Hi dtesposito . You do not need to change your way of playing. I like to play the way that you, do. Just when I'm by myself or when others are not responding is when I just stick with my original listing post. Anyway, I went ahead and ate which was # 13 on my list. I did do that last laundry roll. I folded/hung a load of laundry, put that load away, and put another load in the washer. My next roll is to spend 15 minutes on the area next to my side of the bed. CD

You do not need to change your way of playing. I like to play the way that you, do.Oh good, because it feels like a lot of extra work to go back and cross things off and edit. I did the surfaces, plus washed some cat food dishes, since I realized I didn't put that on my list. Next roll: 6, pack trading books Diane

I love to see that little garbage smiley working! I packed the books, then rolled another number, which was PEEPing. After I did that my sister called, and so as not to waste time, I deleted about 100 easy emails while talking to her. One of these days I have to work on deleting the difficult emails, which means saving some, archiving some, acting on some, etc. Next roll is: 9, mop kitchen floor Diane

Mopped the kitchen floor, then rolled again which brought me to another 10 minutes on my computer desk drawer. Not only is it now pretty organized, I found more paper to count in the "2015 items" thread.
Next roll: 7, Sweep BR floor

Diane ( dtesposito ) , I, now, have to start prioritizing. I'll try to check in, here, as much as I can, anyway. To start, I need to eat a late lunch. While I'm getting that ready, I will unload the dish washer. CD

You're getting a lot of stuff put away cando!! I had put sweep and mop the bedroom floor as two different steps, but I ended up moving a few small things to do the sweeping, so figured I'd better mop in case I don't roll the mopping number. I really have to tweak my floor cleaning. I was so thrilled to find micro-fiber cloths last year, that I thought the wet mopping could be kept to a minimum--especially since I have badly worn wooden floors that I really shouldn't be wetting very much. However, with the cats I'm finding that wet-mopping is still necessary, and putting a rag on a swiffer handle just isn't doing the job--I need some kind of larger mop, and a bucket with water in it... This is something I'll have to figure out. I'm waiting for the floor to dry and then I'll go back and move the stuff back in. In the meantime, I'll roll again: 11, which is sort plastic bags. Diane

I did the plastic bags. Cando, I think I have to prioritize too, since I have one hour before going out for my last walk. It's funny, I put 4 numbers in a row for some book records I want to update, and I didn't roll any of them. But what I need to do now is adjust the litter and cut some paper towels, so I'll do those next.

Okay, the only other urgent thing on the list I made is vacuuming in the pigeon room, I'll do that now. I will do the book records tonight, and consider it entertainment time, since it's obviously not essential. Diane

Hey, Diane. dtesposito . Sorry, I was gone for so long. I'm sure you are dog walking by now. I did eat a quick lunch. Then, cooked 4 boxes of spinach. Drained the spinach & separated it into 2 casserole dishes. Rinsed, sliced and peeled a bunch of potatoes. Put them in a big casserole dish and added ingredients & mixed all together. I'm making sliced potatoes done in the over & they are garlicky & yummy. I'm taking a break & will brush my teeth & hair, and change my clothes. My DS just arrived in town about noon & is sleeping. His Fiance & her best friend who is visiting this area... will be coming for dinner. DH is cooking hamburgers on the grill. DH just straightened up some more & did some dusting & put a lot of his stuff, away. CD
