Sunday ... a day for peace and reflection ...
I cleaned up the kitchen a bit, looked for an envelope and stamp to mail my tax payment, restocked my coffee, brewed my coffee and grabbed the paper and yogurt.
Also ordered some new kitty grass for the babies. Now working on email.

Monday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Home Blessing Day and we are in the bathroom and an extra room for the week! Your mission for today is to do a 27 fling boogie in the bathroom! Get rid of those shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, etc., that you have held onto but you don't use them! Toss them!
I got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher is running and the coffee brewing. I refilled some soda bottles and grabbed the paper and some yogurt.

Games played, lunch eaten, ran some recycling and trash out to the bins.
I have Bingo at 2pm and then I need to work on the Newsletter and Minutes. I also want to track down all the fans and get them ready to go in the bedroom, which means putting the heaters away -- I don't know will it jinx us and get cold? LOL. I hope so!
Off to clear email
Oh and yesterday I mailed in my Tax payment.

Finished up the newsletter and sent it off for printing. Then I worked on the minutes. I swear the gal who took the minutes must have attended a different meeting. I was laughing ... saying to myself " we never even talked about that". She always says she can't read her notes so I think she just adlibs what she thinks happened. Too funny. I will pull out my notes to make the corrections we need.
Also did my refrigerator management.. froze some ham and bacon, don't want to waste that!
I did turn on my bedroom fan but then I found the remote needs new batteries! I think I have one, it's one of those round ones.
At least it will be cooling off tomorrow so probably wont' need it then.

Newspaper done, games caught up and now it's time for chores.
Nuked some soup while the coffee brewed and I unloaded the dishwasher. Cleaned up the kitty dishes and loaded up the dishwasher.
I sorted out some laundry and will send out a batch on Friday. Then all the sheets, mattress cover, etc will be done and I can do the rest upstairs.
Now to clear email and finish up the minutes.

Needed to restock my pills so that took me to the bathroom to get the vitamins, which lead to the dustbust and spot mop of the bath floors.
Tell me ... how can a little 5 pound cat knock over a big box full of books in the bottom to keep it in place! I am amazed everytime Nala does this when she is getting up on the bed, LOL. Off to get some tape to secure the box better and set it back up.

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Anti-procrastination day AND it's time to wash your bathroom rugs, shower curtains and accessories.
I get to skip these missions, I got the procrastination things done yesterday and I don't have any bathroom rugs, LOL.
I already cleaned up the kitchen, reloaded the dishwasher and went to the Town Hall meeting. I also ordered a delivery of kitty grass, it's back in stock!
And I think it is funny that I put away one heater and we got a bit of a cold wave, LOL.
I guess it's time to do some Lazyfit and then computer games. Oh and email!

Went to do my Lazyfit and found the tablet had been plugged in but not charging!! So then I realized my Procrastination chore was to break down all the boxes and haul them out of my house.
They keep multiplying!! I have them broken up and taking them out of the house.
Also got thru all my email.

Holy Moly!! Getting all the boxes out to the bins was an ordeal. I thought I could pile them onto my rollie and take them out. It sort of worked but the main box holding all the broken down ones was bigger than the seat so I had to sort of manipulate it and then getting it out the door with all that stuff was a big chore!
Just goes to show you, don't procrastinate getting rid of the boxes, LOL.
I did at least throw a bag of trash on top and managed to not let the door slam -- with the balcony door open it tends to blow shut.
Anyway back to relaxing and playing games.

So I was sitting here minding my own business doing some computer work and all of a sudden there is a ping and a bang and the Fan that was clipped to the bookcase came flying down.
The gripper thing that held it in place just disintegrated! So weird, but I guess it was over 15 years old and the plastic just couldn't handle it anymore.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Errand Day -- Grocery shopping, Doctor & Dentist appointments, Dropping of clutter donations AND time take 10 minutes to toss old cosmetics and perfumes. If you have these items that you have not used for over a year but they are still hanging around, it is time to dump them.
I was busy this morning, I rearranged my "coffee station". The shelf I built was too tall so I flipped it on it's side, but the coffee maker on top and the coffee supplies and mugs inside. It works perfectly. The whole reason I got the shelf in the first place was to I would have a place to put the coffee filters close to the maker, instead of across the room, LOL. It looks lovely and worked out great in spite of it being the wrong size.
So then I cleaned up the kitty plates, moved the coffee mugs into the shelf, loaded up the dishwasher and then put the dishes I had stacked on top of the microwave up in the cabinet where the mugs had been.
I dug out all the Girl Scout cookies and made a pile to see if my Sister wants them and all the rest are going to the Monument Crisis Center food bin - I am sure they have plenty of kids who will like them. I did find one box that had been stuck back in the cabinet, expired in 2024 that I tossed.
Now I am working on email, games and other stuff. It is "quiet" day so I don't have to leave the house!!!
I read the paper and I have my laundry pickup ready to go for tomorrow.
Off to email and to research a replacement for my "exploding fan", LOL. I saw one this morning on QVC, amazing how it showed up first thing this morning.

Got the dustbuster put back together, I washed the filter yesterday and then I dustbusted the living room / office floors where the kitties had knocked their grass on the floor and spilled dirt all over, LOL.
I also cleaned the bar countertop after I set up the coffee thing.
Email is done and I am off to play more computer games and just enjoy the weird weather - it feels like lay in bed and read a book weather.

Oh and I decided I didn't need a new fan. The one that broke was just a hold over from my working days. I already have a couple for the bedroom and living room so I think I am good.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=4
It's Clean your Purse and Car Day AND time to grab some general purpose cleaner and shine those counter tops and bathroom sinks! Clear everything off the counter top and wipe them from side to side and top to bottom. Then use a little elbow grease and scrub your sink, then spritz the counter top and sink with a little windex to make it shine.
So my laundry bag got picked up and most of my other chores are done. I still need to refill some water bottles, do my hair and makeup, play Bingo at 2pm, do some can management and take out some recycling.
For now I am working on email and playing games.

Saturday ... A day for Fun ...
It's Housekeeping day! I already cleaned up the kitty plates, loaded the dishwasher and got it running. The kitchen is ready to go but I need to refill water bottles.
I did take out the trash, a couple of boxes and the newspapers to recycling and trash bins.
Got the office ready by putting up the Cubi and shredding so that the floors are clear. Oh and I cleared the counters in the bathroom.
So just the final stuff - cat scratchers etc, off the floor needs to be done and I will do that when she gets here.
Now, off to check email and then ready the paper and have some yogurt.

Water bottles refilled, cans wrangled, most of the living room and office done.
I did gather more trash from around the house so it's all in the big bag, LOL. I always end up with a bunch of bags to trash when I organize the cans .. for some reason these people don't finish the soda and there is a little bit in the bottom that spills into the plastic bags. So messy.
My batteries came so I got my bedroom fan remote working. And I am glad I didn't buy another fan, I totally forgot about the one I have hanging on my bedroom door -- it's a portable one that doesn't have a cord. I have it in case of power failures. So I think I have plenty of fans!

Most of the house back together and naturally, since the floors were just cleaned Nala decided to throw up on them, LOL.
It is amazing how it seems to happen almost everytime, I think maybe they don't like the floor cleaner and want to improve it by adding a more appropriate scent.
Got it all cleaned up.

HAPPY EASTER ... It's Sunday ... a day for reflection ...
Have a lovely brunch with mimosas soon, in the meantime I cleaned up the kitchen, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher and brewed the coffee.
No big plans today, just brunch with sister and a few chores. Going to have her help me rotate the mattress so I can change the sheets.

Good brunch, the eggs were a bit too cooked but the hollandaise was excellent. Pineapple upside down cake for dessert, yum.
Then I was able to get rid of the chair from my closet, it was about dead, and replace it with one from my dining room table. The DR table is really a cat lounging area. So now I have turned the table so both boxes on the tabletop have a view and get the sun. I never use it for dining, LOL.
It was on my list to change the table but I needed the chair gone to manage all the moves. Then my sister helped me rotate the mattress and remake the bed, so I am set for the week!!!
Working on email and then going to pickup my To-Go order of Sirloin w/Hollandaise. Yum

It's Planning Day AND time to attack the bedroom clothes pile. This pile is either on a chair, on top of the hamper, dresser or at the foot of your bed.
I don't have a pile but I do have a laundry delivery that I need to unpack, LOL.
Yesterday I played Bingo - no wins, and picked up two orders of food since I don't care for last night or this nights daily specials.
Today I don't have Bingo til 7pm so I got the coffee brewed, working on email, reading the paper and playing some games.
Back to email.
