Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Anti-Procrastination day ... I did this yesterday by writing up a conversation I witnessed about my friend being fired -- for no work reason. We found out they wanted to hire someone else so were trying to find reasons to let her go. And then when they did fire her, they didn't give her a reason just said "we are done". It was so weird.
Also ... Spend 15 minutes decluttering your dining room.
I got my dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, not much to go in yet. And I am going to Chinese lunch today, so I need to dust but the bathroom and put the kitty rug back down, then I can hit the showers.
Off for a bit of email clearing then to the bathroom for dustbusting.

Had a great lunch, then we went and I got some kitty grass and finally we drove over to check out a big fire that was by my house. A four story building in downtown burned, it was amazing how the firefighters kept it contained and collasped down into it self and didn't damage the buildings next to it.
I remembered seeing it on TV and noticing one of the really tall buildings, probably 10-15 stories next to it. They do have all the streets around it shut down, they are still doing some cleanup, but we were able to go in the Safeway parking lot to see it.
Got thru email and some twitter. Listening to my DayDrinking podcast and it's time to play games.

Office litter area has been cleaned, dustbusted and prepped for the return of the litter rug. And the clean litter rug looks excellent. So all litter rugs are back in place and the extra stored away.
oooh, earthquake in Corona CA, 4.1; now I am tired and ready to goof off for the rest of the day!

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day, I did mine yesterday and I am getting a Safeway delivery this morning, AND take 10 minutes to get rid of the hotspots that gather in the entrance, dining room and porch area.
I took out trash and old kitty food but the Painters are in my doorway right now. I am hoping they will be down the hall when Safeway gets here.
I didn't get my paper, so I reported that. Got my coffee brewed and now working on email, twitter.
Trying to stay close to the front door so I can grab my delivery and not disrupt the paper people.

Ok, Safeway delivered, fridge and freezer stuff put away so now I can relax and not worry about bothering the painters.
I think I want a nap, LOL, but I will finish email and check twitter.
I did finally manage to get some food into Sylvester, he was very suspicious of the noises in the hallway. Both of them kept sitting in the hall staring at the door. I think they have moved a down the hall a bit so he ate some food, but then the safeway guy came and he was off.

Final pile of laundry put away, rest of the Safeway order put away, cleaned up kitty plates and got them loaded to the dishwasher. Rescheduled my dental appointment to June and I got my laundry load ready to go.
But, bummer LOL, the painters are in the hallway and I don't want to disrupt them so I will have to delay laundry, hahahahaha, thank you painters.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's clean out the purse and car day plus spend 15 minutes decluttering the dining room.
I am papered and taped into my unit, the painters are back and I heard them taping everything off.
So I can't do laundry today, that's what I am going with, hahahahaha, so it's back to bed for me. I need to read the paper, have some yogurt, figure out my day and play some computer games.

Saturday ... the day to have fun ...
For me more like a day to stay in bed and read books while the rain comes down!
I think the painters are done so I can put my decorations back up, but I need to check first.
Grabbed the paper and some yogurt and back to bed we go, need to see what the weather report says.

Hmmm, looks like I will be sweeping the balcony once the rain stops, I have a bit of puddling, plus it will help get it clean, LOL.
And it seems I should have brought in the cushion and a couple of boxes I left out there towards the back, didn't think it would be this steady and long. Most of the time the upper balconies protect me from getting much water.
Got my coffee and I am starting on my chores. Put away some of the box of paper, thinking about where to put the rest. IN the meantime the kitties like to sit in it, LOL, I found Nala sitting in the lid this morning.
Off to clear email and twitter.

Email done, forgot about twitter, LOL. Just opened up the balcony ... the kitties are impatient when the rain stops. Dumped off the milkcrates and other areas where we had pooling, then put their towels back down.
Flipped the cushion up so it will dry and set the two "box forts" out to dry as well.
Off to see if twitter has anything interesting.

Sunday ... A beautiful day for reflection and love ...
Got the balcony open and put the cushion back in place, sat down and WHOA!!! still wet, LOL. So I brought it into the house where it it warmer hoping it will dry out.
Grabbed the paper and some yogurt, off to catch up on the news.
It's $5 Bingo and rehang the hall decorations day.

Well a few more things have been added to my list, like What are Chilaquiles? They are part of our brunch menu so I need to go look them up.
Got my coffee and loaded the dishwasher, watered the indoor plants then refreshed all the kitty water containers and bowls ... they have many, LOL.
Now I am checking email, twitter and looking up Chilaquiles.

The Chilaquiles were good but probably not a dish you prepare for the masses, the chips got soggy. Took out the old cat food to the trash on the way to brunch.
Got thru the paper, twitter and email. Grabbed my level and put some 2" marks on it. I want to put the pushpins back up that hold my garlands and I do them at 2 inch intervals. That is a task I will work on once I finish playing Bingo.
I did meet with the Sales Person to get a copy of the contract for living here, several people have said they don't have one and I thought maybe if I showed them one they would realize that they had to sign stuff to move in here, LOL.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND the kitchen. Time to scrub the stove top, soak the knobs and drip pans, then put it all back together.
I have a 10am meeting, then I think I will work on my hallway decorations. I also need to send an email about reducing my rent, so I have chores to do!
First time for some yogurt, didn't get a paper so I reported that and asked for redelivery.

Ended up in a meeting for 2 hours this morning, got some good scoop. Then I had Bingo at 2pm, won a game and took out the recycling on my way.
So I am very behind in my chores today, LOL. I did get the newsletter started, somebody took 3 of the sombrero's that were dining table decorations! So I put a missing bulletin into the newsletter.
Time to work on something on my list, LOL.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Planning Day AND time to clean the silver drawer, take out the holder of the silverware and clean it, get rid of all the excess condiment packages and wipe out the drawer. I will say it is amazing how dirty the drawer can get!
I got the dishwasher loaded up and running, and have reported the Newspaper didn't come, so annoying.
Opened up the balcony and moved some boxes out there, Housekeeping is tomorrow and I haven't decided whether I need them for anything yet so now I don't have to think about it for a few days.
Time for some yogurt, games and news.

Refilled the water bottles and re-org'd my water/cat food countertop. I put a bunch more kitty foods into bags for others, it is food my kitties won't eat, but it is good food!
I put my laundry basket away, will have to do that chore maybe Saturday, if not sooner.
Next up on my list is to rehang my "inbox" and put up my hallway decorations. But first I need to clear email and twitter.
So I will enjoy my coffee and go do that.

I got the inbox up on my wall. I think it is secure. I tried before and it came down so I took a nap and thought about it, LOL. This time I tried putting a couple of nails at the bottom and then used my push-pins to secure the top. It is actually a mesh pencil holder but it works to put stuff in since I don't have Ledge outside my door like the other people.
Got the dishwasher unloaded and mostly put away, I have a few coffee mugs drying, then I reloaded it. I found a couple of things.
I received a new Moose Bingo announcement, the 31st!! And I dusted my file cabinet.
so I am making progress on my list ... Bingo at 7pm!!

Got the bath litter rug dustbusted so when I move it later it won't have a ton of litter all over it. All but the last of the living room/office stuff is up off the floor. There are a couple of things I leave until the last minute.
oops ... Karin, the housekeeper, is here!! I quickly ran and moved the litter box and water bowl, then grabbed the 3 things in the office and got them off the floor so now we start.
I am working my way down my list nicely. I had hoped to get the garlands up in the hallway before she got her but I can do that after.
Off to get email and twitter cleared.

Email and twitter done. Housekeeping gone and a few things have been put back into place--mostly the living room. Had to get all the kitty beds back for the afternoon naps.
Time to catch up on my games and enjoy the afternoon, then finish putting everything back where it belongs, LOL.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day -- my errand was going to the eye doctor, AND declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.
So big bucks later, I have new glasses on order and they had to dilate one of my eyes to figure out if the tiny little blob was a problem or just a floater. It's a floater, that I haven't noticed, so that's good. Just got my receipt and I see they charged me AGAIN for the visit, so once they get back from lunch I will have them give me a credit for that. I thought we were just doing the charge for the glasses but the gal who did the glasses was different from the gal who did the office visit.
I am totally off on my routines, haven't even had coffee -- which is brewing! I did read the paper, so now I need to clear email and twitter, catch up on my games and then figure out what I want to accomplish for the day.
