking in microwave 29 Sort plastic bags 30 Delete emails
Okay, I need to get the dice roller software up--my first roll is 10, Financials.

Okay, I worked on financials for 8 minutes, then I rolled a 6 which was create an invoice, which took longer than 8 minutes but I wanted to finish it so I kept going. Then I rolled a 9, which was 8 minutes on my book job.
Next roll is: 7, Straighten up fridge

I did the fridge, it's all organized now. The next 2 rolls were "declutter", so I finished the sunporch, the bathroom and the computer desk. I also fed the cats and collected some composting to take outside.
Next roll: 11, clean bathroom sink and surfaces

Diane dtesposito , I am soo sorry. I kept looking here to see if you had posted and I didn't see any pms. I guess that I needed to refresh the page as you had obviously been here a while. So, sorry. Lots going on here at the moment. I'll be back! You are doing wonderfully on your list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CD

That's okay, I'm plugging along here, and getting things done slowly. It seems like everything that I thought would take 8 minutes is taking twice that! The bathroom sink and surfaces took a while since I hadn't cleaned them recently and I did a thorough job. I also restocked some toilet paper and refilled the hand soap container. The next roll was cleaning the kitchen sink, and then I decided to take the compost out before it got too late. Then I figured I'd also go upstairs and water my neighbor's plants before it got dark, otherwise I would have had to turn all the lights on up there, and remember to turn them all off. My next roll is 9, work on trade books. Diane

dtesposito -- on the work in bathroom, kitchen sink & taking out the compost. Even though I did not roll it, I had to go ahead and pay bills. It is on my list, but I had not rolled it, yet. I'll be back... I did roll to "pick up RX" ... so I'm off to do that & to drop off some of the bill payments at the post office. CD

After trade books, I rolled book job, and then cutting up fresh veggies. So I made a salad, which I'm slowly eating now, and I also decided that since I was in the kitchen making a mess I would keep on with food prep. I mixed up a Spanish rice mix that my sister gave me and put it in the microwave, and since I had a couple of extra tomatoes that are going to go bad if I keep them much longer, I chopped them up, added two kinds of canned beans, a bag and a half of frozen veggies and some spices, and threw it all into the crockpot. So I will have several meals ready for the rest of the week. I'll need to add "clean up kitchen" to my list, it looks like a bomb hit. Next roll: 11, book job again. Diane

After my 8 minutes on my book job I did 8 minutes on financials, and then "check greeting card box". Then I rolled "cook rice", which I already did before, so I went to the next entry which was sort bags.
I'm going to stop for a while now and try to clean up the kitchen--I don't want to run out of time tonight and leave it that way until morning. I also want to update my to do list, and start a load of laundry. I'll come back later!

dtesposito -- I just got back from the post office and almost forgot the RX, so had to turn around & go back to get it. Fed the dogs. Several phone calls re: Parents Legal Project. I have to take a break for about an hour. CD

Okay, I feel better now, I did the dishes and cleaned up most of the kitchen mess, and laundry is going now. I also did some of my end of day jobs so I can do a few more rolls before bedtime.
Next: Sweep BR floor

I swept in the BR, then rolled "declutter" so I did that for 8 minutes, and realized that I never did my 8 "extra" minutes today even though I recorded it as done in the challenge thread, so I did that next, in the DR. Then my crockpot meal was done--does it smell good!! So I put that into two containers, one to freeze and one for the fridge. There's one more item on my list that I really wanted to do today, synchronize clocks, so I'm going to do that now. That might be it for tonight, I have a few more end of day things to do and I'd like to get to bed early.
Cando, if you're still working, I hope you get a lot more done!
Diane
