Fun at Bingo - won once and put in my order for dinner and one other thing. I had some soup while I waited for Bingo and treated my Bingo friend to some soup too, so I left $3 on the table.
Now I can stay in and enjoy the rain. My sister canceled for tomorrow so I will need to move the cans around in the living room since they will be living here for a week. Hopefully we can take them next weekend after Sylvester's Vet appointment.
Time to catch up on all the shows I missed, Doc, Scamanda, Perfect Wife and rewatch Watson since I missed half of it the first time around.

Saturday -- A Rainy day to read in Bed ...
Not much on my list but to change out my bed. My new topper and "bedspread" came so I can rotate, Febreze, use the topper, fresh sheets and the blanket bedspread, then see how I like it.
For now yogurt and the paper.

Oh and my Cubi came so I want to try that out, and I need to move the cans around so my living room is more usable since they will be here until next weekend.

Sunday ... A day for reflection ...
Have $5 Bingo today and going for Chinese food too!
I opened up my new bed topper, it finally occurred to me that it might need to breathe before I can use it. And I was right it was amazing the amount of air that escaped when I cut the plastic.
Got the coffee brewing, cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher and took out a bag of trash.
Off to brunch soon with the paper.

Put for now I need to go have some yogurt and read the paper, start stripping the bed.

OMG, bed is stripped, back is protesting, grabbed some coffee and working on email until back calms down.
Clearly my upstairs neighbor is getting a bunch more furniture, lots of banging and noise, it seems to be bothering Sylvester he is running back and forth - he may just be playing, LOL. Hope he finds a place that feels safe soon. Worked a little on the cans, have 2 small bags to put out on the balcony and then all the cans will be dealt with. I do still need to move a couple of bags behind the sofa.
Off to email.

Fun Bingo but my friend and I had 3 "blind and deaf" people at our table! It is hard enough to keep up with the one friend who sits with us but trying to make sure the other 2 knew what was going on was challenging. I don't know why the one gal keeps inviting people when she can't hardly keep up, amazing.
So I picked up my dinner to go and found out the veggie Flatizia is fabulous, so I will try ordering it soon.
Got the mattress rotated, new mattress topper on, oh I fabrezed the mattress, taking a break before I finish up with the fresh sheets. In the meantime I took the final 2 bags of cans out and combined them with the "bad" bag outside. For some reason they now make big black plastic garbage bags that LEAK ... so I had to throw that one out on the balcony since it was leaking soda onto my floors.
Slowly getting my house in order so I don't feel like I am living in a mess!

It's Planning Day AND it's time to clean the silverware drawer.
My plan was to take it easy all day since my back was killing me most of yesterday BUT it feels fine today! I don't know if it is because of my new mattress topper but I am surprised.
My only plan was dinner at 5:30 and then bingo at 7pm. I will have to ponder what to do today while I read the paper, have some yogurt and catch up with Perry.

Started the coffee, rode my bike for 10 minutes - skipped it yesterday since rotating the mattress and redoing the bed nearly killed me, LOL.
When I finished unloaded thee dishwasher and moved some can bags around so that I have a working living room.
Guess my chores for today are mostly computer related, I have several things to do for RC, need to work on a chewy order, refill the water bottles and see if I want to buy/sell any stock.

Chewy order complete, rode my bike, cleaned up the kitchen. Updated the Move In list to show the Bistro and other changes; then got the Newsletter ready to go and sent off.
I have a Haircut appointment at 4:15pm, then dinner at 5:30, then Bingo at 7pm.
Guess the last thing on my list of stuff to get done is the minutes for the last meeting.

It's errand Day AND time to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.
Running a bit behind today and my e key is having problems, LOL, so I air sprayed it and it seems to be back.

Bingo was especially fun today, I won the first game and then won 2 more later in the hour, ended up with about $11 and I was almost out of dimes so it was fortuitous.
And with all the things I have going for tomorrow I re-scheduled my Housekeeping to Tuesday, so relieved!
Off to clear email and a few other things before I head out for Drag Queen Bingo.

Saturday ... A day for Errands and Fun ...

Once that is done we are taking the cans to recycling and then having some breakfast.

Vet was excellent, Sylvester gained 2 pounds and is back to 10 pound weight! So happy.
Got him back home and gathered all the bags of cans and took them to recycle ... we made $73.61! We waited way to long to take them in but that's just because my sister had surgery at Christmas, so we went longer than normal.
Had a great breakfast and then went and got some cash and new kitty grass.
So all the chores for the day are done. I am sleepy from getting up at 7am for the events of the day. I want a nap and to read the paper and play some computer games.

It's Home Blessing Day and this week we are in Zone 3 - Main Bathroom and another room AND its time to declutter the empty bottles and used up bars of soap that are taking up space in your tubs and showers and do the same thing in your laundry rooms.
I dustbusted the bathroom until the dustbuster died, I hadn't charged it in a while, then I started the coffee and dumped the old cat food, then took that and the litter out to the trash. Also took the newspapers to the bin.
Then got the dishwasher unloaded and cleaned the kitty dishes and reloaded the dishwasher. I have made my order for Thursdays dinner and arranged for a delivery.
I have Bingo at 2pm where I will also order my dinner and then I am going back to bed.
I woke up with a really scratchy throat, thought I was feeling a little yucky and so figured I would do my chores, play Bingo and get some dinner and then have a "Pretend Sick Day" and crawl back in bed.
Off to clear some email.

It's Planning day AND time to toss old towels and linens that just plain worn out. Toss them out of your bathroom linen closets. You can donate these items to animal shelters and kennels.
LOL it just so happens QVC has a special on towels - a set of 12 for $50 and they look great.
It's housekeeping day for me. I have the kitchen and bathroom ready to go, and I moved the rollies out to the balcony. So part of the living room/office is ready to go.
When she gets here I will deal with the rest of the things that need to be picked up off the floor.
Had fun at bingo - didn't win today, grabbed my to go order and then I did have a "pretend sick day". I feel great today. Off to email, then some yogurt and the paper.

Yeah!! Housekeeping has come and gone and did a great job even though she was recovering from the flu. I felt bad for her but she was wearing a mask because she has to save her sick time for her kids.
Got the bathroom back together, God forbid the kitties use the other litter box, only the bathroom one will do, LOL. Bedroom is back together and I got the heaters back on. I was freezing, the one plug available for the vac is one I use for my office heater and I had to take all the bedroom ones off the floor so they can't run.
I am thinking about going down to dinner early since I haven't had any lunch. But for now just getting warmed up.
