Found a copy of hooks to do what I want in the closet but now I need a drill, LOL, I am just not strong enough to screw stuff into the wood anymore.
So ... I cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and got the dishwasher started. Wrangled the cans onto the balcony and sorted them into bags. Moved the chair at the dining room table, leaned out the dustbuster and dumped my Mother's Day rose - it finally gave up.
I have a bunch of different trash stuff to take out, a couple of packages to deal with, sorting the minutes for distribution and putting away the paper so we can get rid of the box.
I think I am going to use some Museum putty on the nightstand lamp and other things so they will stop fall down behind the nightstand. It is a kitty highway so that should help.
Now time to deal with mail, packages and computer games.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time 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.
It's Town Hall day ... got the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, sorted out the minutes and got them ready for distribution. Then went down to the meeting, it was a good one and our Manager announced her retirement for June 15th.
Now working on email and computer games.

While I was getting my lunch together I cleaned out the fridge. Had some old soups and I realized I still had cold brew coffee from last summer, LOL.
Dumped that out so I can clean the bottle so it is ready for this summer.
Also dusted off the small stepstool and did a bit of rearrangement in the closet.
Little by little getting all the little odd things around the house done, LOL. Next up is to put the paper into the shelf and get rid of the box.
Oh yeah, I have newspapers and other recycling to take out also, back to email.

It's Clean the Car and Purse Day AND it's time to remake your bed, strip it, Spritz it with Febreze of something like that, rotate or flip the mattress and put on some nice spring sheets. Also change out the comforter to the Spring/Summer one, if you do that.
I already did this mission, and I love my new sheets!
Today is Resident Council Day at 1pm, Bingo at 2pm and Mexican Food at 6pm. So far I have cleaned up the kitchen, made the coffee, cleaned up me, LOL, and been working on email.

Saturday ... It's HOusekeeping Day ...
YEAH, my floors could use a good mopping, LOL. I have been getting ready. Cleared the bathroom counters and got my paper put away and the Chewy box opened. Stashed both boxes and the "spare" rollie on the balcony.
Time to grab the paper and some yogurt.

Went to pick up the scratchers from the living room floor and found a fresh throw up! Got that cleaned up and now the living room is ready.
Made my coffee and now it's time to work on email, etc. The house is ready to go except for the last minutes things I do.... take the bathroom litter box up and two things in the office - water and scratcher pads.
Off to email.

Unbelievable. I guess I am the only person to check on Housekeeping! She isn't coming, there was some sort of emergency last night so she won't be here till Tuesday and they will have to figure out how to get us taken care. this does seem a bit suspicious since it's a 3 day weekend.
My house it stacked all over, I think I will just leave it, but I have balcony inspection on Tuesday and have a much of stuff out there.
At least now I can go and take a nap, I have been just waiting and I am sleepy!!

Sunday ... Time to play for Memorial Day ...
Not sure what I will do today, maybe put some of the house back together since I have no clue when I will get rescheduled.
Oh, I do need to unload the dishwasher and restock all the kitty foods. I think I am going to rearrange one shelf in my pantry for all the Fancy Feast Foods so I can at least get them in alpha order. Then I can at least tell what I have, LOL, right now I think I keep re-ordering things I have and don't need more of.
Also Bingo at 2pm, for now back to bed with the paper and some yogurt to catch the news.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Home Blessing Day AND we're in the living room and it's time for a Bunny Hunt! A DUST bunny hunt! Grab your broom and hit the trail. Look under the furniture, the walls, the ceiling fixtures, on top of the curtains and blinds.
LOL, I might do a cobweb hunt instead. I got the kitchen all cleaned up, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, brewed the coffee. Then I got the Friskies cat food unpacked, sorted and stored in the kitchen Cabinet. I am moving the Fancy Feast to the pantry since I have so many kinds I need to get them into some sort of order so I don't keep ordering stuff that they don't like or that I already have a ton of.
I have a balcony inspection tomorrow so I need to check it out, I think the only issue is to remove the boxes to the recycling. They are actually inspecting mine so they can see the bottom of my upstairs neighbor.
Also need to get the living room put back together since I didn't get housekeeping. Many other chores on my list for today and I have decided to give up Monday Bingo, it messes up my day being at 2pm, which throws off my normal routines. So the way to solve that problem is to not go, LOL.
Off to clear email, balance my checkbooks, pay bills and play some computer games.

Finally thru email and caught up on my games, so now working on balancing checkbooks. I paid my Kaiser bill and set up my Xfinity HotSpot account. I decided it was worth the $10 monthly charge to have it ready to go. We have a several outages lately and that is annoying.
Off to grab the boxes off the balcony and see if it needs any other "neatening" for tomorrow. Also put the scratchers back on the floor where they belong.
Off to the balcony and the banking websites.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Planning Day ... AND Something in the living room, LOL, maybe a detail dusting. I didn't get an email.
I have cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee, took out trash out and have been waiting for the inspectors. I guess I should call and see if it is still happening, I am hungry and want to do some lunch but I was trying to wait until they came and went.
Ok, I checked and they are in the building so I will wait a bit. Back to email

Balcony Inspector came, climbed up on a ladder and looked at the bottom of the deck above, then left. Took about 10 minutes but I waited until 12:30, I really wanted some lunch.
So once they left I put my left over Mexican into the microwave and there was a knock on the door. It was Housekeeping. Someone was supposed to let me know she would be here at 1pm, no one did!! So she went to the next place and will come back since I wasn't ready and didn't have anything up. I had just put it all back down in prep for the balcony inspection!!
I got the kitchen ready, then had lunch, the did the bedroom, living room, etc. I am glad she came my floors really needed a good vacuuming since I had cancelled the last one due to illness.
Now I have gotten the bathroom and kitchen back together, the kitty stairs are back in place and Sylvester let me know he wanted some food, LOL.
Still need to bring everything back in from the balcony, and get the stuff out of the closet that I slide in there to clear the floors, but all this activity - expected and unexpected is tiring. I just want a nap.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day -- I think I will do a detail dusting that has been on my list for at least a month, LOL. AND time to a detailed vacuuming session, get up against the baseboards and move the furniture, if you can.
I have showered and shaved, LOL, have a haircutt at 1:15pm, I think I need at least an inch or two off my length and a little layering. It has been bugging me.
Got the kitchen cleaned up and the coffee brewed, had a little lunch, ordered a kitty grass delivery and a Safeway delivery. I have Bingo at 7pm and dinner at 5pm, so a busy day but not too busy.
I do need to work on the pantry and get the Fancy Feast put away and sorted. Plus I am taking my extra "rollie" up to the Free Laundry Table.
Off to clear email and get updated on everything else.

Haircut done! and I got the rollie up to the free table in the laundry room. It clears up space on the balcony and maybe someone else can use it.
Finished up email, ordered Door Dash and now I should finish the paper and my computer games.

It's quiet day for me so I will just be doing things around the house. I am listening to DayDrinking because I forgot a new one is coming out today.

It's Clean your Purse and Car Day AND today is the last day of the Living Room Zone, time to put something pretty in the room.
We are heading into a two day heat wave so I watered the outside plants and gave the kitties new water. then I closed the blinds a bit so we won't get too much heat in the house and got the ceiling fan and oscillating fan going. I unloaded the dishwasher, brewed the coffee and cleaned up the kitty plates.
My friend called and she has "escaped" the hospital with her surgery now scheduled for June 3rd.
So now I am working on email, etc and then I have Bingo at 2pm. Got my dinner order ready to go for 3pm pickup and then I can relax for the rest of the day.

I brewed the coffee and cleaned up the kitchen while I waited. I picked up a to go dinner at brunch so now I have enough different foods to last until Wednesday, LOL. I have a couple of nice ceasar salads for lunch.
