Holy Cow ... I won $250! at the Moose Lodge. We played 7 games and I won 4. Three at $50 and Blackout at $100. Everyone told me to go and buy a couple of lottery tickets.
So my friend drove me over to the liquor store and I bought one for the 98 Million and one for the 178 Million, LOL.

Saturday ... It's a fun day ...
Time to take a break and have some fun. I am recuperating from all the excitement of Bingo, hahahahaha. Since I practically cleaned them out last night I need to at least join the Moose.
For now I am working on email, the newspaper and yogurt.

Sunday ... Time for Fun and Gratitude ...
Got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher loaded and unloaded, got the coffee brewing. Then went and did a quick Safeway order, needed a few lunch items for the week.
So I have $5 Bingo at 2pm and then Safeway coming at 5-9pm. Oops I almost forgot cough drops ... while I am well this cough will just not go away, it's so annoying!
Ok, order updated, now off to grab some coffee and clear my email.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND this week the Master bedroom, Bathroom and Closet. Time to dive under the bed and clear out anything stuffed under there, then do a quick sweep or vac to get the dust bunnies.
I got the house opened up and made my list but first I need to clear email, read the paper and have some yogurt.

So I went to refill some water bottles and noticed some "mold", I think, on the whole where you pour the water in. Needlesstosay the container has been taken apart and is currently soaking in bleach water!
Now I am working on email and other stuff while I have some coffee, but first I need to go and ride my bike!

Bike done, and I put the winter comforter into it's bin, so that is done. Oh and I put away one of my personal heaters too, hope it doesn't drop into the 50's now.
Top 3 things on my list are complete, so can I goof off the rest of the day, LOL.
Off to work on email and twitter.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Planning day and time to put away all the clothes that have piled up on a chair or exercise bike, LOL.
I scrapped up all the old kitty food and ran that out to the trash while Sylvester had some fresh new food. I have ordered some Smalls to see if he will like that better but it hasn't come yet.
Off to read the paper and have some yogurt.

The kitties must think it is too cold, both are staying in bed this morning instead of going to lay on the balcony, it is a bit gray and gloomy.
I got the dishwasher loaded up and but away the kitty food.
Also last night I got the water container scrubbed, dried and put back together. I was able to clear up all of the mail pile I had piled up.
Now I need to get thru email and twitter, plus I need to ride my bike.

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Anti-Procrastination Day -- I have a couple of chores that qualify! AND time to clean off the nightstands and then dust them!
It's Housekeeping Day for me. I already got the bathroom and kitchen ready, which just means clearing off the counters.
Plus we have the Town Hall meeting today, very interested to see what they have to say other than go over the 1st floor painting project. Sometime this week I need to clear my "porch" wall, even tho they won't be working here until May 6th, according to the handout we received this morning.
For now it's time to go and read the paper, have some yogurt and watch Perry Mason, LOL.

So I received my Smalls order. Now I have to watch a "transition" video, but first I need to thaw a couple. Plus the coolest thing!!
They pack a bunch of stuff around the sides and they tell you it is dissolvable ... you take it out of the plastic and spray water on it and it just dissolves!
So cool, and then I don't have a bunch of material that isn't recyclable, that is what I hate about the meal delivery services. So that is great.
Meeting was good except they don't seem to understand they have bad decorators, no matter how many times we tell them. They keep putting in furniture that isn't good for old people, it's important that it isn't too low and people can get in and out of the chairs.
Plus they keep removing perfectly good chairs and tables and replacing them with cheap ones, instead of replacing the dining table and chairs that have seen better days and need replacing.
That part is every annoying. But they are going to do some sort of remodel to the living room / dining room / activies area after they get everything painted. Sounds like they are going with a light gray/tan color, so it is going to start looking antiseptic - hospitally; but I am trying to hold off judgement because maybe it will be nice.
We have some nice accent walls at each of the apartment doors and they will be getting rid of those colors and painting them a "little darker gray" than the walls. It should be interesting.
I am off to read the paper and play some computer games.

Oh I forgot, Karin (Housekeeping) came early. I wasn't really ready and was taking a nap, LOL. But she got the house cleaned and I managed to get ready for my meeting around all the cleaning.
I got the bathroom back together before she finished the living room; some of the kitchen is done but I had to deal with the Smalls delivery first. Now I am going to put a few things back together in the living room and bedroom and then take a break!

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day ... AND clean off the top of the dresser. Get everything put back where it belongs.
Opened up the balcony and got the final things back into the house, the rollie and comforter bin -- the kitties sit on it in front of the bike while I ride, LOL.
Then I got the dishwasher going, fed the kitties, set up Slyvesters' new prescription -- I had to cut a few pills in half for his night meds, and then got the litter box cleaned up.
Time for newspaper and yogurt, but first I need to clear a few emails.

Got email cleared, paid a couple of bills and balanced my secondary bank account. It takes about 1 minute because I only have it because it was an ATM right by my condo. I should probably close it but it would be a PITA because my tiny pension is automatically deposited there, LOL.
Time to catch up on twitter.

Did a Safeway order for tomorrow, cleared email and got my Chewy order coming.
Next week is going to be "summery", so I want to make some pasta salad. Needed a few things from Safeway, LOL.
Mostly just goofing off and resting while I watch TV and play games, I am behind on my crosswords so I need to work on that.

Monday's MIssion
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND we are in the living room. Time to clear any hotspots that have cropped up.
I've been busy, decided to stop and finish this post. I cleared out all the old kitty food in the kitchen and got the dishwasher loaded.
Last night I took down all the hallway decorations, even tho they won't be painting my area until next week, they wanted everything down.
This morning I balanced my checkbook, took about a minute, then realized I need a new check register and tried to figure out how to get one for an hour with no good result. I tried with BofA but the check people want to give me checks and hang up on my when I don't go that route with the automatic voice person. Looked into buying them online and that would be $16 for 4, including shipping and all that stuff. Oh, I wonder if Staples.com might have them, I will ahve to check.
So that led to figuring out what money I need to transfer from my savings account, so I did that.
Oh and yesterday I watered the outside plants, need to do the indoor ones today.
Bingo at 2pm! Off to finish up email, twitter and some computer games.

Fun Bingo, I would have won but I was concentrating on another number and missed a diagonal Bingo, LOL! So annoying when that happens. But I have tons of Bingo winnings, I took some out of my "bingo money bag" and put it into a bowl and it was $21!
Now back to clearing up email, twitter and games until dinner.

So I get out of bed to go and close the balcony door, and I purposely roll out on the other side so that Sylvester isn't disturbed, he seems to be sleeping so soundly.
I come back in to grab my tablet so I can go plug it in to charge and he has moved INTO MY SPOT!!! I swear!! he cracks me up. So now when I go back in he will have to move, LOL>

It's planning day AND time to look for hidden trash, under the sofa, in the cushions.
I took out the old kitty food, trash and a couple of boxed to the bins.
Got the balcony opened up and I am waiting for my newspaper to be delivered. Apparently they just got here!
Time for yogurt!

2 loads of laundry, well one and one of kitty litter rugs are cleaned and the one load in the dryer. Now I need to put the rugs out to air dry and hang up my line dry stuff.
I did transfer my laundry soap to a smaller container so the bag isn't so heavy, that worked well.
Then I loaded up the dishwasher and I have it running, still need to clear email and twitter, have my coffee - which I just realized I forgot to put sugar in, LOL -- and read the paper.
