It's Home Blessing Day AND time to wipe down the kitchen cabinets!
I have 3 things on my list of things to do .. hang the hallway Christmas decorations, finish the Sodexo food email and write up the minutes from the last meeting.
So far I have hung 2 garlands, LOL, cleaned the kitchen, run the dishwasher, and seen my Sodexo email out for proofing and comments before I send it off.
Now I am trying to get thru email, etc. and I have bingo at 2pm. Plus the Resident Council is sponsoring a table for the Craft and Rummage sale this weekend and for some reason people think they should bring me all the stuff! I thought they would just bring it down to the table on Saturday but nooooo! So now I have a bunch of stuff to store till then.
Back to Email.

Finally thru email and social media. I won one game at Bingo and I got the rest of the Decorations out on the hallway. I have many more but I am not sure I will be putting them up.
Now I am working on the Holiday Tip Fund info. First I have to figure out which employees are what, ie full time/part time, then I figure out their hire date (so the hours worked make sense), then I need to find out how much money we have.
I think we are doing well on the money department, but need to check with the treasurer.
Back to working on the spreadsheet.

http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Planning Day - I do need to figure out what my sister wants to do for Christmas since it is in the middle of the week AND time to de-clutter your silverware drawer, get rid of those leftover plastic spoons, wet wipes, sippy cup lids that don't have bottoms anymore, etc.
Hahahaha, I just bought some more teaspoons, I don't know where they go but I was running out.
I have 3 goals for today - do the minutes (leftover from yesterday), decide how much of the remaining Christmas decorations I want to put out in the house and prepare for the Rummage sale tomorrow - I need to see if I have any other things to add to it and then pull together cash for change.
Finally the usual, clean the kitchen, unload the dishwasher and restock the kitty food cabinets - the chewy box came! YEAH.
For now off to read the paper, have some yogurt and watch Perry!

Three presents wrapped -- they just needed bows since the boxes they came in were brown cardboard.
Minutes are done, I will have them reviewed before I send them out for printing.
Played Bingo and won twice!

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day AND time to shine your sink.
It's my quiet day but I am going to do a load of laundry. I got it sorted and ready to go. I was looking at my Christmas Decoration box and realized I had the New Years stuff out instead of the Christmas, so I switched that, LOL.
We made $11 yesterday on the Rummage sale, gave away a few things, then bagged up the remains to donate to the ARF Thrift store. So now that is in my apartment until the Board member with the car is here tomorrow, LOL.
I managed to get the balcony cleared last night before the rain started so have that stashed behind the sofa.
Today I just want to get the laundry done, finish up the decorating so I can put the box away and wrap some presents.
I even put on my "lace up shoes" like Flylady suggests.
For now I am working on email and enjoying my coffee.

Basically I am don with the decorating. Now it's time for wrapping and digging out all the presents from the closet.

http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's clean your purse and car day AND time to clean off the top of your refrigerator and take a feather duster to the dust bunnies that are growing in the corners of your kitchen ceiling.
I got the final part of the laundry, matching and folding socks, done this morning. Then I dustbusted and spot mopped the bathroom.
Wrangled the cans a bit since I found a big black garbage bag of cans at my door. I did a Safeway order earlier that's coming around 1pm.
Now I need to clean up the kitchen, clean old food out of thee fridge, refill water bottles and take out some trash and recycling.
Plus I have BINGO!!! Should be a great Friday the 13th, one of my favorite days!
For now off to clear some emails.

Never got around to cleaning the kitchen yesterday and it was a mess this morning.
Cleaned all the kitty food plates, got them rinsed and loaded into the dishwasher. Dishwasher is running now. Refilled some water bottles and got the coffee brewed.
Working on email and marveling at the crazy weather outside my windows.

Took out the newspapers and 2 bags of trash, picked up a check for the holiday tip. Now working on the calculations for the bonus's to get a first start on it.
Just realized we have one person on our list that may not work here any longer so I need to figure out if they are on leave and then still qualify for the tip.
Time for a snack!

Sunday .. Just relaxing ...
Played Bingo and won 2 games for $14! Then a mass of cheerleaders came in for cheers and crafts! I got out of there, LOL.
I need to get the rest of the Christmas presents down so I can wrap them. Finish reading the paper and once I get the tip number figure out the formula so we can get the cards and cash together.
Off to finish the paper and play some games.

Fun Bingo didn't win any but came close a ton of times. Did find out about the how hours work here, I have been wondering if they have 40 hour full time employees, the hours on my spreadsheet don't really work for that way.
So now I am going to compare last years hours/tip to what I have for this year.

It's Planning Day AND this week we are focusing on the main bathroom and one extra room. It is time to clear off the flat surfaces in the bathroom. This means the edge of the tub, the counter tops and the back of the toilets.
Just getting started, ahhh, I see the sun has finally come out. I got thru my games and the newspaper, now working on email.
I also did a bit of a change on the tips, I reduced 3 and increased a few others. Then I sent it out to everyone because I sent the wrong document the first time.
Updated my spreadsheets, realized I haven't been staying on top of that, also pulled the Christmas gifts out of the closet to get them wrapped.
Finally when I fed the kitties this morning I put the chair cushion and towels back on the balcony. We are supposed to hav sun for the next few days. It was nice sitting out there for a bit.
Off to finish email, clean up the kitchen and have some lunch.

Lunch was yummy, just some left over brunch items. Then I got the kitchen cleaned up, set up the compost bin and dealt with the old kitty food.
Wrapped all the Christmas presents and pulled out a roll of wrapping paper to give my Bingo friend. We finalized the holiday tips and now I am working on the cards to put the cash in.
I listened to my DayDrinking podcast and finally go the staples box, paper, unpacked so now I can get rid of the boxes. Oh and I restocked my pills which made me realize I need to get the mail because I am out of one of them and it is in the mailbox.
Will get the mail when I go down to play Bingo at 7pm.

It's Anti-procrastination day AND time to de-germ, take 15 minutes to wipe down your door knobs, light switches and phones in your home.
I did a Chewy order and a Walmart order - I was out of vitamins!
Cleaned the bathroom wall - someone had thrown some litter up on the wall and then cleaned the kitty litter box walls. Still need to dustbust the floor and mats.
Was looking forward to the Town Hall meeting today but it got moved to the 30th. Very disappointing and I know a lot of people were really interested.
So now working on email and tvch.

Wrangled the cans! I am continually amazed at how wet they are! I don't know why it seems to be hard to rinse and dry them!
Still working thru email, found out Town Hall was cancelled due to illness, don't know why they didn't just say so!

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
Thursday is our day to run errand so we don't have to on the weekend! AND back into the office, computer area or desk area! Take 5 minutes to empty your trash can and take a feather duster or dust rag to the room.
I won one game at Bingo - $6 last night and when I weent to put my bag down I noticed it seemed to be wet. Previously the "can bag" had been sitting there and I moved it, so I checked and it was leaking in the new location too! I grabbed a rag and quickly spot mopped both areas and threw the bag out on the balcony. My black trash bags don't leak but I guess some do! So annoying.
This morning I did a little rearrangement on the balcony, got the can bag behind the chair. Guess we should take them in on the 28th. I also stuck the ARF donation out there because housekeeping will be here on Saturday.
Today is quiet day ... I don't have to go anywhere! not even down to dinner.
Not sure what I will do today but it's time for the newspaper and yogurt. First a quick check of email.
