LazyFit done, shower done, hair up in curlers done, LOL. So now I can get back to the other things I haven't done yet. Got thru my first run at email, now I will go back and deal with the ones that require action.
Dustbusted the bathroom litter rug, like to get that before the shower water might hit it, so back to email. Got Taran going and off to twitter as well.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND time for a detailed vacuuming session. This means to vacuum the room, making sure to get up against the baseboards and to get under the furniture.
I cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned the old food out of the fridge, got the dishwasher going and took out the yucky old foods to the trash.
I decided I need to drink more water and less soda! I used to drink one liter of water to one can of soda and have gotten out of that habit. So I refilled all the water bottles and grabbed an extra one to start the day.
Finished up my Taran Podcast so it's time to catch up everything else. Off to clear my email.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Clean Your Purse and Car Day AND time to review the living room knick-knacks and decorative items. Are there too many? should you declutter any of these? It really does make dusting so much easier when you don't have that many! LOL I have all mine in a closed hutch so I don't have to dust them very often.
Just getting started on email and right away I find that I may be a claimant in a class action suit for Real Estate commissions! So I filed a claim, I was annoyed at having to pay $15000 for a realtor that really didn't do anything and sold my home to a co-worker who took a commission as the buying agent! Maybe I get some money back. But I had to track down all the documents and I was just thinking about deleting that folder from my email!!!!
I got the kitchen cleaned up and unloaded the dishwasher. Also got the new kitty food from Chewy put away and the box ready to go to the recycle bin.
So now back to clearing all the regular email and listening to Taran's update.

Saturday .. Finally a day to play ...
Cleaned up the kitchen, got my first run thru email done. Tracked down a couple of Big Brother posts and am getting ready to make a Safeway order.
Not sure what is up for the day, maybe nothing, LOL. No bingo today and it's the end of the month. Checking to make sure I paid Kaiser, LOL, yep I did. All other bills scheduled to be paid on time.
I went to purchase some mascara that I love on QVC and they had a $50 off if you apply for the QVC credit card. That sounded great, my purchase would have been free. Went over and started the process and I got the the apr .... 34.9%. Holy cow, cancelled that application right away! I was shocked.
Back to checking email and twitter!

Sunday ... a day for fun and relaxation ...
So my Safeway delivery came at the crack of dawn, well not really but at 8am. They are never on time and I am never the first delivery of the day but I guess I was today. I got all the cold stuff put away and crawled back into bed, LOL.
Then I had planned to go to lunch with my friend since I didn't like the brunch options so left around noon.
The house was a mess, Safeway order in the kitchen, old kitty food stacked in the sink, several plates of new food since Sylvester turned out the first 2 servings!
When I returned I was able to join in a part of the $5Bingo, didn't win anything but had a fun time.
Now I just finished cleaning up the old kitty food then took out the newspapers, bad kitty food, trash and litter to the bins.
Cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwaher loaded, put away all the rest of the safeway order and now only have one thing on my list .... take the cans to the balcony.
Can't do that because the kitties are sleeping out there, don't want to disturb the naps.
So now it's time to review email and twitter, get ready for the BB show.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Planning Day and time to sweep off your front porch, shake out your door mats and wipe down your front door.
Got a late start today because I woke up at 6am with a stomach ache, no clue what that was about, felt like I was going to throw up. So I tried all the things and started to feel a bit better, checked my temp, it was normal, then eventually fell back asleep and woke up around 11 feeling back to normal.
This happened once before so I am going to see if I can find it in my food journal. The only thing I had was some banana nut mini muffins / Fritos and milk while I watched the Anonymous at 11 to 12.
Anyway I am up and at it. Sylvester is having some trouble jumping up on things, I noticed it the other day and have been trying to see if that was just a one time thing, it wasn't. So I rearranged the kitchen a bit so he will use the step stool to get to his food. Need to research if there is something I can give him for his "arthritis".
Might bee going to dinner with friends tonight, Mexican at one of my favorite places. So got my shower in and my hair up in curlers.
So now I can get to my chores! Time for email, twitter, tvch, coffee, computer games, LOL.

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to Take 15 minutes and de-clutter the dining room.
I bagged up all the old kitty food and took it and the recycling out to the bins. Then took all thee cans out to the balcony, used the old kitty water to water a plant and filled the watering pail to do the rest of the plants inside and out.
Annoyed to see some cans leaked out of the plastic bags so I need to do a little spot mop.
Also got the dishwasher unloaded and most put away, just letting the glassware dry.
Many things still on the list but I am trying to decide if I need to turn on the AC or just go with the fans. It doesn't feel that warm inside, definitely is out on the balcony!
Last night was fun, had a great Mexican dinner and then hit the bank, so my funds are replenished. I do need to start working on what gift I am going to send to these people that won't let me pay my share at dinner. There are two of them, both men, so I it finally occurred to me I could send them a big basket of something.
For now I am going to cool off a bit from thee chores I did, clear some email and twitter. Then decide on thee AC.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND grab a feather dusters and dust off the leaves on our house plants and give them a drink of water! pull of some of the dead leaves and blooms, or just dust your artificial plants, if you have those.
I don't think I have seen this mission before, LOL but I watered plants yesterday.
Today I don't have to go anywhere, no bingo, I can have my dinner delivered, and it's going to be our hottest day so I may remain in my jammies!!
For now I have the newspaper, some yogurt and Taran's podcast.
OH, no AC yesterday but maybe today. And I played $5 Bingo last night and won $7.

Redid the comforter I have on my sofa. I needed a cover because when you sit on it, it was too low, so I added some cushions that were leftover from some balcony furniture. Clearly they wouldn't match the sofa so I put a comforter over it. But this time I folded it properly so it looks better.
It's been on my list for a while! Finished clearing email, need to go and deal with twitter.

Most of my chores for today involve finalizing the minutes and newsletter for the RC. I do need to deal with the cans and take out some chewy boxes.
For now time for some yogurt, no paper yet.

Got the coffee going, moved the LR scratchers onto the chairs, and the rollie out to the balcony. So I guess I am ready for housekeeping. All the things that still need to be picked up happen when she gets here ... the stuff the kitties need, water, litter box, etc.
They had good news at TK, all the kittens tested negative so they have "re-united" the two groups that had to be separated. It is pretty funny since they sort-of remember each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCCy4UDqQlo
Time to grab the coffee, clear email and twitter and figure out what is going on for the day.

Great Brunch .. we had Sangria's! Then I won at Bingo - $9 AND holy cow! I met with the Director to go over a few things and she told me the Brand NEW Secretary of the Resident Council had died!
It's so funny because just last night I was thinking I hadn't seen her around and she hadn't responded to my emials so I was planning to ask at Bingo if anyone had seen her. Apparently it was unexpected, but I remember she had a fall not to long ago and I wonder if that contributed.
Sooooo, guess I will ask the VP to run the next meeting and I will keep notes. And thank goodness The Director let me know since I was going to add the secretary announcement to the Agenda. Not sure what I am going to say now! Hopefully her family will announce it so I can say something at the meeting.
Now off to finish the Sunday paper and play some games.

Finally, the internet is back!! AND I spent a good hour trying to set up a Xfinity HotSpot which never worked, LOL. They have some serious problems with their website connected to that service, which I told the agent about, every link on it goes to a "not working" site. And when I called the phone number I was given for the service it said there was no phone service and I had to go to chat at a website that didn't work!

It's Planning Day AND time to clean the silverware holder and the drawer that holds it.
So while wasting my time on the phone with Comcast I did clean up the kitchen, dumped the old kitty food, loaded the dishwasher and refilled water bottles. And I made some coffee.
Then I opened up all the blinds!!!! They had been closed to help keep the heat from the sun out. It's so nice to look out at the trees and sky. I also took the staplegun out and fixed the netting I have up. One side keeps coming down. Maybe I will ask for new netting for Christmas, LOL. I still need to take the step stool out there so I can get to the top corners but I have a ton of other chores that have been delayed because the internet was out.
I need to do a Chewy order, I was wondering if there was a way to call one in earlier! And a Safeway order, and I need to finish the minutes/agenda and email those out, plus finish the newsletter, clear my email, listen to Taran and check twitter.
It really throws off my day when I can't start clearing email by 8.30!
Off to get started.
