It's Clean your purse and car day AND time to sweep your kitchen floor really well and then mop.
I grabbed the paper, some yogurt and time for Perry.
Then get ready for the day, Oh I should grab the dustbuster so I can do the bathroom floor, LOL.

I dustbusted the bathroom before my shower, then ended up with a little bit of spot mopping outside the shower edge. I noticed that I was having a bit of water buildup due to slow drainage and it seemed some water splashed out.
We are having a lot of plumbing work right now so maybe that was part of it.
But my complaint is how long it takes me to get ready now! When I was working I was up, showered, hair done, makeup done and out the door in at most 30 minutes!!
NOW it takes me an hour and a half. I have to lotion my entire body to keep the "crepe" away and the extra mouthwash stuff to try and prevent any more teeth issues. Then a ton of special moisturizer for my face, neck and décolletage, LOL. Makeup and Hair are still quick but all the rest of that stuff is PIA.
Now I can try to catch up on email, tvch and a few other things before I head down for Bingo.

Fun Bingo but no wins. It is interesting how there are very few people coming down for food service. They are going to need to change the dinner entrees to be available at noon.
Off to finish up my normal morning stuff, computer games, email, etc. Oh and maybe some lunchc.

Saturday ... a day of rest ...
Had a fabulous Mexican dinner last night and did a bunch of chores before I left.
Now today I am kind of achy and sore so taking it easy. I cancelled my housekeeping so I will need to do some dustbusting / sweeping around the house. But mostly everything is clean. I should do a detail dusting since housekeeping doesn't do that.
But I did get the dishwasher loaded and running this morning, need to unload that. Refilled a bunch of water bottles and my Chewy order finally came!!!
I have gathered some trash to take out and had 2 bags of cans at my door so probably need to deal with cans at some point this weekend.
Off to enjoy some coffee, a blueberry muffin and clear email.

Sunday .. a day of reflection ..
Got the coffee brewing, grabbed the paper and clearing email.
Bingo at 2pm and Wine and Bites at 3pm. That will be interesting since we don't have Chef to prepare a little snack and Sodexo won't do it for free. We shall see what that turns out to be.
Off to get some coffee and check todays' menu.

It's HOme Blessing Day AND This week we are in the bathroom and the laundry room. For today your mission is to declutter the empty bottles and used up bars of soap that are taking up space in your tubs and showers.
I got the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded. Then I cleaned up the extra catfood plates and got them soaking. Made some coffee, refilled some water bottles, dealt with the trash and then rinsed the remaining plates and put them in the dishwasher. So the kitchen is clean.
I noticed I have been cranky the last couple of days so I think I will skip Bingo and Dinner and just hibernate at home. Maybe order some Japanese, I will have to think about it. I do have some leftover Mexican.
Off to read the paper and enjoy my coffee.

Had some leftover Mexican for lunch, don't like today's dinner entree so will be skipping that. I have some stuff in the freezer that will work.
Kitchen cleaned up and dustbusted the bathroom and took out the big bag of trash, LOL. Thankfully I heard the garbage men today so I knew there was room.
Skipping Bingo tonight, looking forward to a couple of shows. Working on my attitude today.

Good meetings. I finally found out why this one big parcel of land has been vacant for so long from the mayor. It is considered a redevelopment parcel and the Jerry Brown removed the money for redevelopment so the parcel has been sitting. It is really festive in the holidays as a pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot. I have always been curious about it since it is a big lot in the middle of town.
Town meeting was good too. So next up is dinner at 5pm and then Bingo!

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day AND time to assess your supplies in the bathroom. It is errand day and make a list of the items that you need to stock your bathroom.
I have a mammogram today so heading out at 9.45 and once I am back it should be a quiet day. Not sure what else is on my list for the day.
Off to load up my purse and check email.

Mammo was fast, done in ten minutes then had to wait half an hour for a pick up. So "Personal Transportation" isn't working that great, plus there was just me so I don't get why they brought the van.
Got back and instead of installing the Kiosk we now have robots! I swear you would think they are setting up a restaurant for 20 year olds! These people are old! they don't want a robot, they want a person who will talk to them.
AND we need the kiosk, I suspect when they said we would get a kiosk so we could place orders they may have meant a robot.
Off to catch up on my computer games and have a little lunch.

Got the dishwasher unloaded, coffee brewed, still working on newspaper.
Now time to deal with my receipts so I can get them corrected when I go down for Bingo at 1.15 - Bingo is at 2pm. Also want to prune my Christmas Cactus and clean the bedroom window. Since I like looking out I have noticed how much is it dirty and filled with raindrop prints, kitty nose prints on the inside, LOL.
Also want to work on the "are you prepared" memo I started since the fires in LA started. I have a lot of stuff that has been shared and printed so need to finalize that so I can have it printed and distributed.
Off to clear some email and get these recipts balanced.

Got my receipt corrected and asked a few questions about why the robots are necessary. Played Bingo, didn't win today but I forgot to mention I won $24 at Wednesday night bingo, LOL. Won 3 in a row.
Picked up my food, I got a sandwich and salad, then came home to deal with all my chores.
Back to email.

Saturday . A day to play ...
OMG, I have cans coming out my ears. I opened the door to get the paper and there are 3 bags out there and I have 3 bags hanging off my door rack!
Guess that will be my first chore today. But for now a little email and then yogurt and the paper.

Now that I have cancelled Chinese lunch and changed it to tommorrow. Got thru a few computer games I got my day started.
I started the coffee brewing and cleaned up the kitchen, dumped and washed the kitty dishes and got them into the dishwasher, took out the recycling and then restocked the kitty food cabinet with the previous chewy order.
Grabbed the 3 bags of cans hanging off my door rack and then grabbed the 3 new bags of cans at my doorstep along with the new chewy box!
So I will consolidate the cans, then I want to wash my bedroom window - it's on the balcony and is dirty from the past rains and ruining my view, LOL. I alo pruned my Christmas Cactus, it is all droopy and I wondered if the "volunteer" plant that started growing in it was causing a problem, so that is done.
Also on the list is my preparedness flyer, to research places to move and start that spreadsheet and finally decide if I want to sell some stock. I am annoyed because I realize I missed my window before the presidential change but maybe I can still make some good moves.
Off to finish up email and then do the cans.

Cans are re-bagged! I swear some of them are just nasty, not empty and clean, but I managed to get them sorted and all the nasty bags thrown away. Got them down to 3 bags, 2 full and one to finish filling up.
Got the emergency/preparedness memo going, need to go see what is recommended for the Go Bag, but I have a spreadsheet list of documents that you can so where they are, scanned, cloud, or stored (safety deposit box with copies at home).
Then I went and cleaned the bedroom window, it looks so much better now! Just waiting on my Safeway delivery and then dinner.
Guess I will start making my moving spreadsheet and research what should be in the Go Bag.

Sunday ... a day of rest ...
Got so much done yesterday that my list is quite a bit shorter today and mostly includes research.
So I am going to grab my paper and the yogurt and go back to the bed and watch some TV.
Going out for Chinese later today!

It's Home Blessing Day AND today is the day to attack the clothes pile. Now you all know what I am talking about. This pile is either on a chair, on top of the hamper, dresser or at the foot of your bed.
Had a great Chinese lunch, then got some new kitty grass and got home just in time for Bingo. I won one game but 2 others did too so I only got $3.
Finally ended up just relaxing, playing computer games so I probably should do a few chores today.
I need to get the minutes ready for distribution, do some research and a bit of cleaning here and there.
For now, I have grabbed some yogurt and the paper, back to bed, LOL>

Watching some very interesting shows on the History Channel!
I cleaned the kitchen, got the dishwasher loaded, brewed the coffee, dumped the compost bin and cleaned it, took out the trash and recycled the newspapers.
Now working on email and my "Bistro Spending". I need to figure out how to make sure I spend all my money by the end of the month since there is no carry-over.
Off to email, etc.
