Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Anti-procrastination day AND now time to wash your bathroom rugs, shower curtains and accessories.
I got the kitchen cleaned up, old catfood handled, unloaded the dishwasher and then I wrangled the cans!
Sylvester crawled under my hutch and found $3, LOL, I figure they must have fallen out of my pocket while I was riding my bike, so then I rode my bike.
Now working on email and twitter, plus I need to deal with a few more things on my list. Oh, there was an article in the paper that had a few tips for seniors so I started the November Newsletter and I texted my sister to see if we can get rid of the cans this weekend.

Yeah, my set up for AMX to grab money out of my brokerage account final set up! I don't know why they hide things on the website. I needed to determine the deposit test amounts so I looked at the cash account, searched for where are deposits, finally had to go to chat. They were in History!!! How ridiculous is that, LOL.
Got the vacuum and mop out of the closet for my master project (the deep clean of the kitty condo corner); and I printed off the labels for my boxes to go up in the closet.
Oh and my sister is coming this Saturday to get rid of the cans, so excited about that.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND For the bathroom today, take 10 minutes to toss old cosmetics and perfumes and sweep or vacuum the guest room.
I think I will concentrate on my sample ballot and dealing with the pile of mail. Then figure out what else I want to do.
Off to read the paper and have some yogurt.

Got thru thee paper and a few computer games, then I dealt with my mail and spent a bit of time researching a couple of local candidates. I don't want to put a secret "book burner" on any of the local government groups.
Ballot is done, wrote down my votes and kept a copy for the 5th. I always forget which way I voted on the propositions.
Then I cleaned up the kitchen and brewed the coffee, got the dishwasher loaded up and refilled all the water bottles.
Now I am working on email, twitter and tvch.
Looking forward to CBS night -- Matlock and Elsbeth.

Email done, twitter done, tvch done and I hauled all thee bags of cans in from the balcony and swept the balcony. It looks great and I have 4 1/2 bags of cans and bottles!
I did move the step stool to the closet so I can work in there next.
Changed out the table runner to the fall autumn leaves one and I grabbed the bag with the comforter and pillows out of the closet so I could get it ready to go on Saturday. Just need to grab the old cat litter I got when it was an emergency. I don't really like it but at the time it was the only thing I could get delivered that day. Anyway, sending it to the animal shelters along with the comforter. Now I need to figure out which decorative pillows to keep and which to put on the free table.
I have been noticing that I wish I had a couple of pillows in my bedroom, so I will put a couple there.
Off to take another run at twitter.

Saturday ** A day of relaxing and fun **
Had a great time at Bingo last night but none of us won, there were about 40 people there which was great! Excellent cocktails and fun people.
Today I was supposed to get rid of my cans but sister had got a cortisone shot yesterday and wasn't feeling up to it. So the kitties will enjoy the "can jungle" in the living room til next week. I probably need to move it around a bit so I can get to my project in the corner.
Going to Back Forty tonight for steak and ribs, so that will be fun!
For now I am off to read the paper and have some yogurt.

Paper done, cleaned up the kitchen a bit, took out some trash and recycling. Then I got my new compost bin unpacked so I can deal with the old kitty food more efficiently. It hangs on the cabinet door below the sink so I can scrape and then rinse and load the dishwasher.
Then I was able to use that box to package up the phone stuff so I can put the boxes away in the closet. I printed off the labels to tape to the boxes.
So now I can wrangle some more cans that got dropped off, take out the boxes and the big bag of trash to the bins.
Finally I got my tablet re-charged so I can do my lazyfit and bike rides,

Kitchen trash out along with the broken down boxes, then I took some tape out to secure the "trash here" sign that had fallen off the chute.
Now I am trying to download the new Lazyfit app and charging my watch.
I also got the boxes labeled and put away in the closet with the phones and modems.
Might be time for chores to be over, LOL>

Had a fabulous dinner at Back Forty last night, got the Cowboy Steak with a baked potato ... I think I have leftover steak for 4 meals, LOL.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Home Blessing Day AND spend 15 minutes getting rid of anything that does not belong in your bedroom.
I cleaned up the kitchen, I love my new compost bin - it works great for the old catfood. Then I loaded up the dishwasher and got it going.
Ordered another elevated plate for Sylvester and then got some more small plates. Also ordered some new kitty grass which gets here later today.
Now working on clearing email, twitter and tvch.

Oh and as I was working on my laptop all of a sudden the screen filled saying I had a trojan horse and I was infecting my files and microsoft!!
I couldn't get the cursor to move and everytime I tried it said don't shut down your computer call this number, 888 ...
So I ctrl-alt-delete and signed off. Then I signed back on and set everything up. Checked my Malwarebytes and looked up the microsoft phone number.
Hahahaha, all things were wrong, but it was very startling.

We have all gotten spoiled by these newer computers and browsers and automatic protections that come with them.
In the old days, we had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del ALL the time, and now we have been spoiled and have to think really hard to figure out what to do. OR - we are all just 10-15 years older than we were in the old days.

Tuesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's planning day AND its time to attack the clothes pile. Now you all know what I am talking about. This pile is either on a chair, on top of the hamper, dresser or at the foot of your bed. Set your timer for 15 minutes and grab some hangers or start folding.
I started in the kitchen by starting the coffee and finished unloading the dishwasher.
Then I did updated some tvch and now working on email and twitter.
Oh and having some yogurt trying to work in the newspaper, LOL.

Got thru email and my amazon package came. Love the new plates I got for Sylvester and I got 2 more raised food plates. That way he can have more than one option since I have seen him going back to the earlier food to finish it off.
The plates are so cute and exactly what I wanted. Time to get thru twitter!!

It's Anti*Procrastination Day AND time to straighten up the floor of your closet!
I already got the kitchen cleaned up, changed out the bag in the compost bin so that trash is ready to go out. I seem to have accumlated a bunch of trash that needs to go, LOL.
We have Town Hall meeting today and they will be announcing changes to our food plan. It should be interesting ... On the way I am taking some trash and afterward will take out the rest and start the rest of my chores.
I already dustbusted the bathroom and did some spot mopping of the floor. Then I cleaned the hairspray buildup off my glasses.
Now off to do a little email and twitter.

Good Town Hall meeting, I swear I don't know what "shelter in place" is so hard for some to understand, LOL. They did announce that we are having a 2.5% rent increase and that the Sodexo Company is who will take on the culinary services here. They anticipate the transition to start in December and be in place in January. From what I understand you place an order and then pick it up or have it delivered to your table.
Supposedly this will give us all day dining options, it's unclear if they will continue with set dinner dining. I am waiting to see how it goes.
Now back to my chores, email, trash, twitter, etc.

Email is done, twitter done for the first pass, refilled water bottles and loaded up the dishwasher.
Also took out some more trash and boxes to the bins. When I went out I found two more box deliveries! I swear I can't get rid of all the boxes, hahahahaha.
Although I think I only have one more thing ordered that hasn't arrived.

WOW ... $5 Bingo tonight and I won 3 games! Took home $18. Amazing. I haven't been winning much at dime bingo so this was a surprise!
And tomorrow is a quiet day for me! No bingo, and probably not going out of the house all day except maybe to the trash, LOL.
Off to get ready for The Summit.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day AND time to clean off the nightstands! Get the tissues, cups and stuff that has piled up, toss and put away. Then grab a feather duster or dust rag and dust the surface.
I reading the paper and catching up on the news when I had a knock on my door. The Maintenance guy is here to install my "pigeon netting". The netting that my sister and I had put up was looking pretty ratty and it was on my list to follow up on today.
It looks so nice now! And then I swept the balcony and watered the plants. Too funny, he had to get the electric power stapler because the wood was so hard - no wonder we had such a hard time getting the netting to stay up on the edges.
I have cleaned the kitchen and dumped the old catfood. I also moved some more cans over the the mountain in the living room, LOL. Can't wait til Saturday when we get rid of them all.
Off to work on email and enjoy my coffee.

Saturday .. A Day for Fun
Busy day for me. Sister and I are taking the mountain of cans / bottles to the recycle center, then off to breakfast!
I opened the door to grab the paper and found a big bag of cans hanging on it, LOL. So I will be happy to get them out of the living room.
Then Housekeeping will be here after 12:30, so that gives me time to get the house ready.
Then I can relax for the rest of the day. I have the dishwasher running, the kitchen is cleaned up and paid my Kaiser bill. Probably should think about the first of the month bills but I might just goof off.

Cans were recycled ... we got $50!! I was so surprised but it was a mountain in my living room, LOL.
Had a great breakfast and got back home after some young girl had a bit of road rage in the Urban Air parking lot and yelled "old c-word" at us for honking at her. We laughed as she scolded for honking because she wasn't moving and said I won't move and now you are stuck, we both smiled and said OK, and picked up our drinks and sipped them, then she got mad and called us the c word. It was funny since she was the problem and had blocked us twice before. We just wanted her to move her car to wherever she was going. This guy was in another car that she had blocked and he looked at us smiling and shaking his head.
So then we got home and finished up the chores for sister which was mostly taking things to goodwill or her home or the Pet Shelter. I started getting everything off the floor so Housekeeping could occur.
That happened around 12.30 and I have been working on getting the house back together. Mostly that is done but I am tired, want a nap, LOL.
And some movie on TV that is not a Christmas one!

Sunday .. a day for reflection and peace ...
So far just reading the Sunday paper and enjoying the day.
Got the dishwasher unloaded and the kitchen neatened. Have $5 Bingo today but probably won't win since I won so much last time, LOL.
Then Chinese dinner with my friend, although that might change depending on how her petsitting goes.
