163 calories for a cupcake doesn't sound bad, as long as they taste good! I did more dishes, changed the garbage and can recycling bags, and medicated the cats. I don't want to do any more dice rolls because I need to spend the remaining time decluttering--I'll start in the kitchen. Diane

Diane, thanks so much for sending that pm to me & for playing Dice Game tonight. I really didn't want to make the cake or anything on my list. So, I appreciate your motivation. I only have one or two things left... I am going to take a dinner break & my DH just arrived. Don't know if I'll be back to post tonight or not. Good night, Diane. I'll send you a pm & let you know how the cupcakes turn out. I'm letting them cool. CD

Cando, I'm just finishing up my end-of-day jobs so I'll be stopping soon too. I got a ton more done tonight than I would have on my own, so thanks to you too! And do let me know how the cupcakes turned out.
I did a few more dishes--I still have more to do, but since I'm finishing up for tonight I emptied the dishpan and will start fresh tomorrow. I also hung up the rest of the laundry. I did a little decluttering, it looks better in here, and I'm going to finish up getting ready for bed.
I only did 11 of my list of 35 things, but I did a lot of things not on the list, so I'm happy. I'll continue tomorrow.
Diane

dtesposito The cupcakes came out great! I will definitely make them, again. DH liked them, too. Actually they must be under 163 calories because i didin't use all the frosting. But, I'll count it as 163 calories, anyway. I'm glad you got so much done, too. My house looks much better from those few things that I did tonight, too. My Entry Hall & front bathroom are now greatly improved!! I am really much happier, now. Thank you, again. CD

Hello again cando, I just got back from my noon walk--that was a hard one! Two large dogs, one that has some trouble walking, and I had to get those rubbery boots on them (8 boots, plus one of the dogs has a growth on her paw that sticks out!) I have so much trouble putting those on without a second person to help. Then when we got out there the younger dog kept jumping into the snow banks and the older dog wanted no part of that. I'd hate to be the owners and have to do that 3 times a day!
I'm continuing with my last list plus still PEEPing. My first roll is 4, and since I can't remember which number on my list I ended with yesterday, I'm starting at the top of the list again. 4 brings me to Delete emails.

That definitely sounded like a rough time, Diane. Wow! I bet you are exhausted now. Heart Worm preventative was given to dogs. Next, I rolled "10" -- which brought me to #5 Wash Dishes. This one may take a little while as I also have my breakfast ready. CD

Cando, you're just eating breakfast? You must be on a late sleep schedule again. I deleted 90 more easy emails, then rolled Clean computer desk drawer. I'm sometimes surprised how much I can get done in 8 minutes. I have a large stack of index cards in that drawer where I keep track of things that I would otherwise forget. For weeks I've been saying I need to weed out ones I don't need anymore. It didn't even take 8 minutes to go through them and get rid of half of them. I still have to update a few but, why didn't I do this months ago if it was going to take only 6 minutes? Next roll is 8, Start taxes. Diane

Next roll: 3, Pack a book.

I packed the book, it took a long time because I had to make a special label. Then I spent 8 more minutes on my taxes--I think I'm just about ready to start filling out the forms.
I also decluttered a little in various rooms.
Next roll is 6, Delete emails.

Good work on the dishes cando, I still haven't gotten back to the rest of mine. I deleted a bunch more easy emails, and did a few harder ones too. Then I did a cat feeding and had lunch.
Next roll: 7, Organize last books listed.

I realized that I didn't roll the number that would let me finish the invoice for my senior client, and I wanted to give it to her tonight, so I did that--it took me a really long time! It's ready though. I have to stop now and get ready to go in a half hour. I'll come back tonight, I have about half my list finished now. I hope you continue to have a productive day cando!! Diane

Diane -- Sorry keep getting side-tracked today. Not doing as well as I did last night. I'm really having focus issues & am wondering if that may be a sleep related issue. Last night I woke up around 3 or 4 in the morning with a really bad headache. It was gone by 9am, but couldn't sleep for a while. Anyway, I did move load of laundry to dryer & hung the hang-dry things. Put another load in washer. Next roll "7" which brings me to do the hand-wash dishes, pots, etc. CD

Hi Cando & Diane! Hope you don't mind if I join in. This looks like a fun way to get stuff done (and I'm feeling especially unmotivated today!)
First roll: 6 - Gather stuff to donate
