It's Clean out your Purse and Car Day AND time to mop the bathroom floor.
My cookies were excellent, LOL and I was able to get all caught up on stuff. Today I got the kitchen cleaned up, the coffee brewed and the dishwasher running.
Since I am going out to Mexican Dinner tonight I hit the showers and got my hair up in curlers. Trying out my new Elemis Face Cream.
My RCA Tablet is fully charged so I put my Lazyfit app on it, but couldn't figure out how to get the old app / history because I never set up an account, somehow I just paid for it. Now I have to call/email to get the other account cancelled since I now have two accounts. I got the Domaton tablet charged enough to get the account number so that's on my list to handle.
Now I am working on email, listening to Taran and doing some RC stuff.

Saturday ... a day of play and goofing off ...
Did a Pet Food Express order to get some new kitty grass, then did a Safeway order to get People food, LOL.
Unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen and ran the trash out. Now working on email, listening to Taran, and checking out social media.
Not much on the plans for today, had a fabulous Mexican food dinner last night at Maguey's in Alamo. It's a small family owned restaurant that we love and I haven't been in ages.
Oh, I grabbed the Ballot box when I took out the trash so it's time to tally the votes for next week.
Off to email.

Sunday ... A day of peace and rest ....
So did the usual, cleaned up the kitchen, made some coffee and worked on email.
Getting ready to go down to brunch then I guess I will tally the ballots and start working on my sister's Housewarming gift. I am cleaning out stuff that I got for here but never used. I have a couple of lazy susans for under the sink and some surge protectors that I didn't use. I think she can probably use the stuff or give it to goodwill if she doesn't find a use for it. Anyway I am going to put it in a basket that she might also be able to use.
For now, another look at email, social media, etc., while I enjoy my coffee.
Oh and I watched Project Runway, totally forgot it was on.

Watered the inside plants, started the coffee, cleaned out the kitty grass I grew, it was grim, and replanted some new seeds. Then I cleaned up the mess and loaded up the dishwasher.
Also pruned some of the inside plants and put out the "Autumn Leaves" Table runner on the dining room table.
Now working on Email, already listened to Taran - it was 15 minutes, LOL. Off to social media to see if Keanu has been evicted.

It's Planning Day and time to attack the clothes pile either on a chair, on top of the hamper, dresser or at the foot of your bed. I did this yesterday, I have some clothes to take to the Free Table and some for Goodwill.
I got up earlier and watered the outside plants, then got new kitty water. Brewed the coffee while I cleaned up the kitchen and now working on email.
I am going out for Chinese Lunch today, and to get a Birthday present that has been traveling around with us because it is apparently heavy and I needed it to be daylight so I could get a cart to take it to my apartment.
I have been tallying up the votes and I sent off another email regarding the Resident Council.
Off to get Taran and finish up email.

Wonderful Chinese food, then I picked up a chef's Salad and Egg Salad Sandwich when I got back. Got my new fob so I can order at the Kiosk, which does me no good since I would sit down at a table instead of ordering from the kiosk, LOL. I want the website but apparently the guy working on it got Covid.
Picked up my mail and the minutes were crammed in there since the 18th, I have been wondering where the heck they were!
So I am in for the day, need to finish up the newspaper and I am way behind on my computer games.
Oh, I did my Lazyfit app, LOL, I had to start over at the beginning and it was only 5 minutes!

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to straighten up the floor of your closet! So funny I did this the other day, LOL.
I started the dishwasher this morning when I fed the kitties. Then grabbed the paper and some yogurt and crawled back in bed to watch Perry.
Wasn't planning to get up and start stuff but all of a sudden there were ladders coming up the side of the wall. The window washers were here!!!
Of course there was no notification that this was going to happen, just surprise, there they are outside your windows. Hope we don't have any residents who run around Naked in their homes!
So I have unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen, taken out the trash and recycling, tallied up the votes for the new board.
I also put together the packets for distribution of the minutes and let the people know about it.
Now I am working on email, Taran and social media.

It's Errand Day AND time to clean off the nightstands!
I cleaned up the kitchen a bit while I brewed the coffee but mostly I am getting ready to go to the doctor for my annual physical.
Taking the paper and my book to Kaiser since I have an 11:30 appointment but I have to board the shuttle at 10:30. It always amazes me, it's only 15 minutes away. We shall see if there are others who have to be dropped off.
Off to review email.

Apparently the call I got yesterday was cancelling my doctors appointment. At the time there was no voicemail, I did check, when I looked today, there is it was. So annoying, guess I will always check the morning of from now on.
Anyway I was all dressed up with nowhere to go, LOL. So when I got back the Sodexo big boss was here so I asked about the website, complained about the chairs and the Bar Table that they use for decoration instead of having some bar stools for us to use.
So off to catch up with the rest of my day, listen to Taran, play some games and clear email.

Sunday ... a day for rest and reflection ...
I guess I will leave my house today, LOL, just to pick up / have brunch.
Yesterday I did clean out the top of my closet shelf because I needed to find a small tablet I got some time ago. It turned out the screen was too small to do my regular stuff but I think it will work great for my Lazyfit app. So I had to find, it charge it, etc.
As I was doing that I found some boxes from old tablets that can be trashed and some other things to get rid of.
For now, trying a Brunch order and clearing email.

It's HOme Blessing Day AND we are in the Living Room and Family Room for a few days, time to go sofa and chair diving, clean out the mess that falls down between the cushions.
I have a pretty good list, cleaned up the kitchen and unloaded the dishwasher. I have a bunch of trash to take out and I need to deal with boxes. I have a bunch from cleaning out the top of the closet.
I did figure out my monthly bills and I think I am good till the end of the year. I was thinking I might need to transfer more money but I think my stock sale covered it. Of course, that changes if I decide to move in December, waiting to see what the rental increase, if any is.
I am going to put an article in the Newsletter about how rents are changing in our area, LOL. Also got my little tablet set up for Lazyfit!
Need to do that and then get busy on other stuff. Don't quite know what to do without Taran in the Morning, LOL. So I am listening to exit interviews.
Off to clear email and do my Lazyfit exercise.

Well, my little tablet needed to be charged up. I don't understand why the power drains when I am not using it and it is off. Anyway, I have it charging up as we speak, so will start up tommorrow on that task.
I did get all the chewy boxes and cat food boxes emptied and broken down, then stacked them and all the other boxes - old tablet boxes, cat food boxes, anything else I had that was box like off to the recycle bins.
Sent a followup email off about the RC and started my spreadsheet of issues I have raised that have not been resolved for the new President.
Got my Safeway order put away and now I am pooped and ready to relax in my bed and play computer games!

It's Planning Day and time to vacuum and really concentrate on the two inches at the walls and baseboards that seems to get missed.
I have window washers and fire alarm inspection today. Since I have Pigeon Netting on my Balcony they have to come thru the house to do the balcony door and windows. Window washer done and gone.
So I grabbed some yogurt and the paper and time to catch up with Perry.

So I went to brew my coffee and I was out of filters!!! ACCCCKKKK. So I used a paper towel, it's ok but I think that I may have some dissolved paper towel in my coffee, LOL.
Then I immediately went and put together a Safeway order so they are on the way this afternoon.
The Firemen came and checked my sprinklers and then set off the alarm for the third time this morning and peaked in to see if the Red Fire Alarm on the wall was going off.
I told him I don't know why I am so special to always get picked for this inspection, LOL. But thank goodness that is over. It did make me wonder if there might be something in the fire code that requires "Senior Housing" to have multiple inspections.
That might help with our arguements with Carlton about whether all the "Senior Laws" apply to us, they keep saying since we are Independent that they don't which isn't true. My lawyer says that the laws just haven't been amended, and probably wont be, to include all the different names for Senior housing, since they were originally written to counter Senior abuse in nursing homes.
Anyway I forwarded that thought to the new President.
Also took out the can recycling and some trash, only one more trash run needed, the newspapers, LOL.
But I am tired from getting up at 6am to feed the kitties, then the alarm going off everytime I started to fall asleep.
Guess I am up for the day, time to try my Lazyfit.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to sweep your front porch area around your front door. Shake out your welcome mats and wipe down your front door.

Posted the Election Results on the Bulletin Board and arranged it so it looks a little more professional. Then I made up some new comment cards, we were out and a holder for them. Now I could just get people to leave the pens we would be set, LOL.
Also cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher, refilled water bottles while brewing the coffee. then swept the office and living room, we have had a few kitty throw-ups that were finally dry and could be swept up.
I pulled the surge protectors out of the pantry to go with the lazy susans that I am giving my Sister to use in her new home.
Oh, I think I will go and make doctors appointments while I have a Fabulous Sweet Paradise Apple Cinnamon Muffin - OMG I die.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Errand Day AND with the new month we have moved to the Dining Room, time to clear off some of the things that have begun to pile up on the table.
Also, October's Habit: Get Rid of Paper Clutter, time to start thinking about gathering your Tax Stuff and getting rid of what you don't really need.
I have the laundry all ready to go upstairs, got the Cold Blanket off the bed and read the washing instructions.
Then I cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee, and started the dishwasher. Got my new list together and gathered a few more things for my sister's basket.
I need to go play around in the website and order something to pick up tonight, maybe a chef's salad.
Off to email, etc., then the laundry goes upstairs.

Laundry is done. The Cold Blanket spread across the sofa to dry and the other line dry stuff is hanging on the bed.
Just went and got the other clothes out of the dryer so all the laundry is done!!! Yeah.
Time to finish up the Newsletter, I am putting in stuff about rent increase/decrease in our area. I had been feeling bad that it might be problematic for Carlton, but based on the unhappiness of many of the residents with all the changes happening, I don't feel bad at all!
Time to look further for where I want to move, LOL.

Boy am I sore from my chores yesterday. The stairs really kill my back!
Taking it easy today, now that I am home. I got the main chores done this morning plus I got the Cold blanket back on my bed, so I can relax the rest of the day.
