Fun Bingo Day, I came close (needing one number) many times, and I won the Crazy Kite game, got $6.
Then I picked up my order - I did order a ham/cheese sandwich, and I came home with tuna salad, LOL. Also picked up a chocolate pudding and a potato salad - I like my Safeway Reeser's potato salad better.
Also grabbed my mail, drugs and hairspray were there, so I got those opened and put away.
Finishing up Taran and email, then off to bed to finish the paper, computer games and see what's on TV.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Home Blessing Day AND back to the master bedroom and time to clean out stuff from under the bed.
I cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher, and then I swept the kitchen and hallway.
Cleared email, did my research and ordered another set of kitty stairs.
I think I am really more affected by the weather than I realized, the weather is weird so I don't feel like doing anything, LOL.
Back to email and socials.

https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Planning Day and time to tackle the clothes pile. Put everything on hangers, in the hamper or if you hate the goodwill bag.
I spent considerable time clean in up the kitchen, never really finished it up yesterday. Got the Chewy box unpacked so now breaking it down to start my "take to the trash rollie". I put a chewy box on the bottom then stack stuff up on the box.
It's going to be really hot today, so I am not planning to much physical activities. Will do a Safeway order, work on the newsletter, refill my cold coffee bottles.
So I brewed a big pot of coffee and just made myself a mug of cold coffee. I need to go and close the blinds before the sun gets to hot.
Off to do email/socials and BB.

I already got the kitchen cleaned up, the dishwasher is running, took out a cat food box, 2 bags of recycling and a bag of trash to the bins.
Brewed a bunch of coffee to refill my cold coffee bottle, it may be hot later this week, the forecast keeps changing.

https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's National Vanilla Ice Cream Day AND Errand Day AND time to clear and neaten up the dresser.
Worked a little on the kitchen, grabbed some coffee and the paper. Apparently they have to turn off the water today between 1 and 5pm, I am curious how this will impact the cooking in the kitchen.
Anyway, trying to get water related things done. Off to water the plants.

Outside plants watered, kitty box cleaned and the bag broke, this is why I need the bags from Safeway.
Unloaded the dishwasher, then rinsed the kitty dishes and got them loaded up. Refilled water bottles and made sure the water dispenser was full up. Refilled the plant water bottles, so they are full too.
Definitely ready for the water shut off!

Loaded up the rollie and hauled out the old pizza box, 3 bags of litter, newspapers and a couple of chewy boxes.
I did order some plastic bag with handles from Walmart, this will be my 3 attempt at bags to replace the Safeway and Bistro plastic bags I used for "wet" trash and used litter containment. HOpe they work out.
I know that plastic is bad for the environment but I havent' found anything yet to replace it for the wet trash and used litter. The apartment I was going to move to even had it in the lease that all used litter had to be in plastic bags, LOL. Paper bags just don't work as well.
Off to see if I have new email and what's happening in the socials.

It's Clean your Purse/Car Day AND it's time to remake the bed. Oh, that's on my list for tomorrow, LOL.
Today is Resident Council so I have to do a Safety Meeting Report. So once I do that I will be able to get to my chores for the day.
I did clean up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and got the balcony opened up - I was slow getting to that and the kitties were not very happy with me, LOL.
Off to prepare my Safety Report and clear email/socials.

Saturday ... a day for fun ...
Did my usual routine, clean the kitchen, load the dishwasher and brew the coffee.
Today is put away all the weird stuff not where it belongs and load up the laundry. I have so many paper trash bags I don't know what to do with them, LOL. I save them for my sister and she takes them to her work because her boss doesn't by bags. Plus most of what they sell, medical supply, doesn't require bags but at least they get used.
BUT, I think I have 3 big bags full of small, med and large bags. I am going to try to consolidate them and then stick them up in the closet til I see her next weekend.
Also going for Steak and Vegetable Fajitas tonight, and of course a Margarita!!
Off to clear email/socials and put away stuff

It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the living room, time to clear any hotspots and get things back where they belong.
I went and rode my bike, where I noticed a kitty throw-up on the mat! I had planned to just clean the window sill and AC unit and then water the plant. So I did the sill and then the mat and wiped up the few poo footprints I had on my list.
Now I am working on email/socials plus the kitchen is up next to get cleaned up.

Ok, kitchen thoroughly cleaned up. Water bottles refilled, coffee brewed, all the old food taken out of the fridge and consolidated into the trash.
Then I cleaned the stove with 409, got the knobs and drip trays. Oh and the dishwasher was unloaded and reloaded.

It's Planning Day AND time for a detailed vacuuming of the living room.
My plan was a detail cleaning of the bathroom, I kind of did the kitchen yesterday. First off I wanted to take the shower drain cover off and put some baking soda and vinegar down it.
I started unscrewing the drain cover and it was pretty slow going ... finally got it off and the screw was trapped in old hair, plus there was all kinds of hair/soapy gluey stuff on the place where the screw went. No wonder it was draining so slow! The water had to seap thru blockage. So that took a while to scrap up and then I did do the baking soda/vinegar mix and it did work somewhat but I see I really do need to put a stronger cleaner down the drain.
It took me about 10 minutes to saw, yes saw, the old hair off the screw, so that part is done. Also cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher, brewed the coffee, watered all the plants - we are starting into a hot peroid, and I brewed the coffee.
Oh and I unpacked the kitchen and bathroom fans I purchased and have them charging. They are small fans that I can move around to keep me cool while doing little chores.
Next on my list is the email/socials/BB, then a shower/hair redo and Dinner at 5:30 and Bingo at 6:30.
For now coffee and krispy kremes!!! my reward for that awful bathroom chore.

https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Anti-Procrastination Day and time to look around the living room for any hidden clutter and get rid of it!
I spent the morning in the bathroom! Took the shelf off the top of the toilet and generously sprayed it with 409. I was amazed at the amount of hair gathered under it, my fault, my hair, not kitty hair. Got the toilet outsides cleaned and then scrubbed the base and floors around it.
Got dressed and then grabbed all the stuff piling up at my front door, LOL. I didn't expect my laundry back so quickly, the nice clean comforter and then regular laundry. Plus a delivery of kitty grass.
Now it's time to clean up the kitchen and brew some coffee to see what has happened in BB, email and socials.

Email is done and I built the new cat stair I got for the bedroom. It has a cathole in the bottom step so they can cut thru it or climb it. It's petty cute, LOL.
Got the bathroom shelf back on the top of the toilet and then wiped down/cleaned the stuff that sits in it and also gets sprayed with hairspray.
Time to re-check socials and get ready to go down for dinner and Bingo.

It's Errand Day AND time to check under those sofa/chair cushions.
Earlier this morning I cleaned up the kitchen and then loaded up and ran the dishwasher. Read the paper and played some computer games.
Now I have done a Safeway order, got a discount on my Newspaper delivery and opened up my plastic bags! they are perfect for the kitty litter removal.
I also took out 2 bags of recycling, some boxes and a bag of trash. Still have a couple of boxes sitting in the hall but I couldn't carry everything. I am working on being ready for replacement Housekeeping service tomorrow.
Been working on email while I was on hold for the paper, off to do socials and the rest of email

It's Clean your PUrse/Car Day AND time to put something pretty in the living room.
I have housekeeping today. Got the bathroom counters cleared, moved out the kitty stuff, moved the rollie into the closet, then went to the kitchen.
Kitchen is cleaned up, dishwasher loaded, water bottles refilled and made a cold coffee. Then went to the office - moved the shredding bin onto the cushions, filed away all the piled-up papers, cleaned and filled the litter box.
Now working on email/socials while I listen to Taran. Next I need to get the scratchers off the living room floor and move a couple of things out to the balcony. Then take the boxes to the recycle.
Off to email

Email done, socials done, finished getting the living room ready. I pleged the dining room table, moved all the stuff off and got under the runner. Scratchers are off the floor.
Finished up the kitchen, Sylvester wanted some more food so I moved all his stuff up onto the bar.
Something is going on with the balcony above me, they are on lunch break - I think, lots of banging. I wonder if they found some dryrot or something.
Time to finish the paper and play some games.

OMG, Housekeeping finally got a new vacuum!! It is amazing and does a much better job. I had told the manager, about 2 years ago, that she needed a new vac. That time they just had the old ones cleaned.

Not much on my plan except to take some stuff over to the shredder, have breakfast with my sister and do a few minor chores around the house.
Kitchen is cleaned up, pulled out 4 bags of stuff for my sister, mostly bags and extra catfood.

Had a great breakfast at Diggers! Then we went and got flowers, the one thing I have been trying to get for weeks, LOL. Everytime I order a bouquet from Safeway they are out of stock. I will say, my sister said the selection was terrible and I watched quite a few people leaving the store with flowers.
Then we got home and she gave me a bunch of tomatoes, zucchini and one red bell pepper from her garden. I was thinking I could make gazpacho, but I need a few things first. I will give away most of the stuff to other people here.
I was really tired so I took a long nap and now I need to get some things done, email/socials, catch up on BigBrother.
Oh and I did get the flowers set up, they look really nice. Off to email.
