YEAH!! Laundry is done, at least the load I had planned, LOL. For some reason the dryer didn't get them dry but I have the towels and jammies laying around to finish drying and the tops and pants have been hung in the closet to dry.
In the meantime I got the minutes done, I just needed to reformat and add a few things. And I got the Newsletter done. Everyone got me their contributions early so that is ready to go unless we end up with some more content submissions. I do have room for on more page since we are up to 3 pages this time.
Now I need to finish the newspaper and some computer games and then .... Bingo at 7, hahahaha.

Working on email now, we are going to Back Forty for a good burger!! They have great ones, and then a few errands ... kitty grass for me and the bank for my friend - she needs cash for her travels.
ONce I get home I will have to decide what chores, if any, I decide to do. I really do need to work in the bedroom. I noticed one of the kitty blankets was massively covered in fur, so I need to pull that out and clean it, plus I need to detail the fan since it will be in use soon.
Off to work on email and twitter.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand day AND time to clean out the sofa cushions. I have an eye doctor appointment to fix my new glasses. The prescription is perfect for my right eye, but totally wrong for the left. They cost too much for them not to be perfect.
I got the balcony opened up and the dishwasher loaded and running. When I get back I need to do some Safeway and Chewy orders, plus move some money and water the plants since it is going to be hot today!
Off to finish getting ready and then the email and twiter.

Glasses corrected. I find it interesting that the doctor didn't have anything to say about why they were not right the first time, but then I didn't ask either. Just told her the problem and she did several things to correct the problem.
Got the new calendar when I got home and there seems to be some issues, I wish Marnee would let me proof it for her! I will suggest that to her. Got everything logged onto my calendar, they changed my housekeeping to Saturday which is fine by me.
Got my Safeway order done, trying some Fancy Feast foods for Sylvester since they are smaller cans so maybe we won't waste so much food. It's coming tonight.
So now time to catch up on my normal routine -- ride the bike, computer games, email, unload the dishwasher, twitter. And the newspapers just got delivered so that will be later.

Dustbusted the bathroom rugs and then I noticed one of my containers for hair stuff had some sort of film across the top, so I scrubbed that down.
Next I watered the outside and inside plants, it really is hot outside, but nice and cool inside. My changing the blinds really helped keep the heat out of the house.
Got thru twitter since most of it is focused on one subject, LOL.

Got the kitchen cleaned up and my paper got delivered, we have been having problems lately. Did an Amazon order - I wanted some Crizal, the eyeglass cleaner that you used to get when you bought new glasses, but my eye doc has been out! Anyway, got that and figured out a few other things to order so I didn't have to pay shipping.
Working on email and twitter, then off to Dime Bingo.

I won one game, which is more than enough, came close lots of times - that is annoying.
Then I cleaned the toilet and dustbusted the office and living room areas where "kitty grass" containers had been thrown and spilled.
Now I will be off to Moose Lodge Bingo!

Saturday ... It's have fun or goof off day.
Had mostly a good time at the Moose Lodge, I did put in an application, a later altercation made me consider pulling it, but that got worked out and I documented everything elsewhere.
Last time I won 4 games, this time I was close a few times but only finally won $50 at blackout.
Mary won twice and Don won once, they had to share their prizes.
Even though I just want to kind of veg and rest, I did dust my one nightstand and do a quick detail dust of my linen cabinet/shelf.
Brewed some coffee and my paper did come!!! So now it's time for that. But first off to check email,

Sunday .. A day of thankfulness AND Happy PRIDE!!
Got the paper and some yogurt, cleared a bit of email, it's $5 Bingo day!!
I feel better today, not as sore from my fall, but I do have nicely bruised elbow and butt, plus I did find a sore spot on my head! I didn't think I had hit my head but others at the event said they saw me and were concerned about it.
My elbow is the problem, LOL, do you know how many times you use your elbow to prop up or move around when you are in bed! And I have to be careful how I place it when I am working at my desk.
OH and I think we may have had a mouse visitation on the balcony. When I opened it up the kitties were sniffing all over places they don't normally go, LOL.
Off to read the paper.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND Zone 2 - Front Porch, Dining Room and Entrance spend 15 minutes getting rid of the pile of shoes by the front door, the pile of junk mail, magazines and school papers piled on the dining room table.
I am going to spend my time in the bedroom and cleaning my fans. We are having a heatwave for the next 3 days, so they need to be ready to go.
I did clean up the kitchen and probably need to dustbust kitty rugs in the bathroom, LOL. Did an order with Chewy and trying to catch up on email, twitter and my normal games.

LOL, Juju, I alluded to it with my comment about an altercation at the Moose Lodge on Friday. It has taken me a bit of time to sort of resolve what happened in my mind.
I handed over a twenty and said, 2 wines from this $20; got those but it was wierd and there was some conversation, other people were sort of yelling at the "new" bartender because he was changing the rules about getting drinks for Bingo and other stuff related to that. Basically he was trying to manage to many things at the same time. So then I ordered my margarita and got that with my $20, asked for the change from the first $20 at which time the Bartender got a bit verbally abusive about how I had only given him one $20. All of a sudden he exploded, said I was being disruptive, threw my drink into the sink and told me to get out. It was sort of shocking and in retrospect I wonder why no one sitting at the bar intervened.
Anyway, I said No I wasn't leaving, and gave him back the $3 in change I had and said give me back my $20, I turned to leave the bar and I felt the bar stool slide out from under me and the next thing I was on the floor.
Still don't really understand how I fell, I have been thinking about it, because I don't fall. As I have thought about it I it occurred to me that maybe someone thought they were helping me and pulled the stool out so I could get away from the crazy person. And due to all the chaos I wasn't ready so it threw my balance off.
I really smacked my elbow, it is bruised, I have two bruises on my butt and I found a sore spot on my head. Apparently many were concerned about me hitting my head but I didn't notice that and felt like my ponytail protected me from hitting it hard.
Now I think I was a little dazed, but I was determined to play BINGO, I wasn't letting that jerk run me off. Plus I had just filed out an application to join, LOL.
I went back to the Bingo area, which is open to the public and the event was open to the public, told my friend about it. I played Bingo, won $50 and came home.
I got a call the next morning and apparently there were other incidents, the bartender was drunk and wasn't supposed to have been drinking (apparently a Moose Rule), wasn't allowed to make decisions about kicking me out because he was drinking (another Moose rule). Oh I forgot to mention he is the new President!!
Anyway later he did get pulled from the bar for other problems, I was gone by then. And my friend did clarify with the VP that I had 2 $20's. And some apologies have been given.
I didn't pull my application for membership, I am going to wait until the next Bingo games, July 26, to see what I think.
I started thinking that I now don't feel safe there but I do think that is coming from my brain trying to comprehend what happened and mixing up the yelling and chaos, with the fall. I know better but it "feels" like the bartender gave me a shove (I know that isn't true and is impossible, just think my brain is linking it that way) So we shall see, I am keeping an open mind and we shall see if the actual perpetrator apologizes for his stupid behavior.
I am feeling fine, took Saturday as a rest day, I did ice my elbow and it feels pretty good today.
I did write everything down that night, so I have a record in case I need it for anything.
So that's my story!

But first ... it's Bingo time!

Good grief, cleaning that fan was a chore. It has all these little vent things, I ended up getting a knife to wrap around the rag to shove in between each one. There were 60 of them! I was amazed how much dust came out!
Checking twitter, then off to finish the newspaper and play some computer games.

I would agree Juju, but "everyone likes him"; I asked why do they like him - didn't really get a good answer, and maybe he was fun and entreating before he became President. I do think he was overwhelmed, filling in behind the bar and everyone was yelling at him. Plus maybe he was upset he didn't get to play bingo, he normally played.
Unfortunately I think they just put him in office a few months ago.
If they approve my membership and I accept, I am going to ask to see a copy of the bylaws, LOL. AND NO, I am not going to run for President but I did ask my friend if they have thought of having a female President and she said they are working on it.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Finally getting started here. It's Planning Day, Menu planning, Activities planning, Date Night and Family, Fun Time planning, Wardrobe planning AND we have moved to the Kitchen. Today spend 15 minutes cleaning/decluttering a shelf in your pantry.
Since it is going to be so hot here today I already made my pasta salad, just letting it cool a bit before I mix it all together and put it in the fridge. I ran the recycling out and I set up my bedroom fan and got it running.
I will probably just do "sitting" things today since I don't like to run the AC. And I have Bingo at 7pm!
Off to clear email and twitter.

Email and twitter done, pasta salad in the fridge getting cold and I road my bike.
Next up is to clean the "white" fan I use in the living room, it's not looking that white, LOL.
Both kitties were out laying on the milk cartons but all of a sudden they both came in so I guess it must have gotten hot.
I need to go and read the paper.

Good meeting, but they keep trying to get the Residents to run everything. I don't want resident run stuff, but then again, when I want to do stuff I just do it, I don't need a bunch of people to join me, LOL.
Now I am getting caught up on email, twitter and a couple of packages that came.
I was going to clean my other fan but since it is going up to 101 today, I am just going to set it up and clean it this weekend.
So far the fans are keeping it cool enough that I don't have to run the AC.
Off to email.

Took forever to get thru twitter, since the trial is finally done people are talking about other stuff, LOL.
It occurred to me that I might need some ice in the coming days so I am working on dumping my ice into the container and making more ice. Haven't used any ice in a long time!
