Saturday .... a day for fun ....
WOW I am very surprised, I seem to have caught up from all the chores that were delayed during my illness. Not much on my list anymore.
Today I will probably work on gathering stuff for the "Textile Drive" at the library, and I guess I could take this time to redo all the holiday decorations. The hallway has Christmas garlands and an easter bunny, hahahahaha.
Guess it is time for spring stuff, but first I need to clear email and I have a lunch date for Chinese.

It's stuff you can five to Goodwill, clothes, purses, bedding, stuffed animals... no furniture or oversized items.
I think it is easier for some people to get to the library since the bus stop is right there any driving to a Goodwill is difficult

Sunday ... a day for reflection and Parties, LOL ...
I cleaned up the litter boxes then went to clean the kitchen - washes my hands, LOL. Got all the kitty dishes soaking, packaged up my trash - did I mention I purchased a stapler for the kitchen. You can't use a twist tie, or tie the handles on paper bags, so I staple them just before I throw them down the trash chute.
Working on email/socials now, before I run down to brunch. Then my goals for the day are to gather things for the Textile Drive, and maybe work on my decor stuff.

It's Home Blessing Day AND time to check under the bed and get rid of stuff that doesn't belong there.
I got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher is running. Today I need to take out some trash and recycling then grab all the decor items in from the Storage Room before the rain starts.
But my main focus is to gather my items for the Textile Drive. I have been stacking things up here and there so now it's time to put them all into one bag or two.
Off to email/socials but first my paper and some yogurt.

Got all the catfood put away that had been piling up on my hall table, and now I will bag up some more stuff to go tomorrow. Off to check socials.

It's Planning Day AND time to deal with the clothes pile wherever you have one!
I have been busy, the maintenance man came to check the filter on my dishwasher - I have never felt like it gets everything really clean, my glassware is cloudy no matter how much jetdry I use. So I had to quickly unload the bottom rack so he could get to the filter.
And I had just gotten out of the shower, I had gotten dressed, brushed my teeth but my hair was still wet. Left him to it and finished with my hair.
Then I took out the trash, some litter, some recycling, when I got back my hair was wet again, LOL. I sweat on my head, it's so wierd.
But anyway I bagged up the 2 boxes of stuff I had been gathering for Goodwill and Free Table, then bagged up the clothing and new items in a separate bag. So I am off to the Textile Drive at 1pm.
Oh, they found some plastic and paper and other stuff in the dishwasher, it is running again so we shall see when I return.

Boxes are all broken down, towels didn't get too wet and were dry when I checked this morning. I cleaned up the kitchen and bagged up some trash.
My Kitty Grass order came and I restocked my bathroom and realized I am down to my emergency TP, off to order some more.

It's Clean the Purse and Car Day AND time to change those sheets!
My first run of trash and boxes has gone out. Then I cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and put away the new box of catfood. I also made an appointment for Sylvester for May 9th - I thought he might be close to euthanasia but he has been making me crazy today demanding stuff so I think he is fine, LOL. I did ask them to send me a list of the at home people who perform that task. I will have a chat with the Vet about Quality of Life, I have been watching that and so far his is better than mine, LOL.
Now working on email/socials and listening to Taran's Podcast. Next I will deal with the decor boxes in the living room.
Oh yeah, I also did a Safeway order.

Re-bined my Christmas Decor items, just need to grab the garlands off the entry and that will be done. Broke down the box they were in, then checked my living room light on a timer. It didn't come on last night so I was correct the bulb was burnt out so I replaced that. I did dust the floorboards, and cleaned up that space under the chair a bit.
Now back to email.

Saturday .... a Day for fun !!
I got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher is running. It is housekeeping day so I cleared the counters in the kitchen and bathroom.
Took down the Christmas Garland from the hallway and got that box put away into the Storage Room, then I realized I could move the bins under the dining room table to sit on top of the other bins in the corner of the balcony.
I watered plants and refreshed the kitty water. I still have some stuff to get up off the floor and I need to take out the recycling but for now time to have some yogurt and read the paper.

Kitty litter and recycling out, then I loaded up my 3-wheel rollie with cat scratchers and toys and rolled it into the closet, LOL. So only a few more things to get off the floor once she gets here.

Housekeeping is done. It was different, she spent more time in the kitchen I even saw her wiping down the front of the dishwasher, but it was interesting that she didn't use much water. She would spray and wipe down, I am not sure I ever heard the shower go on but the bathtub is clean. Also heard the toilet seat bang down a couple of times.
She forgot to dust but I have never seen somebody vacuum so ferociously and thoroughly. Everything is very clean and I can do the dusting myself.

It's Home Blessing Day AND time for the living room and a detailed vacuum of the edges and baseboards.
I got the dishwasher unloaded and put away, old kitty plates are soaking, litter boxes cleaned and some email done.
Time now for the newspaper, some yogurt and computer games. I guess today I will actually change out my hallway decor and get the spring garlands and flag up.
For now a little email then back to the bedroom for games.

It's Planning Day AND time to do a detailed dusting of the living room! I need to do this all over the house since the Housekeeper forgot, I will put it at the top of my list for the day.
Kitchen is cleaned up, dishwasher loaded, coffee brewed. I got a few packages when I grabbed the paper and my new zip hoodie came. I love it, it is a charcoal gray and perfect for wearing around the house and out on errands. My old one was getting a little ratty looking, so it can just stay at home now.
Sylvester is driving my crazy asking for cream, LOL. Time to deal with email/socials and other office stuff.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to spend 15 minutes clearing anything out of the living room that doesn't belong.
I finally binned up my "emergency TP". I have been meaning to do it forever. I just figure with all the bins I have from when I was planning to move I should use them for stuff like that. It takes up less room on my closet shelf in the stackable bins.
Cleaned up the kitchen and litter boxes. Realized that I am almost out of yogurt, so time for a Safeway order.
Time to deal with email/socials and Safeway.

Dustbusted the office floor, Sylvester likes to knock the kitty grass onto the floor by trying to eat the roots, it spills dirt all over.
Played a bunch of computer games, did a food order, I have managed to spend all but $22 this month. I got the dinner plus an egg salad sandwich and some desert.
Got thru email, should go check into socials.

It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND since it will only be one day till we switch areas time to do a quick declutter of all the rooms with clutter.
I accidentally flooded my bathroom, LOL, didn't realize I had left the showerhead on the extra bracket so it was pointed right at the exposed corner - the shower curtain was no help. Thank goodness I noticed before it was too bad and got it turned to the wall. So I have all the towels soaking things up - it was time for new towels anyway.
Cleaned up the kitchen this morning and got the dishwasher unloaded, so now working on email/socials.
Got an email yesterday that the Moose has Bingo tonight so we are going back to give it a try. The lady who used to run it was the reason we went, she was fun, not sure about it now but we will see.
Off to email.

Oh, I forgot, last night around 11.15pm some fool was burning up thier tires doing donuts in the parking lot, or just trying to make a lot of noise by reving up the car and then I heard a "thump".
I laughed and said, Oh good you damaged your car. Then I heard them have a bit of difficulty to get the car going and they left.
I called down to the front desk and reported it so they could check the security cameras, I am not sure what they hit but some of the staff park back there. Not sure if the hit was a car in the parking lot or on the street.

Saturday ... a day to watch the weather channel ..
Got up early and fed the kitties and then back to bed where I was rudely awakened with a FIRE ALARM at 11am! Only ran for 3 minutes but I swear it is so loud it is making me lose my hearing.
Anyway, got the kitchen cleaned up and the kitty boxes emptied, the coffee brewed. Now I am going back to bed with my yogurt / newspaper / coffee and play games.
