Next to the bread container I saw the leftover beans & rice, which reminded me that I should eat that for dinner, so I started steaming a bag of frozen veggies to eat with it later.Next roll: 10, Books in Spare RoomDiane

Then if you used the 2 dice with a list of 11, the probability that you would roll a 6, or 7, was greater than that of rolling a 2 or 12, and I would get all flustered trying to make a list that "worked", sometimes never getting started. Then Wynken came up with the board game method, and my problem was solved. Now she is using the random number generator, which looks like it could come in handy if you develop some type of master list, and you wanted to just work on a section of the list.

I'll bet you can think of something to do in each room! Hi Ally, the problem I had with the dice game was I was thinking of it only for specific tasks, but didn't think I could do it when I had Must Do items, in case I didn't roll them. But by keeping the categories loose, I usually end up covering most of what I absolutely have to do anyway. One of these times I'm going to just list rooms and try that.Okay, I worked on books, next roll: 3, more books!Diane
