Hello Wynken, I just stopped by to say hello. I was out for the morning and most of the afternoon, and tonight I'm trying to get as much done while keeping one ear on the State of the Union Address currently going on.
Hopefully I'll be playing dice game tomorrow or Thursday afternoon/evening.
Wynken, have a productive rest of the day--hope you get a lot done!
Diane

Hi y'all. I'm back to play, again, today. The goal is 3 hours of playing. Some things on my list may take an hour, though... but as long as I am doing something, right?! Board Game method... and I have my list on paper. Hopefully some newbies will join in the fun! Oldies welcome, too.  1st roll: "6" - Back exercises. Poof! CD  |

Okay, Back exercises done. Also, did a couple "have tos"... called medical insurance company and changed my shirt, brushed teeth & hair, put chapstick on & put tennis shoes on. Took bp med & drank a glass of water, too. Next roll: "3" -- which brings me to: make phone calls re: mini storage. Poof! CD |

Well, that took a lot longer than I had intended! But, I did work solidly the entire time since I last posted. I researched both in phone book & internet for climate controlled mini storage rates in my area. Also, made several phone calls. Also, called the current one that I am in now... to see how much notice they need to vacate, etc. And, also for rate on a smaller one, there. These mini storages just keep increasing the rate so often, and it is just outrageously expensive for a climate controlled one. But, I will only have climate controlled in the future as we learned expensive lesson from one that was not. Anyway, I am going to take a break, but will keep an eye on the time. I haven't had lunch and it is now 5:15pm... so will put together a salad and eat... then I'll be back to do this next roll. Here goes: "6" - got thru last 3 days worth of mail. Be back later. CD |

Finally finished that last roll! Whew! That took another hour! Here's what I did for that roll: Went thru mail from last 3 days & today: 59 papers into Recycle bag 2 into shred bag 3 bills into Office in a Bag 2 papers held out for me to call about tomorrow Coupons put where I keep them. 8 papers "to be filed" -- important tax papers, etc. That's it for me today, but I hope to get an early start here, tomorrow. Also, hope that others will join me. CD  |

Hi Diane!
I'm glad to hear you will join me, later.
I am still working on that last roll. Had to decide whether to just spend 15 minutes cooking (or approximately) or to just go ahead and cook 1 dish. I decided to go ahead and make the entire dish.
So, it's been about an hour and I'm still making "Krautpretzlah" -- it is a noodles & cabbage dish. I knew it would take a while to make, but really..................
Here's what I've done so far:
*chopped up a large onion
*chopped up a large cabbage
*swept up my spills
*rinsed cutting board
*squeezed the water out of the cabbage
*spread the cabbage out on cookie sheets after covering sheets with foil
*salted the cabbage
*sauteed the onions
*squeezed out the cabbage, again
*sauteing the cabbage with the onions

Okay, I'm back from my 2 walks, I have 2 more tonight, at 6:00 and at 7:30. Let's see how much I can get done from now til 6.
I have a Must Do list and then a secondary list, each has about 20 things on it. I'll roll twice from the first list and once from the second and keep alternating. 12 minute timer.
Cando, I never heard of what you're making, is it vegetarian?
Okay, first roll: 12
Write thank you note.
