I have to admit, there are times when I leave dishes in the sink. But, I totally agree with Diane. When I actually make myself do it, it normally only takes 10-15 minutes and then I feel sooooooooo much better! (Still, there are times when I leave them anyway.) I know I shouldn't!
 
I always wash my dishes on the Host's host while they are visiting so I do not have to do it when I get home.
I really hate that you guys are not playing online so late or as much due to your new goals. It is lonely out here playing by myself.
