Sunday -- A day for thought --
Cleaned up the kitchen and gathered some trash to take out when I go down for brunch.
Maybe we will get some laundry done today, LOL. I do have a laundry mess going on and I need to put down the bike mat so that is out of the way.
For now clearing email, having some coffee.

Today for me will be get the laundry going but I can't do anything until after Bingo so for now I am clearing email, dealing with piles of stuff on my office bookcase - mostly receipts from dinner.
Also plan to put the bike mat down under the bike and maybe search around a bit for a new office rug.
For now back to email and computer games.

Email done, and I had fun at Bingo - no wins but many close calls, LOL.
I think I have missed my window for wanting to do laundry, so it will be my top chore for tomorrow.
I did balance my check book.

Tuesday's Mission

It's Planning Day - Menu, activities and wardrobe planning, Checking prescriptions to see what needs to be refilled AND 5 minutes and dust the decorative items in your living room. The picture frames, lamps and knick knacks, this is a detailed dusting.
So I am basically doing the home blessing I didn't do yesterday, LOL. I got the kitchen cleaned up, counters and bar top wiped down, coffee brewed and then the coffee pot and filter put into the dishwasher and the dishwasher is running.
I am working on email and I have made my list for the next 3 days ... I have my sneakers laced up and my phone with the laundry app in my pocket. I need to put some moisturizer on and finish dressing so I can run the laundry up. Not sure if I will do one load each day - Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, or maybe two loads today and send out a load to see how the new Fluff and Fold thing works.
Off to moisturize and work on email.

Paid a couple of bills, most of email done and then one load of laundry up and going. Brought the bag back down and loaded up another load. So guess I will do 2 loads today while I watch soaps and do other stuff.

Finally, the laundry is done ... I have one more load but I don't think it is a full load yet so I am calling this chore done. I am pooped, LOL, but the stair exercise is good for me.
Now I need to do my hair and makeup and get ready for dinner but first time to hang up these clothes.

Fun Bingo, I won 3 games - had to share a couple of pots, but it was fun.
Time for bed, my knees are not happy and I haven't even read the paper yet.

Just saw your reply to me now, thanks! I've rarely played Bingo, but I've always enjoyed it, even though I never win. You were clearly born under a lucky star!

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
Today is Anti-procrastination Day -- I think my laundry from yesterday qualifies, it has been a couple of weeks since I wanted to get that done. AND spend 15 minutes getting rid of anything that does not belong in your living room. Things that have gotten thrown in a corner, on a chair, or even the floor.
Got the dishwasher unloaded while the coffee brewed. I had to unload because the coffee pot was in it, LOL.
Then I consolidated laundry and Clorox detergents in my laundry bag. So that could be put away.
Working on Email, TVCH and the new update on Seekers.
Today is deal with Bike Mat and take out some trash/recycling.
Off to email and games.

Email done and I was going to work on my bike station but someone delivered two huge bags of cans - coors light, so I had to deal with them.
Then got ready to go down to dinner. Now working on the minutes.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day (not for me) AND time to do a detailed vacuuming session. This means to vacuum the room, making sure to get up against the baseboards and to get under the furniture.
I started the coffee, then ran my shuttle requests for Monday down to the front desk, cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher and took out some trash and recycling.
Now working on email. It's my stay at home day, having dinner delivered and no Bingo.
Yesterday I won on of the Bingo games, the DogBone! Got $6, so made a buck on the day. Also planned to go to Back Forty this weekend for Steak and a Baked potato with my friend.

Safeway order has arrived and been put away. Only forgot to order kitty litter but I can get that next week we are good for at least a week.
The water is back on, I don't think most people even missed it being off, they scheduled it for 3am to 7am. I was surprised that I wasn't awakened by the work since they were a floor up from my bedroom.
Need to work on my office pile and finish the paper.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Clean the Purse and Car Day AND check your bedroom floor for any paper clutter that you do not need and toss it in the recycle bin or the trash can. Check your floor for things that you do not need, love, or use!
I have Resident Council meeting at 1pm, so will go down early and have some lunch. I have $52 left on my monthly allowance so want to use up as much as possible today. It goes away tomorrow when I get the reset.
We also have Bingo at 2pm, once I come back from that I will need to do a few chores. I have my coffee brewed and the kitchen neatened up, LOL, so I do have a few chores to do.
Off to do my hair and makeup.

Really good meeting today, a bunch of people showed up that don't normally come to the meeting because they had something to say about The Bistro. Our meetings have been about 15 minutes lately, and today it was almost an hour. Lots of comments about service which didn't make sense since you can't served 25 people at the same time within 5 minutes, they were complaining that it took 20 minutes. And then lots of discussion about the food. Some people can't seem to understand the supply chain is a bit disrupted by the Egg Shortage.
Then we played Bingo and I didn't win any but came close a few times.
Now I am clearing email and trying to get a few chores done.

It's Home Blessing Day AND this week we are in the living room, time to grab all the clutter and put it away or out the door.
I have lots to do since I haven't done much all weekend. I am picking up my sleep test stuff at 12:30 today and then I have Bingo at 2pm.
Off to read the paper and have some yogurt.

Cleaned up the kitchen, ran the old kitty food / trash and the newspapers out to their respective bins. Loaded up the dishwasher and got it running, then I did a little organizing of some of my cans (need to finish off the current bag and move them to the balcony). Oh and I was brewing the coffee.
Still need to take out a bit more trash, old kitty litter and some boxes. Also did a Safeway order after I checked to see what products will be impacted by the coming tariffs. I got extra TP since my friend said a lot of paper products come from Canada. Most of the other stuff was food products and I get most of my food thru The Bistro.
Oh I watered most of the indoor plants, have one to go, and after I get my "face on", then I will move stuff around for the bike mat area to be mopped before I put down the rug.
Off to email, then makeup.

It's Planning Day AND time to move to the kitchen and look at the gadgets and small appliances. When was the last time you cleaned out your toaster; opened up the bottom and dumped the crumbs? How dingy or dusty is your coffee maker? Do we even want to talk about the blades on the electric can openers? How about the outside of the microwave?
Time to Wipe them down and make them shine.
I did my sleep study thing, it was a watch to wear connected to a finger monitoring thing to wear on your non dominant hand. I think I got about 8 hours of data and this morning I am off to drop it back at Kaiser. It was an easy thing, interested to see what it says.
Other than that I have more chores to deal with that I didn't get to yesterday. When I got back from picking up my "sleep test equipment" the meeting for activities was going, then it was Bingo - I won 2 games, and finally I was back home around 3.30.
So I didn't really get much done other than the newspaper and my computer games. Today I will be unloading the dishwasher, taking out more recycling and trash, and finally !!! setting up the bike mat.
Time to go

Got thru the paper, unloaded the dishwasher and took out the recycling, some boxes and some trash.
So the kitchen is cleaned up and now I just need to refill the water bottles. Looks like the bike mat will move to tomorrow since I have some office stuff to do and Bingo at 7pm.

Refilled water bottles, consolidated a bunch of cans and bottles into big black hefty bags and finished up putting away dishes and my Safeway order.
Email is done and I am listening to my DayDrinking Podcast.
