It's Clean your purse and car day AND Today is the day to remake your bed. Time to rotate/flip the mattress, spritz it with Febreze or an anti-bacterial spray and then put on the fresh new sheets!
I have Resident Council at 1pm, Bingo at 2pm, then I will be able to do my chores - which I have made a new list.
For now I am getting ready and clearing email.

Great meeting, no one was abusive to The Bistro Manager. They asked questions, gave critism and compliments so it went great. I did complain that they keep changing the slat and pepper, sometimes it's in the shaker with 2 holes then the next day its the one with 3 holes. Just pick one and stay consistent, LOL.
Then we had Bingo and I won 4 games - I hadn't won in a while and once I put out all my money for 15 games (.30 per game) I was out of dimes! Then I won the first game - $4.10, won 2 others and then had to share one time. So it was a successful day and I replenished my bag of dimes.
Then I picked up my dinner order, came home had some late lunch and then cleared email. Also opened up the mail - got my 3 new pairs of earrings and they are perfect. It's been a great day!
Oh when I went out to Bingo I saw that someone had taken my 3 bags of cans so I can take that off my list. I was going to move them out to the balcony but no more, LOL.
Now it's time to go change clothes, crawl back into bed, finish the paper and play some computer games.

Saturday ... a day to play ...
Got the kitchen sort of cleaned up, enough to get the trash ready to go and the dishwasher running.
Now back to bed with the paper, yogurt and the news.

Sunday .. A quiet day ...
I did get the dishwasher unloaded, the recycle cans and trash taken to the bins this morning while the coffee brewed.
Still need to get everything put away, the water bottles refilled, newspapers and some more trash to take out.
Plus I have a pill of things in office to deal with. This is what happens when you just stay in bed goofing off all day, LOL>

It's Home Blessing Day AND time for a detailed vacuuming - check around the walls and baseboards that seems to get missed. Use a brush to dust the baseboards first, then vacuum.
I did a little work in the kitchen while my coffee brewed. Got almost all the water bottles refilled and cleaned up the sink.
Now working on email and my Safeway order..

Safeway order done, received and put away. I won 4 times at Bingo today!!
And I have gotten thru email, balanced my checkbook and figured out my bills for May. The feds finally cashed my check for my taxes - took them long enough.
Time to relax and get caught up on my computer games.

It's Planning Day AND time to dust the decorative items in your living room. The picture frames, lamps and knick knacks, this is a detailed dusting.
I need to clean up the kitchen and figure out when to do the laundry, it's time for a load, so maybe today or tomorrow. I can check to see if they have gotten the price back down to 2.25 as agreed.
Working on email, the newspaper and games.

Kitchen is totally cleaned up, too many kitty plates - I have been slacking, dishwasher is loaded and waiting for more.
I did get thru email and I put some stock up for sale. I was thinking I could take a loss on my Nike stock, for tax reasons, since I just don't think they will recover very well from the tariffs. Also let go 10 shares of RTX since I don't know much about the company.
Now it's time to go and ride the bike. I also want to get back into my Lazyfit app but when I checked the tablet needed charging so that is happening.
Off to the bike.

Wow, just went to do a quick check of email and my stocks have already sold, perhaps I priced them a little too low, probably not since I just wanted to get rid of them for the reasons I said before.

I grabbed the paper, rent bill, announcements, bag of cans and the chewy box off the front entrance. Then I took all 3 bags of cans out to the balcony. Opened up the door since it is going to be hot today, got the ceiling fan going.

Kitchen cleaned up, dishwasher loaded and 2 of the 3 boxes of cat food put away. I did another chewy order to get stocked up on stuff in case the tariffs impact costs.
Got email cleared and now thinking about what to do next, oh, I need to ride my bike and I moved laundry to tomorrow because as I have been doing stuff I keep getting a reminder pain from my hip/back.
Off to catch up computer games.

So excited, I found out I could by a portion of a stock, I somehow missed this. So I purchased a half share of Costco since I had some money from my sales.
Also got all the emails out about the May Newsletter, I don't have any ideas for articles right now, guess I will look thru my folder and see if any of that is still relevant.
Off to games.

So I was getting dressed to go do laundry and that meant I should at least unpack the laundry from my last delivery. This meant a little work in the closet. I put all the winter jammies into sets and put them all in a basket on the shelf, then organized the spring/summer jammies in the drawer. IN doing this I found several sets of socks and underwear that I had forgotten about since I stuck them in a basket instead of where they belonged. Got those put into the proper place and since I have underwear for 5 more days I can delay laundry to next week!!!
This did take quite a bit of time since I had to move some stuff around, and hang up my other shirts and stuff from the laundromat. Maybe by next week they will have reduced the cost of laundry back to where it should be.
Speaking of reductions, I got my PG&E bill and it is $6.84!! I was wondering why everyone's bill was so much lower than mine last month - I guess I am on a different cycle than them since I got my CA Climate Credit on $58 this month instead of last.
Finally since I am not going to do laundry I felt I must do some other chores so I cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwasher going. While loading it up I noticed it could use some cleaning so I grabbed the 409, sprayed it down and cleaned it before I turned it on. I also dumped some vinegar in it as well.
Did a little pedicure and now need to do my nails, but first clear email, etc.. then hit the showers to go get Pasta tonight!

It's Clean your Purse and Car day AND time to clear the clutter in the entryway -- put away the shoes, jackets and mail that have piled up.
Had a fabulous dinner at Pasta Primavera last night and I have leftovers too! Not much on the agenda today - I have housekeeping tomorrow.
I had a hard time getting into my house last night since both my Chewy orders came and they were both heavy as I tried to push them into the house. Today I need to unpack and put everything away and then see what is left to put in it's place before tomorrow.
For now, the newspaper, yogurt and some games.

Fun playing Bingo but no wins today. Then I wrangled a bunch of can on the balcony. I don't know what was going on out there but the kitties seem to have had a party and knocked over the milkcrates that they normally lay on for the sun, LOL. I put everything back together and Sylvester went out to inspect the job.
Got the dishwasher unloaded and had some lunch. Now I need to finish the paper and get caught up on my games.

Saturday ... A day for fun and play ...
I went ahead and cancelled Housekeeping, I may have a bit of a flu bug. Just feel sort of yucky but not full on yucky, LOL.
Fed the kitties, grabbed the paper and yogurt and going back to bed.

Sunday ... a Day for reflection and gratitude ...
Yep, I have a stomach flu bug. I feel better today but not totally back to normal.
I did clean up the kitchen and I am going to go read the paper and have some yogurt. Then I will plan from there - not sure I should go down to The Bistro which raises a question I should pose to the "powers that be". What are sick people supposed to do - spread the germs by going down, or just not eat.
Anyway, off to clear email - we lost the internet at some point yesterday afternoon so I have a bunch of it built up.

It's Home Blessing Day AND time to move to the kitchen and wipe down the small kitchen appliances. Just wipe down the fingerprints, dust, drips, dried food particles on the most used items.
I might be turning the corner today, got some Pepto delivered and some microwave meals since I have been sort of winging it on toast. Hoping this is the end.
Back to bed.

It's Planning Day AND Let's go back to basics and get rid of the dirty dishes. Any dishes that are in the sink or on the counter or hidden in the oven, you know where you hide them, WASH them.
Hahahahaha, I just got through cleaning up my kitchen. Since I haven't been feeling well a few things had built up. All the dishes have been rinsed and the dishwasher is running. I cleaned the burner covers on the stove and wiped down the toast so I can put it away. Then I hauled out 3 bags of trash and the newspapers.
One of the bags of trash I had sitting by the door leaked a little so I cleaned up the floor. Then I wiped down the bar counter and cleaned the tray that sits there with the kitty grass.
I can tell I need to be careful today, just that bit of physical activity made me a little light headed and dizzy so now I will do some office stuff.
I did have some yogurt and read the newspaper and brewed the coffee while doing the kitchen chores. So now it's time for email and my office work.
Oh and I feel good, my stomach doesn't ache, haven't had a bout of diarrhea since I took the Pepto, still running a low grade temp but that could have been because of the physical exertion, I will check again once I have been stationary for a bit.

Got thru my pile of stuff in the office, did the minutes and sent them off for review.
Had some lunch and thinking about whether I should go down to dinner and Bingo or just go for chicken noodle soup with crackers. I am leaning to the soup since I am feeling tired. Guess being in bed for several days takes out your stamina, LOL.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to clean off the flat surfaces of the kitchen! Grab a trash bag and an empty laundry basket. Toss the trash and put the things that need to be put away in other rooms in the laundry basket. Once you have cleared the hotspots, deliver the other items to the proper locations.
I had a very late start this morning - turned off the alarms and woke up at almost 11!! I was tired from all the stuff I did yesterday but at least I feel back to normal this morning.
My first tasks are to change my sheets and clean the bathroom! But first I am going to grab the paper and some yogurt.

The bathroom has been scrubbed with Antibacterial 409! I even scrubbed the inside of the toilet, I have some cleaner left over from living at the condo, LOL.
Then I took a nice shower, have lotioned up all over and got new clean clothes. Got my hair curled and the face moisturized.
Still need to change the sheets, that is coming but now I need some coffee - brewed it while showering.
Off to grab some coffee and clear my email.
