Thursday's Misson
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's Errand Day, I don't have any, AND time to de-clutter under the kitchen sink, get rid of empties, and re-org/re-order needed supplies.

I took out the newspapers, kitty poop, old kitty food, and some trash this morning. Then I watered the geranium and refilled the kitty water bucket.

Time for the newspaper and some yogurt.

Got the dishwasher unloaded and stuff put away, dumped some more ice and refilled the trays, got thru email and twitter then installed the updates on my computer.

I pruned a couple of indoor plants and got thru the newspaper, LOL.

Now I am playing some computer games until dinner time. I am going down because I want to sit in the AC for a bit, plus I apparently have a package at the mailboxes, LOL.

Oh and I rode my bike!

Refilled all the water bottles, I was down to only a couple, don't know how I let that happen with this heat Spike.

Apparently that is what we are calling it now, there must be a time limit to make it a heatwave, LOL.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's Clean your purse and car day PLUS a final task in the kitchen -- THE FREEZER! Grab a bag and toss those open boxes, the empty ice cream containers, the old whipped toppings, and the unidentifiable items that are covered in freezer burn.

Not sure what is first on my list, oh, I need to do a Safeway order and get rid of some boxes and other general things.

First some yogurt and the newspaper.

Got email and twitter cleared, Pet Express and Chewy boxes emptied and dealt with, Safeway came - got that handled and I have started to get ready for Housekeeping tomorrow.

I think I am first up but I don't know what time that means, LOL. Guess I am going to have to get up at 7.30am and get the kitchen ready and make my coffee since that is where she starts.

I can always get the rest of the house done while she is in the kitchen, although I will be moving some of the kitty toys, etc, in the living room tonight.

Saturday's -- It's Goof Off Day ---

LOL, I have housekeeping. No idea when she might come and I think I am the first on the list but since this is a new plan who knows.

I have the kitchen, living room and BD done. ONly things left to do are the office things, I don't like to pick up the kitty water bucket and scratcher until I am sure she is here, and the bathroom litter box.

For now it's time for the newspaper and some yogurt.

Housekeeping came and went. I needed to clean those pan things that are under the burners on the stove and normally you just lift the burner and get the pan. But not my stove so I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to clean them. She showed me that the burners pull out, LOL, I have never had a stove where they do that.

Anyway she told me how she cleans hers and left mine soaking in the sink when she left. How looks great! It's been a month since I skipped last time.

I have a lot of the house back together already but my back is bugging me so I have just wanted to lay down since she got here.

Email and twitter done for now.

Sunday -- A day for reflection --

Not sure if any chores will be accomplished today, maybe just fun stuff. I did get the rest of the stuff off the balcony and back into place. Someone brought me aluminum cans, I asked them too, so I need to get my can bags set up properly on the balcony. Now they are just sitting on the floor behind the chair, LOL.

Also have $5 Bingo today so looking forward to that.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's Home Blessing Day AND next up is the Bathroom and an extra room. Today we do a 27 fling boogie in the bathroom! Get rid of those shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, etc., then do the same to the guest room/office, whatever is your extra room.

So far I haven't done much, just some litter box cleaning and cleaning up the kitty food and loading the dishwasher.

Got the balcony opened up since tomorrow we will be shut down for the "Heat Spike". Been working on email and computer games.

I did win a couple of games of bingo yesterday, made $6.25 - had to split some of the pots - but I made back my investment and a small profit, LOL.

Back to email, twitter and tvch.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's planning day and time to clean the tub and showers, plus in the guest room how long has it been since the sheets were changed?

I am going to work on email and twitter. Yesterday I made an appointment for Sylvester's checkup in July, watered some plants - but i need to water some more, it is going to be hot today.

Off to grab some yogurt and the newspaper.

Dishwasher is running and showered and hair up in my new curlers. We shall see how that works, it wasn't that I needed new curlers I just didn't have enough so had to buy and additional set. Now all the big ones are in a pack to go up on the free table.

I am thinking about moving my kitty food to the pantry shelves instead of the small cabinet by the stove. I can switch the spices back into it and then I can see the different cans better. But I need a shelf to maximize the space.

Off to google and purchase!

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's Anti-procrastination Day -- I am writing a difficult email that I have been avoiding -- AND
the Bathroom Mission is to wash your bathroom rugs, shower curtains and accessories. Then for the guest room or other extra room get your feather duster and get the cobwebs out of the corners!

I got the dishwasher unloaded and yesterday moved the bag of cans I was given to the balcony, that was when I realized it was like a furnace out there, LOL. BUT I discovered the platic bags had leaked cola onto the floor so I did some spot mopping.

I got my Walmart order which contained a shelving unit so I can move the kitty foods into the pantry shelves, I will be able to see practically 100 different cans of food I have for Sylvester, LOL. And get the extras off my counter.

So my goals for the day are ... email, bike, assemble shelving unit and redo kitty food in pantry (which does involve moving some existing pantry stuff to another spot.

For now, I need to go and grab my coffee and get started drafting my email.

Got my email done! Letting it percolate a little. I am hoping my lawyer friend will be able to take a look but she is currently in Florida braving the "storm" preparing to return to CA. Hopefully when she gets to the Airport hotel she can review it before she leaves tomorrow.

Now it's time to ride my bike, then do the shelf. I also forgot, I didn't get around to cleaning my one fan before the heat so I need to do that as well.

Bike is done, and I finished cleaning the fan, what an ordeal! and got it put back together. It's white again with no black kitty fur anywhere, LOL.

Time to see what the shelf is all about.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's Errand Day and time to take 10 minutes to toss old cosmetics and perfumes. If you have these items that you have not used for over a year.

I got the balcony opened up and swept the old leaves off, then arranged the can and bottle bags behind the chair.

Yesterday I got the shelf put together it was very easy although I will say the directions weren't very clear, LOL. I guess we don't use words anymore.

I reworked my rent reduction email and have it ready for my friend to review. She is finally on her way home from Florida but it will probably take all day. I think there are 2 planes involved. Oh, I should go check the weather channel to see what is happening in Texas, they were in the flood area of Florida, LOL.

Today I don't have to go anywhere, I can stay in my apartment and just enjoy the day!! I need to water plants and order a prescription refill and the big chore for the day will be to take everything out of the pantry and redo the kitty food shelves!

For now off to grab the newspaper, start some coffee and get some yogurt.

Cleaned up the kitchen and got the shelf into the pantry. Darnit, I didn't realize the distance between the shelves wasn't the same. I can still use it on the one shelf but I had wanted to put it on the higher one since it was more eye level. Oh well, still works fine and that is the shelf I actually measured.

Time for coffee, games and email.

Fridays' Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420

It's clean the purse and car day PLUS grab some general purpose cleaner and shine those counter tops and bathroom sinks! Clear everything off the counter top and wipe them from side to side and top to bottom.

I realized I forgot to ride my bike yesterday, so I put it on my list for today. Just waiting for my Safeway delivery. Got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher loaded.

Off to read the paper and have some yogurt.

It's good to have friends who are lawyers, LOL. I sent here my rent reduction email and she changed it a lot. I thought I was clear but she made it "clearer". Anyway that is done and off my mind so the worst thing that can happen is they say no.

Working on email and twitter while trying to get caught up on my computer games.

I need to water some outdoor plants and work on my pantry project. I got my Safeway order and I don't like their new changes! I indicated my substitution preferences and they don't seem to notice them. I got a substitution I didn't want! Didn't even realize it until I finally got my receipt! Which was a couple of hours after the delivery. I did do their survey, and indicated that I didn't like not having Safeway Employee delivery persons since now I have to tip. Next survey I will mention the substitutions and not getting a receipt with my order.

Oh well off to continue working on email and twitter.

Email done and I have been working on restocking my pantry shelves with the kitty food.

Went out for Bingo, won once, had a bunch of fun, gave away some chocolate bars and I had ordered 4 ears of corn and got 7, so I gave 3 of those away.

Also working on twitter.

Saturday ... It's a play day ...

All I have on my list for the day is to get my pantry redone. I have cans of food all over the place.

So far I have just cleaned kitty boxes and cleaned up the kitchen. Now I am working on email and twitter.

So last night I was thinking I could redo the shelves on my new shelving unit and get a better use from them. At first I was thinking I could just flip it over but it occurred to me that the shelves would then fall out since they aren't' secured with screws but just wedged into the side holders.

So today I took them off and put one on the very bottom, and shifted the other 2 shelves down so now I have 3 good size shelves for the kitty food. Next up to sort all the different foods and then put them away.

Restocked my daily pills and finished up the email, off to twitter. OH and I got notification today that Sylvester's pills will be here on Monday!

Sunday ... Happy Fathers Day ...

Working on email and I ordered a pizza delivery. Wasn't interested in the Brunch menu today and I have been wanting a pizza.

So my goal for the day is to get the Cat Food contained into it's new place. I did order a Chewy delivery, so I need to be ready when that gets here.

Off to finish email and then do twitter.

Ok, email is done, that took forever, LOL! I did forget to mention that I got the dishwasher running this morning.

And my pizza came! I forgot how yummy it is. Have enough leftovers for a few days! Need to wrap up the extras.

Off to the kitchen and then twitter.
