It's clean your purse and car day PLUS time to grab your broom to sweep and then mop the kitchen.
It's hot, I got the AC going and I am going back to be to read the paper and have some yogurt.

Working on email, got my eggs cooking for egg salad, switched out my Bingo bag. I wanted a more colorful one that is smaller than the Cinnaholic bag I was using, LOL.
Also doing a cost comparison of some things I need, advil / aspercreme / dry shampoo. I a curious if there is a price difference between Walgreens, Walmart and Safeway.
I need to update the Move-In Tips because they have changed the first seating start time to 4pm, I guess all the slow eaters are in this group so it delays second seating at 5.15, so they are starting it 15 minutes earlier.
Back to email.

Some sort of buzzer went off a couple of times and woke me up. I can only assume it was on the computer but can't figure out what it could have been.
Sylvester seems to believe that since I am up he should get to have some fresh food, LOL. So I opened a can.
Oh well, back to bed since it seems to have stopped.

Saturday ... A day to cool off, LOL ...
Temps have dropped considerably but we seem to have higher than normal humidity so I have watered all the outside plants, closed the house up and turned on the AC.
Got the kitchen all cleaned up and the dishwasher running. Made my list for the day.
I was planning on doing a load of laundry, thought that was all I had and when I went to grab the bag I realized I have 2 loads!!! So I resorted the laundry so the first load contains all the things I want and need now. The more "wintery" things can wait a week. And I changed out all the towels, so those can be done next week as well.
Off to clear email, have some coffee and get caught up.

Email is done. I went to check the washer availability and found my phone with the app needed to charge up! So now I am waiting to go up until I get it charged to at least 50%. Then I can start a load and finish charging it.
Finally got tired of fighting with my mouse so I plugged in the new Lilac one! Wow, it is so much faster, I need to go slow it down a bit. I keep shutting down stuff I didn't mean to, LOL.
off to settings.

Laundry is done. It has cooled off enough and there is a really good breeze/wind to open up the house and turn off the AC. The Kitties made a beeline to sit out on the balcony, LOL.
Feels so nice to have real air. I did take some stuff to put up on the Free Table, so that clears off a pile I was developing, LOL.
Twitter is done. Time for some computer games and Perry Mason.

It's HOme Blessing Day AND time to clean the cobwebs out of the bathroom, don't forget to dust the vents.
Not sure what I will do, started getting a sore throat last night, weird, and today feel pretty congested. Allergies? Cold? Some weird sickness... I was around 2 new people last night but they are just friends I haven't seen in a while and they weren't sick.
Grabbing some yogurt and going back to bed. Maybe take an allergy pill.

Not feeling better so I will try a different pill in a half hour. Hopeing some coffee and food might help.
While waiting for my coffee to brew I unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned out and reorged the fridge foods, made the egg salad and reloaded the dishwasher.
Then I cleaned up some kitty hairball off the step stool, hadn't noticed it before, LOL.
Now I am working on email while waiting for my Covid test to complete. I let my friends know that I won't be down for Bingo because I don't feel well and she asked that I take one so she feels ok about seeing her granddaughter tonight.

Covid test is negative, which I expected. I can't believe that the first time I leave the community in over a week, to meet with 2 people I go out with all the time, and that night I start feeling yucky.
I even gargled with Listerine last night because my throat was getting scratchy. So annoying.
Ordered my dinner delivery and I guess I will try a Benedryl tablet and go back to bed.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Planning Day AND grab a hot soapy rag and wash dirty spots off the door facings, switch plates and door knobs.
So funny, I noticed a door jam wasn't the same color as the rest in just the spot I grab in the middle of the night, LOL. I cleaned it and it looks normal again.
So far I have dustbusted the bathroom so I could take a shower. I was feeling all sweaty from this fever.
I am feeling better, the worst was last night when my fever hit 100.8! I am tired of being in bed so going to do some stuff for a while.
I have decided I have a cold -- congested head, nose is a bit runny, sometimes a cough and sore throat. What I thought was weird was having a fever, it's 98 right now (normally 96.9).
Anyway, I ran out of drugs, LOL, so just made an order with Walgreens, they are right up the street about 2 blocks away and will deliver before 2p today.
So now I am having some coffee, clearing email and getting caught up on computer games and twitter.

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Today is Anti-Procrastination Day -- I am working on the minutes I need to get out -- AND time to wipe down the front of the bathroom vanity.
I took out the old cat food and some recycling this morning and then cleaned up the kitchen.
Still have a cold, so annoying, and a tiny fever. It seems worse at night, so I will try some nighttime drugs tonight.
Now working on those minutes while I wait for my coffee to brew.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND think about anything you would like to change in your bathroom and then make a list of things you are running low on in the bathroom; Shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toothpaste.
I have a lot of little chores to do but first I need to read the paper and have some yogurt.

So happy this morning my temp was back to normal so I am doing some chores. I noticed I was hot and checked my temp and it is up, don't know if it just because I have actually been active, LOL.
I loaded up and started the dishwasher, refilled all the water bottles, I was done to just one! Then I gathered up all the trash I need to run out to the bins along with the newspapers and kitty poop. Will do that later after I cool off a bit.
For now, back to clearing email.

Its clean the Purse and Car day plus empty the bathroom trash cans and do the floors.
I am so behind. It occurred to me last night as I was FINALLY able to watch Big Brother that I hadn't even thought about getting the feeds. Need to decide on that.
For now I am getting thru my email and then twitter and maybe then I will be caught up.
I finally feel back to normal so I will be playing bingo at 2pm and going back to dinner tonight at early seating.
Off to emial.

Wanted some coffee so I got the dishwasher unloaded and straightened up the kitchen. It's time for Housekeeping tomorrow so I need to start clearing counters and things. Got all the cans out to the balcony yesterday and today I need to take out the boxes, then all the odd things will be cleared away.
Oh and I closed up the house and started the AC unit since we are headed to 100!
Oh, I need to unpack my chewy box. Off to email/twitter/computer games.

Saturday ... It's have fun day ....
Getting ready for Housekeeping. Made my coffee, dumped the old kitty food and old food from the fridge into the trash can - I love that she changes it!
Got the kitty scratcher condo up on the chair and the stuff out on the balcony, watered all the plants so it's time to close up and turn on the AC unit.
Only thing not done is the final stuff- bathroom litter box, office scratcher and sitting box. I put those on the sofa once she gets here!
Time to do email, twitter, Big Brother and games, then see where we are.
