Well, here's what I did: Decluttered some stuff from Dining Room Table. Kept most everything... stuff was just not supposed to be sitting on the Dining Room Table. So put things where they go. I did: Toss partial bag of brown sugar & partial bag of rice cakes that were crumbling. Also sent a text to DD to see if she wanted me to send the spices, drink mixes & tuna pouches to her. She left these here when she moved to NY. Next thing I rolled is to make Donations. I think that I'll have to go ahead and do something else on my list, first. I will go ahead and cook the chicken for the dogs & freeze part of the package of chicken breasts. Poof! CD

Cando, my DR table is also the repository for everything that I bring into the house! I'm constantly decluttering it. For the decluttering roll I just went around and put away some things in various rooms. Then I rolled "cut cat's nails", which doesn't take long, especially when they're good kitties like they were tonight. So, I scooped litter pans and adjusted the litter, checked locks and gave everyone fresh water. Next roll: 8, Delete emails Diane

Yes, I agree... that dining room table takes a lot of resistance to keep from positing stuff upon it. So, I just cooked the chicken but really hate to get started on the donation paperwork that I had rolled to do... as I'm waiting for the chicken to finish cooking and then I'll feed my dogs. Went ahead & rolled, again, and my next roll is to clean the crockpot. DH made soup yesterday. I can get started on that while I check to see if the chicken is done & then feed the dogs. CD

I rolled "delete emails" and got rid of 60 of them, then I went back and rolled the other "delete emails"! So I did 80 more. I'm back down to under 300 emails in my inbox now, I had been up to 1,000 recently.
Next roll: 8 again, clothing related

I put all the dry laundry in the DR away, put a couple of summer things away in the dresser, and put some dirty things in the washer so I can do a load of laundry tomorrow. Then I rolled "start senior client invoice", which didn't take the whole 8 minutes, so I put some more things away in the kitchen and washed the stove top.
Next roll: 2, the last "declutter" roll

It is amazing to me how much you get done in 8 minutes, Diane! It took me a lot longer to finish cooking the chicken, feed the dogs, get the crockpot soaking & clean the lid to the crockpot. I did have to go outside with the dogs & my Mom called while I was feeding them to tell me that the Medicare and prescription laws have changed again and she has to figure out what is going on, again. It is so hard for the elderly to figure out this stuff. I hardly understand it all.... Diane, we had a good run here in Dice Game. That is all the time that I have for now. I hope to do this, again, soon. Thanks for being here with me! CD

Cando, I know you're helping your parents with so many things, so you'll be the one who ends up having to figure out the new Medicare policies! I'm glad you were playing tonight, I know that without a challenge I would not have done anything this evening. Now I can start tomorrow out with a moderately uncluttered apartment.
On that decluttering roll I got the cat food dishes in the hallway scraped off and soaking, I swept the hallway, and put yet a few more random things away. I want to get to bed in a half hour, so have a few more end of day things to do--but want to do one last thing from my dice list, take care of the mail that came in, so I'll do that as my last item tonight.
Cando, I hope you have a good rest of the night!
Diane

Hi Diane. Yep, still last years. Due date is next week... I made several donations. Next roll is "9" which brought me to "declutter dining room table". I may have to do some "have tos", if I don't roll them next. CD

My first roll was declutter so I worked on the DR. My second roll was measuring for a blanket I wanted to buy, and I couldn't remember the sizes offered from the website so I looked it up. Since I was already on the website I did the second step also, which was ordering the blanket.
Next roll: 9, paper pile on computer desk

I had two rolls for the computer desk paper pile on my list and I was making progress, so I continued working.
Next roll: 9, work on my own books
