It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the Front Porch, the Entrance area and the Dining Room. Time to sweep your front porch area, shake out your welcome mats and wipe down your front door.
I got thru the paper, played some games, had some yogurt. Then Nala told me to get out of bed, so I unloaded the dishwasher while I brewed the coffee.
We finally got our new calendars for the month and apparently Thanksgiving has moved to the 22nd for a buffet. So I had to send off a note asking how that would work with the entire community, can we bring our family, do we need reservations, will there be servers for those of us who can't really stand in lines for food.
And finally will there be a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday at the normal time 4pm to 6pm. Working on email/socials and getting my calendar and Alexa set up for the month.
Off to finish up email/socials

Won 2 games at Bingo, had to split the pot on one, came home with $17!
And I am so tired, I think I had more tension than I thought from the election. I was so afraid we wouldn't be smart and make the changes needed.

Sometimes Google is a really good thing. I have been trying to figure out why my alarm clock light hasn't been on. When I flipped the switch to standard time I searched all over for some way to make the light work. Ended up replacing the batteries (backup for power failures) and still couldn't find it.
Finally remembered to try asking google ... I had to push the long bar button on top of the clock, hahahahaha. now the light is on! So happy.
Got the rollie loaded up with all the broken down boxes, newspapers, trash and recycling.
Now I am trying to get the Velcro circle off the old laptop so I can put the handle on the new one. Hmm, I think I will ask google if there are any helpful hints for removable.

Today was spent on getting the upstairs of the house put back together from the window replacement. Exercise/crafts room, guest bedroom, and theater all done. We’ll probably work on the office next week which has been a thorn in our side for more time than we want to admit. Next big project, and this really belongs in the renovation thread, is the guest room bathroom and the powder room downstairs which won’t be started until after Thanksgiving. Gives us a few weeks to focus on reorganization projects.

It's Home Blessing Day - I have a lot to do since I cancelled Housekeeping on Saturday AND We are in the kitchen, so time to scrub your stove top. Soak the knobs and drip pans in hot soapy water while you clean the stove top.
One thing I don't have to do, the stovetop, LOL. I did clean up the kitchen while I brewed coffee. Got the dishwasher loaded up and running, and finally took the loaded rollie out to the trash bin. I had mostly recycling but a few bags of trash and old litter.
I filled up the trash chute and had to leave the recycling in a bin on the floor; the trash room was out of control. Someone got a 50-inch TV, the box and Styrofoam is there, so I had to leave my plastic bin full of recyclables.
My chores are to dust the living room and bedroom, run the vac over the office/living room/bedroom and put away any clutter/stuff that is out of place.
I did do some dusting, got a table and one of the bookcases done along with the detailed dusting in the living room.
Oh and I sent out all the laundry this morning, so that is done. Paid the rent and made a dinner pickup order for tonight.
Now working on email/socials.

It's Planning Day AND time to clean out the silverware drawer or any other drawer that may have crumbs and debris.
I did clean up the kitchen, go that the dishwasher unloaded, brewed the coffee and did a bit of mopping in the kitchen, a little water was spilled.
Also watered the outside plants so just need to do the inside ones. Plus do some more dusting and maybe pull out the vac today.
I did find out that "management" changed the Newsletter I write. They do not have edit permission and they took out an important factual statement about the rent increase.
I haven't decided if I should confront them, probably will once I gather a few more facts, or just get even, probably both.
I was thinking I would post a Mid-Month Newsletter that detailed the Thanksgiving plans AND mention that the printer "accidentally" left out part of the rent increase information and here it is. I will be checking with my lawyer friend about this plan.
Off to clear email/socials.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to grab a trash bag and clean out your refrigerator. You are to toss ANYTHING that will not get eaten any time soon. This means that new salad dressing you decided to try but really don't like.
I had the Safety Meeting this morning so just getting around to my normal morning chores. Got the coffee brewed, kitchen cleaned up, dishwasher unloaded, and refilled water and soda bottles.
Been working on email/socials, I need to do a Safeway order and do some more dusting/vacuuming today.
Off to finish up email.

Today was shampooing the carpets in the family room and dining room. Part because they needed it and part because even though they were careful the window installers tracked in some dirt. The dust in the house was not horrible but there is a light dusting on most everything. Our cleaners come tomorrow and I’ve already told them tomorrow will be a deep clean day. I also painted the trim around the new garage service door this afternoon. With all we have already done and with more to come it’s going to be mid December before the house is totally put back together.

It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND time to take 5 minutes and check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink.
Coffee brewed, kitchen clean, and now I am working on email/socials.
I need to unpack the laundry and maybe today will be vacuuming day. Last night I did grab the towels off the balcony. This morning when Nala insisted I prove she couldn't go out on the balcony by opening the door I realized I forgot one!
I also didn't bring in the chair cushion because I didn't think it would be that much rain. It's not that much but it is steady so the back of the balcony may get wet.
Back to checking email and enjoying the rain.

Saturday ... a day for fun and goofing off ...
Got the Balcony opened up this morning and moved things around to dry better before the rains tomorrow. Then grabbed the paper/yogurt and played some computer games.
Now I have cleaned up the kitchen, made some lunch, brewed some coffee and working on email/socials.
Little by little getting all the laundry put away, that's my goal for the day - get it all put away, and open up the two boxes I have and get them put away as well.
Also have some office paperwork I need to deal with. Off to email.
