Ok, so I went to move money, got that done and I was working on the rest of my financial issues for the first of the month. I knew my SS deposit would be changing so I found the email they sent me and then went to my own link (I never use the ones in the email) to sign in and they said they didn't show my email address.
Now how did you send me an email if you don't recognize my email address!! Anyway I went ahead and created a new account, I haven't been in there in a while and I noticed that what I had as my user name was not a requested field, so they must have changed the user names to be email addresses. Finally got my new numbers so I could finish up my financial plans.
Went to watch Y&R and its a football game, so guess now I will see if the Christmas movies are still on, I hope not, LOL, and play some computer games.
Oh, I need to finish email

Taking the paper to brunch but I did get play some computer games. It totally throws me off having the Holidays in the middle of the week, I keep forgetting it's not Sunday, LOL. Off to NY Brunch soon.
I did get the coffee made, have been working on email. Got my PG&E bill - $168 which seems about right with the amount of time I have been running the heat!
Have a list of things I need to do today and Bingo at 7pm.

Brunch was lovely -- eggs benedict and champagne. Said goodbye to the Chef. Even though the new group doesn't really take over til Monday he is out of here and seems to be very happy about it, LOL.
Got the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, then took out trash and recycling to the bins. I had a hook in my office that held my little plastic trash bag up off the floor and it somehow disappeared.
I remember when the bag hit the floor and I just thought it was heavy and full so didn't think anything of it. Then when I went to rehang a new bag I found the hook was gone! It was a command hook and I have had some of them fall off the wall.
So I found a coffee cup hook and screwed it into the leg of the bar stool so now the bag has a better hook, LOL.
Did a Safeway order for tomorrow and I also wrangled all the bags of cans I had gathered. Took out the empty soda bottles to their bag on the balcony.
So lots of chores down, time for lazyfit

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day AND time to check and see if you have any leftover Holiday Decorations still on your door and front porch. If so, take 15 minutes and work on getting them taken down and put away.
I just need to change out a couple of things for my decorations to be ready for New Years so I guess I will work on that at some point today.
Still haven't had Christmas with my sister yet since she has been recovering from her surgery. Hope to do so next weekend or the next.
I have on big project on my list for today but for now, it's time for yogurt, the newspaper and Perry.

So it has begun, LOL... I moved the bar stools, litter box and all the other stuff out of the office. Wow it is amazing how dirty the baseboard is!
Got my coffee and grabbed some 409 and a rag and got that cleaned. Taking a break to clear some email and let it dry before the next step. Oh and the old litter rug is in a bag ready to go to the trash.

The rug I brought to use as the chair rug didn't work, so I just put it under the litter box. It is larger than I had before but works well. I put the old chair rug back in place and then wiped down the bar stools and got them back in place.
Finally I cleaned the litter box and put it and the extra litter back in place. With all these changes I had moved my desk forward a few inches and I really like it. I can access the printer more easily and I have more room behind me.
Vacuum, Mop and cleaning products put away. In the middle of reassembling my Lazyfit started, LOL.
I had been trying to get it to download todays exercises and it was having a problem but got caught up so I did those exercises.
Also received my Safeway order so got that all put away before I started this project
Whew .. I think I am done with chores for the day!

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's clean your Car and Purse day PLUS let's sparkle up the Dining Room Table and Chairs. If you don't have a Dining Room set, no problem, do this mission on the kitchen table. Set your timer for 15 minutes. Wipe down the tops, the edges, and the legs on your Dining Room Table. Give the chairs a wipe too.
Only thing on the agenda today is Bingo at 2 pm, maybe Mexican food tonight at Maguey's. So I need to clean up the kitchen, get my hair up in curlers, I did already dustbust the bathroom floor.
Time to go grab some coffee and clear my email.

No wins at Bingo and Mexican food moved to next Friday!
So I cleaned up the kitchen, then took out the old litter rug and newspapers to the bins.
Email is cleared and I didn't get a paper, so need to go and print off the crossword and TV guide.

Saturday ... a day to play ...
Got the kitchen cleaned up and have started to gather the stuff for my sister to take home ... kitty food and treats my cat has decided he doesn't like, extra plastic bags to use for trash, etc.
She is finally feeling good enough from her surgery to come over and have Christmas. We are going out for steak! and then home for presents. I am also sending her out with the bag for Goodwill/ARF.
Can't wait to see what Santa dropped off for me at her house, hahahahaha.

Fabulous Cowboy steak with steak fries and Caesar salad! Then we got the kitty grass and Krispy Kremes!
I got 2 new cushions for my chair, I really needed them. And one of those circulate your feet while sitting at your desk.
With my new cushion I am not sure I can move my feet, but if I turn sideways and play on my tablet it will probably work. We shall see.
And my favorite is a new coffee foamer with a stand!! It is so cute and will look great in with my coffee area.
Now that my sister has gone, the kitties have come out to see what changed, eat some food and some grass and enjoy the sunshine.
I am ready for a nap, LOL.

Sunday ... a day for thoughtfulness ...
Intersting brunch today .. It was the last day for Carlton service and it was the first brunch without Chef. First problem, they put out a menu that wasn't clear, couldn't tell what was being offered since they forgot the "OR" that is normally there so people were confused.
Second, because of the confusion there was more than normal amount of people down at 11, and it cleared out as usual for the noon people. But some people had to wait for a table if they wanted a 4-seater.
Third, there was a mandatory meeting of the Sodexo "staff" at 2pm. I have to say it was really hard to play Bingo and eavesdrop on the meeting.
Otherwise it's been a fun day. They put out the new menu and it looks exactly like the one they handed out 2 weeks ago. A few things are confusing, like they didn't specify when the dinner entrees are available. I know it is 4pm, but the menu doesn't say so, plus you can't substitute anything, like if I want extra on one of the vegetables instead the 2 options. They say that is coming but I think we are 2 weeks out because they don't have their ordering system up yet and it's not going to be here until they 17th.
Can't wait to see how it goes tomorrow. I think they are going to be surprised when half the people show up at 4pm tomorrow wanting to order their dinner.

Completed a KrispyKreme survey so I can get a free dozen donuts, LOL. Now working on email, tvch, etc.
Bingo is at 2pm, we shall see how that goes since Sodexo says we can't use our normal table.

Bingo was fun, won once; and it was interesting watching all the people gather in the living room for dinner. Some asked if they could order their dinner, the Bistro is open 7 to 7, but were told they would have to come back in 25 minutes.
So Dinner entrees aren't available until 4pm. One thing Sodexo keeps selling is that people will be able to eat when they want ... not true if you want the dinner entree - which is what everyone here is used to getting.
And then I found out that if you aren't on Premium Plan, meaning the meal is only $13 (soup or salad, entree w/2 sides, dinner roll and beverage -- NO dessert thats extra cost), you can get the meal but it will cost $18!!
That better be a damn good meal since I can get a meal delivered for that price that will feed me for at least 2 meals. I knew this change was going to be a problem, residents only get $400 per month, then have to pay for anything more than that.
Unfortunately we have people here that don't really understand budgeting, some can hardly use their phones!
It should be fun, LOL. I am having left over Cowboy steak and fries from Back Forty.

Getting started, cleaned up the kitty plates, took out 2 bags of kitty poop and a slide box, lol. Came back and emailed the front desk that the trash bin is full, the trash chute is full and garbage is piling up on the floor of the trash room.
Got the coffee brewing and gave Sylvester his pill.
Today I will be working on the newsletter, sorting my laundry for tomorrow, possibly buying some new sheets and a few other things, and putting together my suggestions for The Bistro Menu.
Oh and maybe selling some stock, need to check that out too. Off to grab my coffee and work on email.

Newsletter is done and sent out for printing, checked on the items to purchase and didn't get any - didn't like the comments. I did get the suggestions done and printed so I can give it to them when I go down for Bingo at 7pm.
Finished up email and the other stuff. I do need to see what's up with stock and whether I want to sell some things.
Listening to DayDrinking podcast and playing games now.
