Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND since it will only be one day till we switch areas time to do a quick declutter of all the rooms with clutter.
I accidentally flooded my bathroom, LOL, didn't realize I had left the showerhead on the extra bracket so it was pointed right at the exposed corner - the shower curtain was no help. Thank goodness I noticed before it was too bad and got it turned to the wall. So I have all the towels soaking things up - it was time for new towels anyway.
Cleaned up the kitchen this morning and got the dishwasher unloaded, so now working on email/socials.
Got an email yesterday that the Moose has Bingo tonight so we are going back to give it a try. The lady who used to run it was the reason we went, she was fun, not sure about it now but we will see.
Off to email.

Oh, I forgot, last night around 11.15pm some fool was burning up thier tires doing donuts in the parking lot, or just trying to make a lot of noise by reving up the car and then I heard a "thump".
I laughed and said, Oh good you damaged your car. Then I heard them have a bit of difficulty to get the car going and they left.
I called down to the front desk and reported it so they could check the security cameras, I am not sure what they hit but some of the staff park back there. Not sure if the hit was a car in the parking lot or on the street.

Saturday ... a day to watch the weather channel ..
Got up early and fed the kitties and then back to bed where I was rudely awakened with a FIRE ALARM at 11am! Only ran for 3 minutes but I swear it is so loud it is making me lose my hearing.
Anyway, got the kitchen cleaned up and the kitty boxes emptied, the coffee brewed. Now I am going back to bed with my yogurt / newspaper / coffee and play games.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Home Blessing Day and we are in the kitchen -- time to clean the small appliances. Dump those crumbs out of the toaster!
Kitchen is cleaned up / dishwasher loaded and I refilled some water bottles. Noticed I was almost out of cold water last night. Not sure what I will do today, I know I want to deal with trash but I haven't heard the garbage trucks yet.
And I am bummed I can't find any Star Wars movies on my TV.
Off to work on email/socials.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Planning Day AND time to clear up all the dirty dishes and then shine the sink.
I already did that, dishwasher got loaded and run, gathered up all the kitchen trash, then did yogurt /Perry / Newspaper and computer games.
Now I have broken down the boxes and got all but one loaded up on the rollie, added the kitty litter bags, then I had to put away all the soda bottles from my safeway order so the rollie will fit down the hallway, LOL.
I just remembered I have a chewy box in the hallway, so that will have to come into the kitchen for the rollie to get out the door! Anyway got the coffee brewing and I am started on my chores.
Off to grab some coffee and clear email/socials.

Trash and boxes have left the buiding! And I had a nice lunch of leftover noodles topped by Chili.
So I was getting ready for my next chore which is to do my laundry - which requires my other phone with the app. It was dead so now it is charging. I hope I get enough charge to go up at 3pm.
Now time to finish the paper.

Wednesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Anti-Procrastination Day and time to get rid of any hotspots in the kitchen. Toss the trash and put away the things that don't belong there.
My phone is charged up and I checked my wallet, but then I remembered I was going out for Chinese Lunch so it has been moved to tomorrow. I can gather the rest of the other laundry and schedule my pickup for Friday.
Chinese Lunch was excellent and I got the dishwasher unloaded and put away. Brewed some coffee and cleaned up the kitty boxes.
Now I need to get email/socials done and catch up on my games and newspaper.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Errand Day AND time to wipe down the big ones, stove, fridge and dishwasher.
I cleaned up the kitchen, did the kitty boxes and thought about doing the laundry. But it seems other things have gotten in the way so I will go up tomorrow. I ordered kitty grass last night so I put it out, did a Safeway order which is coming between 2 and 3pm.
I did some clean up around my nightstand and then I put away the heaters -- temps are rising for awhile, we might even get to 90.
So now I will work on email/socials, etc.

Watered the plants on the balcony then cleaned up the window sill where the succulents used to live, LOL. I gave them all to my sister since I realized I don't like trying to keep them alive. While I was sick they suffered from lack of water and dropped a lot of leaves on the sill.
Also watered the inside plants as well. Updated my wall calendar - realized it was still on May and I balanced my extra bank account.
Back to socials.

It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day and Time to declutter one shelf of your pantry - toss those expired foods, donate things you realize you aren't going to use.
I have ben busy, re-org'd under the bathroom sink, I really needed to know if I had extra Centrum and vitamins before I go spend my OTC money. No Centrum but I did have vitamins. So it is better organized and now I know I need to order some Centrum.
Then I did a little work in the closet, pulled out Sylvesters travel box for tomorrow. He promptly pulled all the stuff out of it onto the floor. Later when I went to stuff everything back in Nala came darting out, LOL.
Next up was the kitchen, the ususal stuff, brewed coffee and while I waited I unpacked the Chewy Box. I got the bag of kibble out, and the Fancy Feast Box, grabbed the Friskies by that hand opening in the top and all the cans came pouring out the back onto the floor.
So I got those picked up and put on the shelf then pulled out the stuff I want to give my sister, grabbed my coffee and came to the office.
I also cleaned out my pile of stuff on the top of the printer. Now I am dealing with that, most is mail but a few things require some attention. At least I got all my voter stuff together in one pile to figure out. That will take a bit of work as well.
Off to clear email/socials.

Saturday ... a day for fun ...
UP early because Sylvester had a Vet Appointment. He has lost weight and his thyroid is big but he is a happy kitty and still hanging in.
Took out the trash and cleaned up the kitchen before we went. I have housekeeping today!
Then went out for breakfast, treated my sister since she drove and gas is so high!!
Now I am tired and want to take a nap, LOL.

Last night I ran the dishwasher so I need to deal with that today. But in the meantime I went out with my friend for lunch.
Time to finish up the paper, play some games and see if there are any good movies on TV.

It's Home Blessing Day AND time to declutter the bathroom and laundry room.
I got the dishwasher unloaded, cleaned up the kitty dishes, and fed the kitties. Got the Balcony opened up and ready for the morning catnaps, LOL.
No paper today, the delivery guy gave us the wrong stuff and the front desk didn't call it in. I will need to talk to them about that. They think the residents will call, but how would we know the wrong delivery occurred.
Taking my yogurt and going back to bed to figure out my day.

Got everything back off the balcony and put in their places. Then I decided I would deal with the sofa. I have a cover for the base but I had to put two old patio cushions in the bottom to raise the seat a bit so it was more comfortable. I had just covered it with a blanket but I have wanted to put the cushions inside the extra cover so it looks planned.
Anyway got the cushions off the sofa into the cover and see the main cushion needs to be cleaned up a bit. So that is what I am working on now.
I cleared email and provided my input on the petition we are working on with regard to the Laundry Room and will work a bit on the socials.

Sofa has been dustbusted, cushions wrapped in the extra cover and put back together. I tried to drape my very soft, yummy throw like the designers but I am not sure it worked. Looks fine to me, LOL.
The sofa has fold down arms so that it will be a bed, so I left one of them down since I noticed the kitties were enjoying laying there and still able to see around the room. The arm was no longer blocking the view.
Then I dustbusted the stuff I had seen on my exercycle bike mat, I think I had shaken a towel the kitties lay on and it dumped litter crumbs there. This led to a wipe down of the mat, it was pretty dusty and I noticed all the parts of the bike I don't use were very dusty - the legs, the pedal engine box, etc. Then I wiped down the fan, the base gets dusty.
Now working on socials and emails since I haven't gotten that done. I did clean up the kitchen, brewed the coffee, refilled water bottles and had my black bean taco salad for lunch. I must remember, the next time I get it, to have them leave off the green bell peppers and taco shells on the bottom.
So now I only have one other place in the living room that I want to clean. I need to pull the armchair out and clean that floor and the window sills behind it. But that's for another day.
Off to email.
