Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Anti-Procrastination day AND time to today is to go through your makeup. Get rid of anything that is too old and not used. Old makeup can give you infections, especially eye liner, mascara, and eye shadow.
I am off to get my pedicure!

Excellent Pedicure, I got the fancy one with a salt scrub, the massage was so good and they have really good massage chairs, so my back got a nice rubbing as well.
Then I stopped at The Bistro and had some soup and and egg salad sandwich. Back home, brewed some coffee, refilled a kibble container and working on email.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day AND time to clean off the bed side tables. Get all the tissues, trash, books, and cups off of these and put them where they belong.
Got the balcony opened up, moved the rollie to the back and re-orged the cans/bottles so now we can all use it easily. Then cleaned up the kitchen a bit, dumped all the old cat food and started the coffee brewing.
Off to have some yogurt and read the paper.

Cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwasher going, refilled water bottles while the coffee brewed and then watered the inside plants.
Recently I noticed that one of the kitties had thrown up behind a chair in the living room. I never go over there but somehow noticed it, LOL. It's on my list to clean up. Mostly just dry kibble but I will need a bit of spot mopping so I have pulled out the chair - can't ignore it with the chair sitting in the middle of the living room.
Also went to put the bottles out on the balcony and change my winter wreath to a spring one but Nala is sleeping on the chair so I will wait till she comes in from her nap so I don't disturb her enjoying the sun.
Off to email and other stuff.

OMG, they lost my Dinner Order AGAIN... I always take Thursdays as a "quiet day", I usually stay in my jammies and just do things around the house and relax.
So I put in an order for my food and I use the "Joseph Delivers" service that is available since neither The Bistro or Carlton will deliver meals anymore.
Joseph went to get my dinner last Thursday and they said they didn't have an order. I had handed it to the server (Cooper who I think works High) on Wednesday. So somehow that was lost!
This time I handed my order to the Second in Charge Person on Monday figuring that it would be sure to be there.
Joseph went to get it today and they said they DIDN"T have an order for me!!!! Joseph handed the phone to DeDee and she took my order over the phone.
Now I am going to have to go "investigative reporter" and find out what is happening to my orders and is this happening to others. But that's a job for tomorrow.
It was a good meal and I was hungry because I didn't do lunch.
Off to clean up the kitty throw up I found behind the chair in the living room.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Clean your Purse and Car--Here's a list of things to toss: Old gum and candy wrappers, Soda bottles, Scraps of paper/old receipts, Drive thru bags and cups, Jackets/coats/shoes AND Today is window washing day! Clean all the windows in your Master Bedroom and if you have one in your bathroom clean that one too. Make sure to wipe the window sill and the frame.
Wow, busy missions, LOL. I have one job today, clean the floor behind the blue chair. I did take the cans out to the balcony and deal with them while I put away the winter wreath and grabbed the spring one. That will be up till next month and then I will switch to the Easter one for a bit.
I got the new menu and newspaper and grabbed some yogurt so time for that.

Floor is done! It wasn't as bad as I thought, mostly just needed sweeping and a little mopping. Letting the floor dry then I will put everything back and do a detail dust/clean of the window sill and side table.
Earlier I got the dishwasher unloaded, kitty food dumped, trash handled and coffee brewed.
For now getting ready for Bingo, playing computer games and clearing email.

Saturday ... It's Spring ...
I have Housekeeping today. So far I have got everything picked up off the floor and ready to go except the bathroom litter box and water bowls. So once she gets here I will do the last bit.
Yesterday I did finish up cleaning behind the chair, I did a good pledge of the file cabinet and then dusted the window sill of dead flies, LOL. The spider is busy in that corner.
Working on email and doing a little grocery shopping. NO Bingo today for me and then I will go for dinner later and read my book.

Yeah, Housekeeping came and went and my floors are currently drying. I hope the kitties will stay hidden and give them a chance to dry.
Next up, Safeway is coming between 3 and 4.

Not much on the list for the day. I didn't get a paper, so need to go and print a couple of things. My Walmart order arrived so I need to deal with that.
Working on clearing email and then I need to run down for brunch and then 2pm Bingo and 5pm Chinese Food.
Off to finish getting ready to go.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Home Blessing Day AND time to go sofa and chair diving! This is when you remove the cushions from your sofas and chairs and start digging for the things that magically disappear in there.
I cleaned up the kitchen, got the dishwasher loaded and brewed the coffee. Just clearing email and I am taking the day to stay home and enjoy the lovely weather.
Email is done. Back to computer games.

Oops, mini power failure. Lasted about 10 minutes. I was just grabbing my flashlight that stands up like a lantern hooked to my nightstand when the power came back on.
I did manage to get the minutes sorted. I had to black out an item on the agenda, The Bistro was supposed to do an update but the manager went on vacation, LOL. Partially my fault -- I had told him about it and thought he knew we had the meeting every month at the same time. I should have confirmed the date and time with him, so now I know that for next month.
No clue what happened to the power, first I realized it was out was the generator kicking on! It is in the garage below my unit.
Back to doing a few chores.

After listening to the Senate hearing today and the comments from Trump and his cabinet members, it appears we are heading into another instance in American history where we will ultimately find out that the coverup underway right now is even worse than the original crime.

San Jose just dethroned NYC as the most expensive U.S. city, with the Bay Area dominating the list. Living comfortably here comes at a steep price.

Oops, those two belong in the other thread - copied over.
I did clean up the kitchen, loaded up and ran the dishwasher and I just took out the biggest bag I have ever seen - from Walmart, not even full when I received it - out to the trash along with the newspapers and other recycables.
Guess it is time to ride my bike and then get back to my email.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to take 10 minutes and dust the decorative items in your living room. The picture frames, lamps, and knick knacks. This is a detailed dusting so, turn on the music and move quickly.
I guess watching the videos about my mild sleep apnea would qualify for procrastination, so maybe I will go see what the first one says.
I did clean up the kitchen a bit while the coffee brewed but I need to unload the dishwasher.
Yesterday was fun at Bingo, won 2 games, so now I guess I will deal with email and that video.

Oh and I gathered some clothes to send out for laundry. I think they may get cleaner than our machines, giving it a try. So I need to schedule a pick up.

Scheduled a pickup for Friday, took all the cans out to the balcony and got them sorted. I grabbed the Easter bunny decoration so I won't forget it and will probably put up the spring decorations this weekend.
