Off to check my bank account and see if I can access my Visa; they said to keep monitoring it for fraudulent charges but yesterday I was locked out of it, LOL.
Realized I forgot to run the dishwasher last night so got that going this morning. Probably time to go and make some coffee.

Coffee done, checked BofA and there was another bad charge but it was declined. Made a list of all the places I need to change once the new account number comes, already changed a couple to my Discover card so I need to start monitoring that account.
Dustbusted the bathroom, I hate kitty litter, LOL. Trying to decide if I should buy one of those glass floor mats for under my desk. I really don't like the rug I have there currently but maybe I don't need either. I think I will put this rug under the bed, the kitties liked it there at the old house, and see how I like sans rugs.
Email cleared and I am almost done with twitter, off to play computer games.

Dipo, if you are going to be walking around on bare floor, make sure you are wearing something with grippers on your feet, not just socks. A lady who lives alone in our community slipped on her laminated flooring and woke up on the floor a day later.

Oh my word, that is awful. Hope she is ok.
I always have on shoes or slippers, never walk around barefoot or with only socks.
When you have kitties there are too many things that could be on the floor, LOL, hair balls, litter, throw-u

Sunday !! Time for the giant newspaper, LOL!
Should be a lovely day, I might try doing some laundry or working on "Do you have your Ducks in a Row" article.
But for now, time to enjoy the morning, read the paper and catch up on the news.

Finally remembered I needed to unload the dishwasher, LOL, so that is done. Cleaned up / neatened the rest of the kitchen.
I made an outline of the topics I want to cover for my article.
Decided I would do laundry tomorrow, going to sort it and then figure out how much is an actual load so I don't end up with too heavy a load of stuff.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Bathroom dustbusted and towels restocked, daily pills restocked, newspaper done, and I pulled out the laundry so I can sort it. Coffee brewing.
Flylady always says to do a load of laundry a day, this works well for big families. I haven't done that because it was such a PITB at my old house but I have been thinking if I can figure out a bag that would hold one load it would be easier here.
So I am going to sort the laundry into an overnight bag I have, I was going to use something else then I saw the bag up on the closet shelves, so I am going to see if it is a "one load bag", LOL.
Off to clear email and twitter, plus grab my coffee.

Email and twitter cleared and I got my laundry sorted.
LMAO, I was amazed how smelly laundry is when you sort it all out into little piles, I never do that.
AND I took the time to look at the labels and see what the recommended wash temp was .... I was shocked to see that everything is cold, except for 3 items. Amazing, I have been washing everything in warm.
So now I have a loaded bag to take up but I may do that tomorrow morning for now I need to do a few other things.

Went and bought some stock, Chargepoint Holding, it's an electric charger company, I thought it sounded good so I wanted to own some.
Also wrote some of my article on inheritance stuff, I need to review a couple of websites to see if I should reference them.
Also refilled water bottles. I need to take the newspapers out to the recycle bin so that's up next.

OH and I had heard about a place that sells reusable "plastic bags" so I wanted to look into getting them and stop using ziplock stuff.
Anyway they look cool and I was thinking they would make good Christmas gifts.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
So the overnight bag that I have had for years sitting in the top of my closet (both here and at the old place) is the perfect size for a load of laundry. It fits on the shoulder so is easy to carry up. Now I just need to see about getting my laundry soap stuff into smaller containers so that bag isn't so heavy, LOL.
Got the bathroom dustbusted and a load of laundry going, before I headed to the laundry room I did started a computer update and brewed the coffee.
So now it's time to grab some coffee, clear email and twitter and see what else is on the agenda for the day.
Oh we are having some sort of Red Cross Be Ready presentation that I will go over and check out, that's at 1pm.
time for coffee.

Well I washed a pen, LOL, thank goodness they don't leak ... clothes in the dryer, the good one, so I should get dry clothes.
For some reason my Comcast email won't load on Chrome since I did the windows update, so I am having to use edge. Not a big deal but I like having everything on the same window, LOL.
Back to clearing email

http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
All the laundry has been folded and put away, seems I washed a pencil I had been looking for as well, LOL.
No yoga today - its regular, kind of sore from all the climbing stairs yesterday for the laundry, so I guess I will ride my bike. I have been wanting to get that back into my routine.
For now, time to read the paper and have some yogurt.

Good lord, I have the HP Instant Ink program and all of a sudden I can't print because my printer isn't on a wireless internet connection. Their solution is for me to get a "Private Internet Connection", which I said sorry not paying $50 a month to get a $1.00 ink subscription.
But NEWS, apparently they have told the ink it is on a subscription and it can't be used if you cancel your subscription. They told me to buy new ink and replace the cartridges. I asked them how the printer would know the subscription was cancelled and they told me to unplug and replug and then put in new cartridges.
So I guess I will try unplugging and see what happens but first I am going to Bestbuy and order some ink.

Ink is coming, apparently there is a shortage of black ink because it won't be here until Oct 20!! But the other ink will be here tomorrow! Amazing ... good thing I don't have to print much anymore.
Unfortunately I can't print the one thing I wanted, LOL.

So my tablet is seems to be having trouble keeping a connection to the internet so I ordered a new tablet today. I need to look and see how long I have had it, but I think a long time. Off to check the internet about whether this is a known problem.
Maybe I will be able to have 2 tablets again. ONe in the office and one in the bedroom, then I can put the games that drag it down on the newer tablet and the old one will last longer.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Late start today, but the bathroom is dustbusted, paper has been read and I have managed to do a couple of my computer games. It is so annoying that the tablet won't work that well, I have tried to google and find solutions but everything I have found doesn't seem to be in my tablet, LOL.
Anyway, now I am doing email / twitter / and office stuff.
Did some research on Sacramento for my Exciting trip to see RANDY RAINBOW!! So excited. Found some restaurants that the Center referenced but I want to look around for other places as well.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Randy Rainbow adventure today, LOL. I have a detailed listing of parking garages and restaurants from the website. Need to check for restaurants in general.
Did a windows update and somehow lost all my background pictures that I enjoyed. They were automatic and I haven't figured out how to get them back yet.
Everytime I do an update it seems that my Chrome doesn't work as well, LOL, and I end up having to use Edge for a while, hmmmm, so funny that happens.
Off to see if I can get twitter to load.

Saturdays Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Ok, Randy Rainbow was fabulous, if he comes to your city ... go ... we had such a good time. But here goes.
Left at 3pm because we had to go to Sacramento, it's only 67 miles and should take 1 hour and 20 minutes ... but this is Friday, and people leave work to go to Tahoe early on Fridays so, of course we hit traffic. We finally got there after 3 or 4 bad traffic jams around 5ish. Drove around and found the venue, then went to one of the restaurants I had found during my perusal of the Venue website (I had also checked the covid protocols). The Capitol Garage which does appear to have been a garage at some time. The food was excellent and we were out of there by 6:30 and I got dropped at the venue so my friend could go and park the car.
I took my walker (which is really just a sitter) in case we had to stand in lines so I could sit. So I sat in front and waited. Then I saw them turning people away at the door if their purse was too big!!
There was nothing on the website about having to have a tiny purse, about 12 inch square, or a clear bag with your stuff!!! Call my friend, realizing I somehow don't have my phone (I found it sitting on my desk when I got home, thought I had it but had so many things in my pocket I fooled myself), so used my other friends who was waiting with me. Let Sheryl know she had to come back and get my purse and she wouldn't be able to take her purse in either.... Some people we very upset about this, we had a "Karen" yelling at the security people, but she came back got my purse and then went to park again.
Thankfully the show didn't start until 7.30 (actually more like 7.50), we finally got in and they were playing some great 70's / 80's music at first and the audience was getting into it, singing along.
It was a great show, so entertaining and the age range of the audience was from teens to us oldies, who knew the words to the songs, LOL, and sang along, hahahahaha.
Finally headed home at 9.30 and apparently there was some other event at the Kings Arena so cops had some of the streets blocked off, this was very annoying, we just wanted to get out of Sacramento, LOL.
Oh and where we were there are a lot of one way streets so maneuvering our way out of Downton (also where the capitol is, so some nice buildings to see) was almost traumatizing ... but we finally made it to the freeway.
As we were returning home there was a terrible wreck on the north bound side, we saw ambulances several times when we were quite far from the actual accident and we felt sorry for all the people backed up for miles and miles.
Then we hit high winds blowing the car around, quite challenging, finally made it home at 11:15pm. My friend called me, I had found my phone, and said there was another terrible accident on the freeway north bound over by her house backing up traffic forever.
Again felt sorry for all the people stuck but so happy we didn't get caught in anything like that.
Whew, it was a long day, very fun entertainment, excellent food and company.
Now to get back to normal.

Took out 2 bags of kitty poop and some recycling while I waited for my coffee to brew.
Also cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwasher loaded up, will need to run it tonight.
Unloaded "THE PURSE that couldn't go in the venue", and I have a tiny purse that would have worked but I brought the big on ON PURPOSE!! So annoying that the website didn't say anything about this issue.
Walker back in place for the kitties to sit on and the house is all back in order so I can enjoy my day.
Off to clear email / twitter, listen to my podcasts and have my coffee. Oh and I need to do a Safeway order.

Lord have I had the deliveries today. Everytime I settle down to relax another delivery has come.
Got my new tablet, that wasn't supposed to be here until Monday, then my new Stasher bags came and a Christmas gift, and then my giant Chewy delivery.
Finally my Safeway order just came, got most everything I ordered so I am happy, and I got it put away.
We are trying a new litter to see if it is less trackable.
