Email done! Wow I had a lot. I did my Lazyfit workout and I did have some fries. They were very crispy and nice.

Now I need to think if there is anything else I would use the Air Fryer for, LOL. I do want to try it with real potatoes but I will need to buy some in my next Safeway order.

Suggestions welcome, LOL.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/

It's Errand Day AND time to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.

So yesterday Nala was jumping (trying to) up on the desk, I have a box she can get on then up to the desk. Somehow her paw hit the bowl of kibbles, threw them all over the floor, tipped the box over and never made it up to the desk. I worry about her, LOL. I noticed last night that she "clawed" her way up onto the bed instead of using the two sets of stairs - on either side. She is a funny kitty.

Anyway, I swept up all the kibbles, last night Sylvester ate some because we all know that floor kibbles are best. Got the dishwasher unloaded and dishes put away, brewed the coffee, got the air fryer basket soap filled and now am working on email.

I have a few chores but it is quiet day! off to email.

Oh and I got excused from my jury duty!!! YEAH, so happy about that. I just didn't want to have to go to the courthouse, they should have gotten me when I was younger, LOL.

This morning I also had to work on my alarm clock. The plug by my bed is loose in the wall so sometimes if I move the bed a certain way (getting in or out) it loosens the surge protector and cuts the power. So I noticed my clock said it was 1am when I plugged it back in. That means the batteries aren't working either.

So I took the batteries out, they had gotten crusty! and put the last of my AAA's in. They are on my buy list now. Then I managed to get the time and date reset so that is nice. Now the clock time is only 5 minutes fast instead of 20!

Back to email.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/

It's Clean out your Car and Purse Day AND time to check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink. De-clutter and re-order things that are needed.

I did clean up the kitchen, brew the coffee, load up the dishwasher and run out the trash. Trying to figure out what I want to do for dinner so I can order it when I go down for Bingo.

I do need to grab my chewy box and deal with the cans. I have other things on my list so I can do stuff as I want over the next 2 days, once I finish winning at Bingo, hahahahah.

Off to email.

Hmmmm. I smell smoke, oh and I can see it is hazy outside my windows. And now I hear sirens, must be a brush fire by the canal or something. Nothing on google.

I grabbed the cans from my entrance and took them out to the balcony to see if I could see anything and the smoke smell is coming and going.

But I did find that one of my command hooks has given way and the wreath was on the ground. Put it back into the storage unit, now to decide new command hook or nail in the wall, LOL.

Back to clearing email and then off to Bingo.

Saturday ... Time for fun in the Sun ...

Cleaned up the kitchen while I brewed the coffee and my paper came, it wasn't here when I checked around 7.30!

Sylvester was eating a lot yesterday and first thing this morning he threw up hairballs. Then around 11am he ate some grass then threw it and water up. So I don't know what is going on with him. I will just keep an eye on him to make sure he eats at sometime today.

I cleared my email and now I am taking my coffee and paper back to bed to play some games and read the paper.

Oh and I am enjoying a few Star Wars Movies.

Newspaper done, most of the games are done so I decided I should do a couple of chores before I run out to dinner.

Cleaned up the hair ball then went and got the grass/water, so the floors have been cleaned up. Put the grass back up on the bar, Sylvester grabs at it and then ends up throwing it on the floor.

I will need to clean the office rug soon, LOL.

Sunday ... It's Fathers Day ...

We have a nice "male oriented" brunch today. I will head down around 12issh.

I got up really early and then went back to bed and just woke up at 11!! I am shocked but I must have been tired.

Got the coffee going and fed the kitties, I am amazed they didn't come get me up, LOL.

Off to grab some coffee, clear email and get ready to go out.

I am staying in today and doing some general neatening around the house. I need to unpack a Chewy box, take a bunch of boxes to the bins, wrangle all the cans on the balcony into one or two bags and put away stuff that seems to have been accumulating in the wrong places, LOL.

Got the cans wrangled, and brought in the boxes so I can break them down then haul them out. Working on my Chewy box and the new email.

Also straightened up the blanket I have on the sofa, it has been bothering me and not it looks nice.

All the kitty food has been unpacked and restocked to the cabinets.

The Trash boxes were taken out and put in the bin, there is a bunch of "recycling" stacked around the recycle bins, I suspect it is actually trash, so I just put the rest of my recycle boxes out on my front "porch".

Kitchen is cleaned up, kitty dishes loaded into the dishwasher and coffee set up to brew for tomorrow. Email done.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/

It's Home Blessing Day AND we are now in Zone 3: Your Main Bathroom and Another Room. The mission is to Get rid of those shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, etc., that you have held onto but you don't use them! Set your timer for 15 minutes and grab a trash bag and clean them out.

I was up early and noticed that I was almost out of kitty plates so i cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher and started it going.

I already read the paper, had some yogurt and started working on computer games and brewed the coffee. I did clean out the fridge of old food and now I am working on email.

I may not post much today because my computer is showing TVClubhouse as not secure (it's a certificate thing) and it takes about 8 extra steps to get to where I can actually post, LOL.

Off to work on email.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/

It's Planning Day and time to to shine our tubs or showers! Mine will get done on Saturday by Housekeeping, LOL.

I cleaned up the kitchen a bit because I needed to run the trash out, also took the boxes since I have a Safeway order coming around 10am.

Now it's time for the paper, some yogurt and Perry!

Safeway order came, OMG, they put 2 things in each bag, then tied them, then tied them again with those little green produce bag, then put a thank you sticker on them!!!! It takes 10 minutes just to untie the bag, not really, but it was time consuming. I got most put away, just need to "unwrap" the soda bottles and put them away. I purchased alot because they were only .99 if you got 5.

Anyway, since then I dustbusted the bathroom, got showered/lotioned and dressed. Now I need to get my hair up into curlers so it can dry before dinner at 5pm and Bingo at 7pm.

Oh, I also ordered some new kitty grass. I figured out that my plan which was to take a lyft from the dentist to Pet Express would cost more than the delivery charge, so that is on the way.

Off to work on email and my hair.

LOL, thanks Scooterrific, I am due for a win or two.

Worked on the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher and put the parsley into a glass of water. I am making Potato Salad on Friday to take to the Moose Bingo event.

Also refilled the water bottles and figured out how I am going to keep my potato salad cool. I have a nice glass bowl that I am going to put an ice pack in the bottom and then the plastic bowl of potato salad on that. I have the ice pack in the fridge being formed by a bag of frozen onions to the proper shape, LOL.

Off to play some computer games.

Got in and out of the dentist without having to see the dentist. I told Jessica, the hygenist that I was waiting to see if we had nuclear war before I spent anymore money on my teeth, LOL. She laughed and we scheduled my next appointment for October.

Got thru the paper and I did clean up the kitchen before I left. Now I have coffee brewing and need to see what other chores I have.

I am going to chop up the celery and onions for my potato salad for Bingo tomorrow. Have dinner at 5pm for Juneteenth and now my phone has gone whacko,

I found all the apps on it, which I uninstalled, then my letsfit app was gone so I tried to sign in and pair up my watch but it keeps saying it's not there.

Rebooted the phone and now Letsfit is back but still working on getting it paired up with my watch. So annoying.

I am going to grab my coffee maybe then things will work better, LOL.

OMG, I just realized the reason my phone wouldn't pair is it was the wrong phone!!!! I had my "cell phone - pretend landline" in my pocket instead of my personal cellphone. No wonder everything looked so weird, hahahahaha.

I must need food, LOL, off to dinner.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/

It's Clean Your Purse and Car Day AND time to grab some general purpose cleaner and shine those counter tops and bathroom sinks!

Today I am making potato salad to take to Moose Bingo. I had a minor panic attack last night when I thought I might have gotten rid of my potato peeler, LOL!!! I finally found it.

For now, back to bed for Perry, newspaper and yogurt. AND to see if my games are back to working.

Potato Salad is in the fridge melding all the flavors together. AND I just noticed that I forgot to put in the parsley, LOL.

Cleaned up the kitchen, AGAIN, loaded up the dishwasher and got it running. My plan to put the potato salad in a tupperware container may not work since I had to mix it in my large stew pot, LOL.I may have to package it up into may different containers to take it over to the Moose lodge, LOL.

I also did some other things, cleared email, etc. The games that I have checked are back to normal. I thought it was weird that after midnight last night my puzzle game finally loaded the daily puzzles so I was able to do the 19th and 20th. Just so odd that only one of my games was performing mostly correct.

Saturday ... a day to relax!! ...

I cancelled Housekeeping. I realized last night that I didn't want to have to prepare for it. After all the work/worry I did to make my potato salad I was exhausted. My back was hurting and I just wanted to not have to do anything.

I just finished brewing my coffee, unloading the dishwasher, reloading the dishwasher, washing the pans from yesterday's cooking. Then I had to dump and refill the ice trays. I used all the ice to put in the bowl around the potato salad bowl. So that's done.

Realized I hadn't even taken my morning pills!! Done. So now I am working on email, etc. My paper finally came, it wasn't out there at 7 this morning, and I got my new shoes!!

SO I still have some things to put away from Bingo, need to open my shoes, and think about what to do for dinner.

Off to read the paper, enjoy my coffee and play some computer games.
