I did take out a couple of bags of trash earlier and now that it has cooled off a bit we have had 2 very short power outages.
Apparently 5000 people are without power over in Walnut Creek, no reason has been stated why that has happened.
So odd.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Planning Day AND we have moved to the Entrance, Front Porch and Dining Room. Time to clear your 4th of July decorations and wipe down the front door.
I cleaned up the kitchen while the coffee brewed, listened to Taran and did a Safeway order. Yesterday I got the Newsletter out for print and it was distributed this morning.
Have several things on my list for the day plus Bingo at 6:30pm.

Next up is restocking and dustbusting the bathroom before I hit the showers.

Dishwasher unloaded and kitchen cleaned up. I did fill up my new ice cube trays, they are silicone, my sister told me she wanted some for Christmas so I bought them, then she relized that she needed ones with 1 inch cubes so they will fit into her water bottle.
So now I am the owner of these and looking for new ones for her, LOL.
Back to Taran and email/socials.

https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Home Blessing Day and we are now in the Kitchen! Time to scrub the stovetop, knobs and all.
I don't need to scrub the stove but I did clean all the old food out of the fridge. My butter said best before 2021, LMAO, and I had some old take out from the Bistro. Once that was done, the coffee brewed and the kitchen cleaned up I had a bit of lunch and then did a Safeway order.
I will probably be working in the bedroom today but I have a list of things so we shall see what I end up doing.
Listened to Taran and I got thru the paper so now it's time for email and socials.

It's Planning Day AND time to clean out that silverware drawer.
I cleaned up the kitchen while I sauteed my home-grown zucchini, squash and red bell peppers. Made an excellent lunch.
Got the rollie loaded up with newspapers/litter and have the other recycling ready to go, plus a bag of trash. Then I vac'd the office and cleaned up the litter area.
I managed to update my Alexa with this month's stuff and I still need to work on the bedroom and bathroom a bit.
Got email cleared, I need to deal with socials now.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to scrub the kitchen sinks and faucets.
I brewed the coffee while I made some lunch, breakfast for lunch since I had Air-Fried (AF'd) a potato the other day and then didn't eat. So I chopped it up, added some onions, sauteed then added some eggs. Also AF'd some toast and cleaned up the kitchen.
Guess I am ready to say I sent Sylvester over the Rainbow Bridge Saturday. For a few days I have been very sad, Tuesday was the first day I didn't cry when I mentioned him to myself. Nala is confused and looking around the house but today she "caught" a mousie (the toy kind) and announced it to me and required petting and treats as acknowledgement, LOL.
So I have been De-Sylvestering the house, had to remove the pill reminders from Alexa, turned the litter box back around so Nala can use the doorway and last night I pulled the chair out and dismantled his fort. Man is there a lot of cat hair all over.
My chores today is vacuuming the corner and putting that back together, finish reading the paper and do a few more chores around the house.
Probably time to water the plants and I need to get in touch with my Financial Planner. I went to check the balance the other day and it has improved by $125,000!!!!! I need to see what he is doing to secure these funds from the Stock Market Crash that I am sure is coming at some point.
Off to email/socials.

You were such a good cat mommy to Sylvester and I know from all your posts about him that he was deeply loved.

It's Errand Day and time to clean the stove, dishwasher and the refrigerator. Wipe down the doors, handles and surfaces.
My day is Trash Day, LOL. I did get the fort area vacuumed and noticed there was a ton of cat hair behind the nightstand so had to move that and vac there as well. So now I have more boxes to break down and trash.
I ordered some lunch, I really wanted a Meatball sandwich from Mellos but they don't do delivery, surprising since they are a pizza place.
I refilled water bottles, cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwasher running. Now I need to take out all of that trash and sweep the floors.
Also trying to figure out how to get Nala on some sort of feeding schedule. She doesn't seem to have a routine that she is used to without Sylvester around. So we are working on that. Today is the first day she is napping on the bed like she did before, she "yelled" at me to get up so she could have her spot, hahahahah.
Off to email/socials and Taran.

Got up late so I was busy playing games, reading the paper and planning my day.
Ran down and got a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich for lunch! It was quite good.
Working on email/socials, listening to Taran and I did get the coffee brewed.
Need to go grab my coffee, unload the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen.

Cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and got ready for my lunch date with friends. I am going to get some flowers and new kitty grass on the way back home so that is one task accomplished.
Still need to read the Sunday paper but I will get to that later.

Finished sweeping and got the kitchen put back together. Nuked up my lunch - had some fab spaghetti/meatballs yesterday, plenty of leftovers. I just wrapped up the meatballs and froze them for the future pasta dinners, LOL.
I also completed my Health Directive - it has been on my list since 6/5/2025 - Wow, I didn't realize I had had that email that long! It wasn't really hard to do, but did make me think a little bit on some of the questions. Now I just need to get it signed and them distributed to the places that need it.
My sister already knows my wishes, we have talked about it when Covid first hit and people had to be on ventilators. Anyway, that is a nice task to have done!
Back to lunch and other stuff.
