Saturday - a day for rest and recovery
I slept funny on my arm so now I have to exercise it to get the sourness gone, LOL.
Mostly today I need to unpack my laundry and get the closet in order. I have to put the giant comforter up on the shelf and do a little rearranging.
Also need to establish my Christmas Present area since the first one I ordered came yesterday. I need to box it and tag it for later wrapping.
For now, just the paper, yogurt, and some computer games. Not sure there is any Perry today.

Hauled out the newspapers and some trash, then checked the ballot box. I am amazed at the responses, LOL. Some people put their names on their ballot, we do not track who votes, I understand the caregivers who are completing them for someone. They put For name. Others are putting I don't know this person, next to the candidate.
There is only one person per job, plus I made a write in line. It's fine not to vote for someone but I am entertained that they need to make comments. I did provide a candidate statement for each person.
Then I went to make a doctors appointment, for some reason my Doctor has not had any Thursdays, I am going to ask her about that, maybe her kid was in something on Thursday because I was shocked when some Thursday appointments came up. I grabbed one. Updated my wall calendar with appointments and housekeeping.
Made my orders for dinner for a couple of days that I don't want to sit down. I will drop them off tonight when I go down. Not really interested in most of the dinner but I do love cornbread stuffing and I haven't read my book in ages, except for one day.
Now it's time to unload that laundry, LOL!!

Sunday ... a day of rest ....
The laundry still haunts me, LOL, I guess I will actually deal with it after brunch today.
I did do a little kitchen clean up and took out the can recycling and trash. It was nice to find the trash room was under control - I did run into Maintenance dealing with it yesterday, so it isn't trashed today! YEAH!
Grabbed the paper, yogurt and now clearing email and playing computer games.

Had a great brunch, then came home and was watching Star Wars and Top Gun: Maverick while I played computer games.
Got a call from my friend and ended up going for Chinese! So fun and we were able to catch up on more stuff. Plus we went by Krispy Kremes and I got a dozen - so my morning sugar rush is ready to go, LOL.
Now trying to get caught up on email, social media, the US Open and other stuff.

It's Home Blessing Day and time to spend 15 minutes and scrub your stove top! Soak the knobs and drip pans in hot soapy water while you clean the stove top.
I cleaned up the kitchen while I brewed my coffee and earlier this morning I ran out the trash. Now I am working on email. I made up my list, so next up is Bathroom Dustbust and then the bag o laundry, LOL.
I was a little pissed off because I got a response from "management" that seems to be purposely stupid and ignoring the question. So I wrote a huge email siting all kinds of laws and then sent it to my friend, the lawyer, and she talked me off the ledge.
Now I am thanking them for agreeing on the one item and asking which of the other two options do they want to do. Guess it's time to send my Problem / Solution / Benefit memo which deals with other stuff. I have on month to blow up this little "whipper snapper" who is now manager. AND I think I'm am smarter than she is, LOL.
Off to email, bathroom and laundry.

Oh, I thought I had explained it. We have a little table with 2 chairs (that the former Manager purchased specifically for the Resident Council), 2 bulletin boards and a black suggestion box that were previously in a corner between one of the elevators and the mail boxes. Easily accessible by the residents and just tucked into a corner, not impeding the exit door (to the outside) or the hallway to the dining room and mailboxes.
For some inexplicable reason the new manager moved it to the back of the building into the Community Room (which was the Theatre Room and rarely used). No notification, no reason , just all of a sudden moved.
So I said, ok, maybe they needed that space for the Kitchen while the remodel was going on, so I let it be. They didn't use it during the remodel, it had one of those tall recycle bins sitting there. I personally think that The new Manager has OCD and wants everything put away all the time.
So I sent them an Email asking when they are moving it back to it's original space, and suggested two other places if that one doesn't work. I sent it to the Manager, her boss and the President of Carlton.
i got a basic non-answer from the Activities Director, not even the manager, LOL. And they don't seem to understand what "public-facing" means. I had said it needs to be public facing for residents, families and care-givers.
I basically wrote them with an email that tore them a new one but my lawyer friend has suggested a different response so I am working on that.
Oh, and one of the ladies in a wheelchair told me it was a hardship for her to roll all the way over to that area, when she used to be able to see it when she came down for dinner. I did mention that in the email and now they want me to tell them who the people are that have complaints!
If it doesn't have to do with their apartment, then it is not the RC job to tell on people. The Resident Council is supposed to be a liason for the residents, not a tattle-tail.

It's Planning Day AND time to clean out your silverware drawer.
i cleaned up the kitchen a bit, fed the kitties and grabbed a yogurt and the paper and went back to bed.
Now I am back up and I have dustbusted the bathroom, cleaned up the kitchen and brewed some coffee. Listened to Taran and have been clearing email, catching up on social media.
Got my new slippers, so it's a nice little surprise. Taking the day off from the Management here, I will finish my response to the stupid email tomorrow.

Had a nice quite Birthday, loave my new slippers and plan to go out for a wonderful steak dinner this weekend. So back in business working on all the stuff that I need to finish up prior to leaving the Resident Council.

Darn it, I went out to measure the old dining room tables and chairs but they have already moved the tables out, shoot. I wanted to reference the height when I ask for cushions for the new chairs so that when we eat dinner our boobs aren't in the dinner plate.
I did measure the chairs, so I can at least compare them.

So I dustbusted the bathroom and did a spot mop of the floor, it looks so much better! Then I dustbusted the office rug, the dustbuster ran out of juice, LOL.
I haven't ever had this newer dustbuster run out of energy before!

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.
I went over the email with my lawyer friend and sent it off. What we did find with all the laws is that they haven't caught up to all the different housing levels for Seniors. There is even 3 definitions of Senior which doesn't even include what Social Security thinks is old enough to retire, LOL.
So now I am finally get to my normal daily stuff. I went and started the coffee, unload the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen. I noticed a spot on my floor where the flooring seems to be bubbling up, need to to and report that.
Listening to Taran and clearing email. The other thing on the list for the day is to get the minutes done so I can send them out to the printer.

It's Clean your Purse and Car day AND time to spend 5 minutes and check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink.
Earlier this morning I cleaned the kitchen, refilled kibble bowls, watered outside plants and did the litter boxes.
Now I am listening to Taran and clearing email while I also rotate my mattress and change the sheets. So far I have changed the pillowcases and stacked them on the floor, moved the kitty stuff off the bed and de-haired, LOL, a blanket that sits on the end of the bed.
Off to start the coffee and work on the rest of stuff.

It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the main bathroom, time to wipe down around the base and the back of the toilet; plus another room of your choice. Spend 5 minutes each day to put a dent in the stash and dash piles we have built.
I have cleaned up the kitchen, got the dishwasher going and made the coffee.
Listening to Taran and clearing email. Also considering selling some stock since I think the market may drop after the possible Wednesday rate cut. It's climbed too high, seems like a correction is due.

It's Planning Day AND time to clean your bathroom trash can.
I think all my stock sold more than the prices I set but I have only seen the confirmations, need to go to Schwab and check on everything. In the meantime I unloaded the dishwasher and then cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and reloaded the dishwasher.
Earlier I made up my new list for today and was thinking I would switch my fans in the living room and bedroom, then I remembered I don't have a remote for the living room fan, darnit!
I have been getting ready for the switch over on the Resident Council, the minutes are out to the printer, and I figured out to switch the bag I use for Bingo with my Dooney Bag that I use for RC. And I got all the stuff printed to update the RC Binder. I need to send out another email regarding issued from the RC meeting.
Off to finish up email, listening to Taran and then take out a bunch of boxes to the trash.
