So I got the living room and office swept so I can put the office rug back down. Also made an appointment for to see the apartment after my doctors appointment.
Off to dinner.

$1500 a month would buy a lot of restaurant meals, even at today's prices, even in California.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Errand Day -- boy did I have errands AND time to prep the living room for holiday decorations. Put away stuff that doesn't belong to make room for decorations.
I went to Kaiser today, started out at the "shot clinic" - got a flu and covid shot, then went to the lab and had bloodwork done, then went to the doctor for my annual physical. Found out a lot of things I was concerned about were normal, LOL, the dents from my compression socks are from water retention - not dehydration which is how I was treating it, LOL. Plus when we went for Chinese the other day I did notice a big difference in the swelling ankle the next day.
I also had concerns about memory, she gave me the trump test and I forgot one word, so I am going to do a memory consult because it will be a good idea to have a baseline. And finally she said my heart was beating a little erratically - I do notice that occasionally so we are going to have an EKG done.
Then I went to look at the Apartment... Apparently they lowered the rents this morning, LOL, so now it is about $150 cheaper. And the locations are good but the Elevator is at the south end of building 1 and the apartment is in building 2, apparently there is a catwalk attachment to connect the two buildings. It does have central air and heat, plus the washer/dryer in the unit. And they are very nice, but now I am in a dilemma because I want to get away from stairs and the 2 available units are on the 2nd, and 3rd floors. I did find out they have another smaller property where I could get a ground floor apartment, but no washer/dryer in the unit. I am thinking about that one because it wouldn't be any difficulty to walk over to the laundry since it is on the ground floor as well.
So much stuff to consider. Now, I am finally home!! so it is time to get some things done like email! Run the dishwasher, you know, normal chores for the day.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Clean your Purse and Car Day AND finish up whatever you need to in the living room.
This morning I got the dishwasher unloaded while brewing the coffee, then played some computer games and tried to get my body stretched out and to stop being sour. Between the shots and walking twice the amount of steps as usual I was sort of sore all over, LOL.
Now that I am up and moving, less soreness and my one arm is only sore if I lay on it, so I won't do that.
Anyway, I took out 2 bags of trash and 2 bags of recycling, cleaned up the kitchen and office a bit and next on my list is to clean up the kitty throw up in the bedroom -- they have been busy!
But first I will clear email and catch up on social media. Also I want to rework the numbers for my move, there are a couple more costs to go there - it does seem fiscally irresponsible for me not to move so I need to be sure the numbers work, otherwise I stay here and keep looking around. But the manager told me most people are reducing rents now because not many people move around this time.
Off to email.

Saturday ... a day to enjoy the sunshine ...
Opened up the balcony and did a bit of pruning the geranium, it might be time to ditch it and get a new one. It is pretty old and looking a bit sad. Then I swept the balcony.
Next I cleaned up the kitchen a bit and brewed the coffee. I did get my notice of rent increase, it is ridiculous so I need to do some calculating and see what number would work for me to stay. I already found another project to check out in the area I used to live.
I need to get thru email and then play some games and have some yogurt.

Grabbed the paper and some yogurt and going back to bed. The kitties don't know about the time change so we got our morning pills and food.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Home Blessing Day AND time to spend 15 minutes in the entrance way of your home. Grab all the mail, shoes and jackets and put them away.
I have many things on my list, just ordered some bins so I can start packing, they will be here on Friday. I have started a list of things to get rid of like take the boxes to shredder, get rid of the cardboard kitty condo, book boxes to goodwill, etc.
Also need to take down the Halloween stuff and put out the Thanksgiving stuff.
I need to make some calls the Kaiser to find out about getting an EKG - I am thinking Tuesday won't be as busy, then I have dentist on Thursday. Plus I need to make an appointment to go look at another apartment, but also do some calculations on what number I would need to stay here. Oh and I have housekeeping this week too!!! I thought it was next week, LOL.
So many things to do! Oh and I need to send out an email for the Newsletter - guess I will do that now, then grab some yogurt, the paper and crawl back in bed for a bit.

Having some lunch while I update and clear email. I did clean up the kitchen while the coffee brewed and I cleaned the old food out of the fridge so now I need to make a trash run. But first I want to do a few other chores that will give me more trash, LOL.
I pulled the box out of the closet and I now have a chewy box that I think will hold the books inside so I can get rid of the box now.
Back to lunch and email.

Got the info on the EKG's; I have the hours and they were able to tell where in the building to go. The downtown Kaiser is huge because it is a hospital and clinic so two big buildings. Now I just need to get the actual address so I can schedule a Lyft for tomorrow.
Also got my request in for a shuttle on Thursday, then I cleaned up the "accident" at the office litter box. Sylvester didn't really learn how to use the box properly, LOL, he digs a hole, but then he stands in the hole instead of putting his butt over the hole, so sometimes we misjudge the edge of the box. It always cracks me up to watch him dig the hole then stand in it.
Got email cleared and I looked around for some more storage bins. I hate to buy them since I know my friend has them but I don't want to press her to bring them over. Oh, I need to go and schedule the bills to be paid, need to add that to the list.
Now I am going to see about boxing the books, and after GH I will start doing trash runs.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Planning Day AND time to the silverware holder and drawer.
Got the dishwasher running and cleaned up the kitchen while the coffee brewed. Earlier I ran the trash out, then grabbed the paper and some yogut.
Got my list together for the day and decided to move the EKG to Thursday when I will already be half way there. After the Dentist I will just grab a Lyft, then Carlton can pick me up from Kaiser.
I have some dustbusting to do and I want to change out my Halloween decorations for the Thanksgiving ones. Then I have some boxes to take out but when I was in the trash room this morning it was a mess and overflowing. Just heard the garbage trucks so maybe it will be back to normal this afternoon.
Got a Kitty grass delivery coming and I think a chewy delivery might occur as well, LOL.
Off to finish email and catching up.
