Kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher loaded. Rode my bike and got the blinds reopened in the living room. Amazing the difference that makes.
Still working on redoing the pantry with the kitty foods and I think I want to buy a small air fryer. Off to post my question for recommendations.

Ok, I bought an Air Fryer and they had some perfume that has been on my list so that is another task done.
Got my tablet charging that has Lazyfit, I want to start doing it everyday. That's why I am giving up Bingo on Mondays. I felt like it was throwing my whole week off because it threw off my routines since it broke up my day at 2pm. I suppose it would have worked but then I would stay and chat so it ended up killing 2 hours of my first day of the week. I don't mind 7pm Bingo and Fridays at 2pm is great because it's the start of the Weekend.
So far it's going great.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Planning Day AND time to sweep your front porch, the area around your front door. Shake out your welcome mats and wipe down your front door.
Got a late start today, got up early 7ish and fed the kitties then fell asleep til 11! I am not sure if I should be concerned about all this sleeping - will have to research that later.
Anyway, while brewing the coffee I got the water bottles refilled and the kitchen cleaned up. The dishwasher is running and I put in a sell on my Planatir Stock. I only have 2 shares but that is 2 too many.
Now I am working on email and my other 2 things on my list - clean up the bathroom/restock/all the stuff and clean all the old food out of the fridge. That will then mean a trip to the trash but that's ok.
Also need to ride my bike and do my Lazyfit, I got the tablet charged. I think I will star that while I clear email.

Wow, that was fast, my stock sold very quickly then I noticed it started to slide in value.
Did my Lazyfit - wow that was a bit tricky - it's what happens when you don't do it everyday and build up. I am working on getting back to everyday.
Email is finished and now I am catching up on games and other stuff on my list.

Swept the bathroom and did some spot mopping. I have housekeeping on Saturday but she doesn't get the edges and corners like I do, LOL.
Ended up cutting my hair a bit, it was too long in back so I just dealt with it. Might not be straight but it makes me happy, LOL.

Wednesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Anti-Procrastination Day -- maybe those cobwebs will finally get handled, LOL AND time to declutter your dining room. It does not matter what you get rid of, just get rid of anything that does not belong in the dining room.
Not sure what is on my plan for the day other than opening up and testing my new Air Fryer that came!
For now, email, newspaper, yogurt and Perry Mason.

Ok, this Air Fryer is a bit bigger than I was expecting. I am going to have to move a few things around in the kitchen fit it in the corner opposite the stove (that I never turn on).
Got the basket and other part washed and drying in the sink. It was the first thing the manual told me to do.
I also got a new "faucet thingie" and it won't work. I noticed in the tiny print that it says for mobile homes, which I don't understand unless they have different faucets in them. I thought a faucet is a faucet, not counting all the fancy ones. Anyway it was only $1.99 so next time I am out I will see about a different one.
Off to play some computer games and then Bingo at 7pm.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Errand Day -- LOL, I am going to the bank -- AND time to check the dining room for cobwebs and the dust bunnies, get the dust off the baseboards and the cobwebs out of the corners in the ceiling. Have you checked your light fixture lately, does it need to be dusted?
Normally it's my quiet day, and already I had to go to the Activities area for the "Staff and Volunteer Appreciation Day". I only went because we got cake but I knew I was getting a certificate. Then we got to talking and apparently a BofA run was being planned so now I am in on that!
All I really want to do is stay home and enjoy my quiet day!
I just wangled the cans and bottles, then pruned a spider plant and brought it in to soak in the kitchen sink. I don't think it really gets enough water.
And then I fixed the flyer I wanted to put in the move-in packages. Got it printed and ready to go.
Now I need to catch up on computer games and email.

Got a bunch of cash! Yeah, I was feeling like I didn't have any in my earthquake fund, now it is replenished. And I had jokingly said we should go thru the MacDonalds drive thru on the way back, but out driver didn't like MacDonalds so we went to A& W.
Wow, that was a really good Root beer float with French fries!!!
Now I am ready to have "quiet day" and not do anything for the rest of the day. I haven't even finished the paper yet.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Clean your Car and Purse Day AND time to dust off the leaves on our house plants and give them a drink of water!
So funny, I took the spider plant back out to the balcony and watered a couple of plants. I need to water the rest and then do the inside. Mine don't have time to get dusty since the kitties harrass them all the time, LOL.
Also cleaned up the kitchen while I brewed the coffee. I also rearranged the top of the microwave so I have a spot for the last stuff that needed a home since the Air Fryer took the space.
Today I need to get rid of the boxes from the air fryer and other recycling and trash. Sweep the office where Sylvester has thrown the kitty grass on the floor and spilled dirt all over .
So those are my chores, for now I will work on email and finishing the paper before I go to Bingo at 2pm.

Saturday .. a day to relax ...
It's Housekeeping day but I am not going to get ready until I call down and confirm Karin is in the house today, LOL. And I'm not doing that till later.
Lots of little chores done yesterday, won a game at Bingo and relaxed the rest of the day!

Got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher going, all the bedroom and living room is picked up and ready for Karin. I saw her in the hallway and she is coming after her lunch, yeah, that is my favorite time. I think she does me last because I am relatively clean and not that hard to do.
Got thru email and I talked to my friend in the hospital this morning, so glad to finally hear from her. I have been kept up to date on her situation but haven't been calling since she is still groggy and and pain from her surgery. So it was nice to hear from her -- she was a bit loopy, LOL.
Playing computer games and reading the newspaper.

HOusekeeping is done and the house looks great! I watered all the plants and put the living room back together. Off to see about the bathroom, Nala is looking for her litter box ... of course, she can't use the one that didn't move and is in the office, lol.

Monday's Mission
It's Home Blessing Day AND we are back to Front Porch, the Entrance area, and the Dining Room. Time to spend 15 minutes getting rid of anything that does not belong on your porch or front entrance way.
I just finished brewing the coffee and getting the kitchen cleaned up, the dishwasher loaded up. Still need to refill some water bottles but my main chore is to finish up the Newsletter and get it off to print.
Also clear email.

It's Planning Day AND somehow we have moved back to the kitchen, LOL. I am not sure they are sending out the correct missions right now with the closing of the shop and the redo of the website. But it's time to clean out the silverware drawer.
I am just going to grab some yogurt, the paper and go back to bed and watch Perry Mason for a while.

Trash and newspapers out to the bins, then I had to notify the front desk that the trash chute is full to almost overflowing! So I can't take anymore stuff out, annoying.
Now I am working on the kitchen and updating our Move-In Tips since we have a new manager coming on board.
Still working email!

Wait, what? A new manager? What happened to the old one?
And have you cooked anything in your fryer yet?

LOL, The Manager, Terry, was supposed to retire and had actually submitted her papers and they asked her to stay on for a year here and get it straightened out. So that turned into more than a year but she is done and retiring on June 15th. I think we wore her out.
Anyway, they have hired a new person, who has more apartment management experience than "assisted living management". Terry was adamant about the new manager having apartment management and I am glad because then some of the shenanigans that people get away with will be dealt with more appropriately. Interested to see how it goes but it may mean I have to be Resident Council President for another year in order to train the new manager, hahahahahaha.
I haven't made anything in the air fryer yet, that is next on my list. I did get some frozen french fries yesterday so I can give them a shot. Just have to see how to do it.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day and time to grab a trash bag and clean out your refrigerator. You are to toss ANYTHING that will not get eaten any time soon.
I cleaned up the kitchen, got the dishwasher loaded and running, ran the trash out to the bins and now I am working on email.
Time to go and read the paper, have some yogurt
