Vet visit was good, Sylvester has lost weight which I knew, not because I don't feed him, LOL. I think it is because his disease is progressing and he is getting older. But we did some blood work so we shall see.

Then had an excellent breakfast and back home. I am tired from getting up at the crack of dawn, LOL 7am, so need a nap.

I did get email cleared.

Newsletter is done and off to the printers. I think Sylvester is feeling better, he is having a nice nap.

I think it's time for me to do that too, LOL.

Sunday ... a day of relaxation ...

I think I will be a homebody today. I have leftover breakfast from yesterday and many other things so I don't need to go to the Bistro. Plus I can always order something to pick up if need be.

I got the fall decor out of the storage room and swept the balcony, so now it's time for kitty food, yogurt and the newspaper.

So we go to the bank, 4 of us, we had made an appointment, and we try to take 2 off the account and add 2. Then they ask for the paperwork, what paperwork? The minutes making the change. We show them the Newsletter that says Say Hello to your new board .... with a picture. Won't do. So I say well I could do a Board Resolution for you, nope has to be the minutes!

Unbelievable. So we make another appointment for next week and I am going to write up some minutes and email them to them to see if they are ok. Then next week they can change over the accounts for our $1000.

So the Treasurer and I went to lunch and had margaritas, LOL. Havent done a lot today.

Just finished unloading the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen. Sylvester has had a bit of a upset stomach so we have been trying a lot of different kitty foods. I think he is on the mend again! I cut his gabapentin pill in half since apparently it can cause tummy upset.

Back to the computer games and TV, will do Monday over -- tomorrow.

Got the minutes partially done and sent off to the Bank for approval. They seem to think the minutes are set up very differently from how I do them, so I may need to make some changes. Anyway, I will complete the full minutes for the new Board, then I will have finished up all my duties.

I did do my daily QC of the Bistro Website and ordered some food to pickup today at 4pm.

I have Housekeeping tomorrow so I have a few things that need to get put back in their proper place, LOL

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to get an OLD toothbrush and some soap and scrub those kitchen sink faucets!

I have housekeeping today, so have started to clear counters and get ready.

I fed the kitties then put the October Garland out, went to get the witch out of the storage room and find the spider and realized I had put the winter garland out. Grabbed the Fall box, which had the spider in it, LOL, then changed out the garland and wreath. Still need to put out the spider, but that will be for later.

Moved the boxes of decor out to the balcony to deal with later, moved the rollie out to the balcony and working on email.

Housekeeping came and went. I got most of the office put back together and now going to work on the bedroom.

I did send out the minutes for others to review and make sure I got it all correct, especially the parts where we talk about the "complaints".

Off to put the bathroom together.

Sunday ... A day for peace and quite ...

Grabbed the paper and got the coffee brewed. Did a little closet re-org while getting dressed for the day.

Headed down for brunch, then afterwards I will be working on the balcony. Doing a little pruning and get the decoration sorted and boxes put away in prep for the rain coming tomorrow.

Cleared email and social media.

Balcony is ready for the "storms". Got the decorations sorted into smaller boxes so I was able to get rid of one big chewy box.

Finished up the paper and had a great brunch, then got a quiche to go for later this week. They do make excellent quiche. The website is rolling out tomorrow, I think, so I ordered a pick up and they have my money correct now. This is important since people here are very concerned with their money so if it showed more than they should have it would cause major problems.

Not much else on my agenda for today, time to catch up on computer games.

Monday's Mission

It's Home Blessing Day AND now focusing on the main bathroom and one extra room. Time to remove the obvious clutter, take out the dirty laundry, and empty the garbage can.

I cleared all the "absorbable" materials from the balcony but they rain has been delayed to 1pm. Got the kitchen cleaned up, the coffee brewed and the dishwasher running.

Haven't decided if I will venture out to dinner today and the most on my list so far is cubi and lazyfit.

Off to email and social media, opps, I missed Perry Mason, LOL.

It's Planning Day AND time to shine our tubs or showers! I haven't made my list for the day but so far I stacked up old kitty food and fed Sylvester.

Then I opened up the balcony, Nala was sitting at the door waiting, LOL. Grabbed the towels and chair cushion and got them put back into place.

I forgot how much water the mats at the door gather! So I put one over on the concrete and then hung the really wet one one the railing. An amazing amount of water is dripping out. Then I swept the water at the door to the edge.

I grabbed the paper, some yogurt and now am watching Perry back to bed to make my list.

Went to get dirt off the balcony so I can plant some more kitty grass seeds and realized that the "other welcome mat" was full of water.

So I turned it over and draped it over one of the milk cartons and a ton of water came pouring out. So the rain really did dump a bunch on my balcony.

Been working on computer games, catching up on shows -- Brilliant Minds, Watson, Elsbeth - I keep getting phone calls while they are on so have to skip them and watch later.

I did order a couple of Christmas gifts and did a little research for the Resident Council President. They went over and got the bank accounts put into the new boards name - the bank said I didn't have to come, YEAH!!. so that is done.

Off to finish up the paper and games.

Redid the RC Directory into the RC Membership List, LOL, so now we can hand it out with the information we want to have on it.

Now I am opening up all the boxes that I have of stuff. Also gathering all the emails/issues I have with the Landlord in prep for the possible meeting I have with the Manager.

Oh and I did my Lazyfit exercises so I am doing great for the day.

Saturday .... a day for the NO KINGS protests.

We are expecting quite a lot of people here in the suburbs and I heard that they are combining some "Pride Parade" into the SF one, no naked bike riding but there may be some semi-nudity, LOL.

I am participating in spirit since I can't walk that far, so I may have to make some sort of monetary donation.

Also have a Mexican dinner planned tonight, YEAH. So for now I have cleared email, neeed to grab the paper and some yogurt.
