Got my Chewy order done, wanted to get it done quickly in case the internet goes out again! Got thru email, decided to skip Taran since I don't really care about BB that much and went directly to my DayDrinking Podcast from last Thursday.
I also tried on the new bras I ordered, I hate them so they have to be returned! This led to dusting the bookcase in the closet so I could refold my sweaters and put them away -- yeah I could maybe wear them soon, LOL. That led me to realize I need to go thru my ton of socks and get rid/give away some of them, so I added that task to my list.
Off to deal with twitter and finish listening to my podcast. Oh, I did add one more thing to the Newsletter, I just need to research how to freeze your credit so I can add that, so maybe I will do that quickly and then twitter.

Safeway order done, researched credit freeze - that is pretty easy, then I sent the draft September Agenda off to be proofed.
Managed to work most of my computer games into the chores but now it is time to check twitter ... LOL, I am scared - it's debate night.

I swear there is some sort of disturbance in the force!!
So many werid things have been happening. My Safeway order came and they left it on the porch of the complex!!! So now I am going to have to put instructions that say, open the door to the lobby and come inside for directions to my unit.
The safeway customer service tried to tell me that Door Dash doesnt come inside! I explained I have food delivery all the time and have had multiple Safeway delivieries TO MY DOOR! Safeway needs to make sure the drivers they use can understand how to deliver.
The only thing she offered was to take the guy's tip. I felt bad about that, I think they should have given me back my delivery fee instead. I mean he did drive it over here he just left it in the wrong place!
So weird, I got a call from the front desk asking if I was expecting a delivery and I said yes and they indicated it was left outside the front door. I was astounded, so I went to check my email and sure enough there is a picture of it sitting on the porch.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND time to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.
I have lab and doctor appointments so am heading out at 9am! Which is way to early for my 10.20 Lab appointment, but that is when the shuttle is going. Probably means there are going to be 7 people! They really don't seem to know how to schedule the shuttle properly but I think that is because of the driver. She doesn't seem to like to do multiple trips, like she should take one at 9 and one at 9.30 or 9.45, but she is older and I think she needs to retire, LOL.
I will be at Kaiser for a while so I am taking the paper, crossword puzzles, a book and my small tablet. I figure I will be there till around noon.
Then maybe this afternoon I will FINALLY get the mattress rotated and the new sheets!

Doctor done!! Heart is good, lungs are good, first blood pressure check was good -- normally it's high and I have to have the doctor take it later. Asked all my questions and got a referral for a sleep test. I have felt tired all the time so I suspect I may not be sleeping well and I noticed that I would be dreaming and then wake up so I wondered if that meant I stopped breathing. We shall see.
So now I can get on with my normal morning chores, Email, Twitter, Taran, Computer games.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Clean your Car and Purse day AND spend 5 minutes and check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink.
So far I got the dishwasher unloaded, cleaned up the kitchen, stripped the blanket and other kitty items off the bed to take up to the laundry. Step 1 in rotating the mattress and changing the sheets.
I also took the bottles and cans back out to the balcony and dragged my chewy box into the house, LOL.
I need to run the stuff up to the laundry but when I checked it was a bit busy so I will try again in an hour. Meanwhile I will clear email, listen to Taran, check on twitter and do some of my computer games.
OH, my doctor told me to stop my "aspirin" protocol, I guess at age 70 the benefits change to detriments so I need to take the bottle I have down to Bingo and see if anyone wants it.

Got all the laundry done just in time for Bingo! I won blackout even though I didn't have my normal cards because I got down there just 10 minutes before it started and didn't have many cards to choose from. Only got one with my fav number, 54!
Anyway, then I had Mexican Food dinner, very yummy but suffering the effects of TOOOOO many margaritas. Usually there are four of use drinking them so I don't end up having as many, but last night only 2 of us were drinking them!
Knocked me right out when I got home and then woke up to pee a ton of times, LOL.

Saturday ... A day for Fun and Goofing Off.
Late start but got my coffee, cleaned up the kitchen and now starting on email, twitter, etc.
Had enough water and advil to deal with the "hangover". Haven't had one of those in years, but really it's only a headache and tiredness.
Off to deal with mail

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND we are in the main bathroom and another room this week. Grab a rag and some general purpose cleaner and wipe down the toilet from the bowl downward, the floor around the base and behind base.
ACCKKK I hate this one, LOL, but since it is a week before Housekeeping is coming I will look to see if I need to do this.
For now I am grabbing my yogurt, the newspaper, starting Taran and crawling back into bed.

Had fun at Bingo, one once and then got Blackout - the payout was $5.90!!
Got all caught up with email and twitter, didn't really get any chorees done was feeling a bit sore from yesterday.
The play was great but we did a lot of walking around, climbing stairs, etc, so it wore me out! I was gone from 11 to 6pm! But it was a good rendition of the play, I thought they could have cut the very first part down a bit, but my friend thought it provided background. I was thinking most people are familiar with the movie so the background stuff wasn't necessary.
So I did rest up a bit today since my back was bugging me and it really was "wintery", felt cold until the sun came out.
Back to chores tomorrow.

Cleaned out the old food in the fridge and the old kitty food, then took it all out to the trash. Got the dishes rinsed and loaded the dishwasher and it's running.
Made my coffee while all that was going on, so the kitchen has been cleaned up and now I can deal with computer stuff and then the mattress rotation.
I did get almost everything cleared off the bed and was able to use my feet to move it about an inch sideways so I have more room on my left nightstand.
Also on my list for today is to find my Ugg boots, I know I have them and I can't remember where I might have stashed them in the closet. I also need to change out my entrance decorations to at least fall garlands, although I saw on the long range weather report that we are having another heatwave the 21st -97 ACCK, to the 26th -90!!
Off to email and twitter and Taran.

Bedroom is a mess, but the mattress has been rotated and I had pulled the bed out from the wall AND !!!! wow there was cathair, and a few hair ties, emery board and a washcloth (I think that was from when I was sick and had a cool cloth on my head and then hung it on the headboard).
All ready for the sheets, and I did already change the pillowcases but I need a break, back to email.

Finally got thru email, went to do the sheets and Nala had commandeered the sheets for a nap, LOL.
Oh and when I found the mess behind the bed I got the dustbuster and my grabber to get all the stuff out and then "vac" the baseboards and carpet.
So I went searching for my Ugg boots, found them and that made me realize I need a little dustbusting in the closet too!
But first time to make a run thru twitter, then the closet.

LOL, Meal delivery knocked on door so Nala ran, I was able to get the sheets on the bed and the bed and bedroom back together.
Got thru twitter, haven't made it back to the closet yet, that may be a tomorrow job.
I have bingo at 7pm and I think I need a rest.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day ... I really must get to detail dusting my bookcases, lol AND look into the medicine cabinets and toss the empty bottles and boxes.
I have my list done which mostly involves dealing with the closet dusting, reorg, etc and the balcony -- wrangle the cans, pull the fall entrance decor and change the wreaths.
But first a quick look at email, feed the kitties, grab the paper and some yogurt. No bingo til 7pm!
Oh and I have to get my Lazyfit and bike ride back on track.

Dustbusted and spot mopped the bathroom. Closet is on the top of my list, but Nala has thwarted me once again. I finally figured out where she sneaks away to, it's the hidden kitty bed between the bookcase and shoe cady, hidden by the hanging raincoat, LOL. So I don't want to scare her away by cleaning.
I will move on to the balcony and new decor. But first I cleaned up thee kitchen, refilled water bottles and bought some new kitty grass.
Now I am off to email and twitter, done with Taran.

Dishwasher unloaded and put away, cans dealt with, watered the plants, and pulled the box of fall decor out. That made room for the cat carrier to fit in and get it off my balcony, so now I have more room for the bags of cans.
Then I fixed the netting on the corner, it keeps coming down, it may be time for some new netting, but I used the staple gun to re-attach it. The other side never comes down, I can't figure out why the left side keeps coming down.
Dustbusted the office litter rug, I need to get a new one it is looking a little wonky. And I purchased some new kitty grass for the kids.
I did manage to get thru all the email and have been working on twitter.

It's Errand Day AND time to scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe down with Windex (remember to be careful that you are not mixing Windex with any bleach products).
I have housekeeping tomorrow so won't be cleaning the bathroom, LOL. I did manage to get one task done that has been bothering me for months. I climbed up on my step stool and fixed the curtain that I have across my closet. When the whole thing fell down, I think last spring, the rod got put into place with a gap on the side I can see from my bed. So I FIXED it this morning, moved the rod so I could pull the curtain all the way over to that corner!!!!
I also got the Closet Re-orged. I needed the step stool to move some things around up on the top shelf, moved everything around so I could dustbust the baseboards and floor. Looks so much better now.
Got my new list together but first I need to get through email and twitter.

Took out the newspapers to recycling and on the way back took down the spring garland. Got that put away in a box and pulled out the Fall stuff. I have Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving "flags" that I post on the wall with the garland that is fall leaves, pumpkins, sparkly bats and pine cones, so I think I am covered. Just need to put on the calendar to remember to put the Spider and Witch decorations out in October!
Back to email and twitter.
