It's Planning Day AND now we are in the Entrance, Front Porch and the Dining Room. It's time to shake out your door mats and wipe down your front door.
My disposal is back working again, yesterday it would only hum, so I called for the men with the tool. Also got the kitchen cleaned up, refilled water bottles and brewed the coffee.
Did a little clean up in the bathroom since I accidently shot the shower spray out the back of the shower, LOL, so spot mopping occurred.
Working on email/socials, listening to Taran.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND take 10 minutes to get rid of the hotspots that gather in this area. The junk mail, newspapers, shoes, jackets etc.
I cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and then had the Safety Forum Meeting, so now I am back to deal with email/socials, the rest of the paper and figure out my plans for the day.
Currently trying to understand how a man got stuck in a garbage truck !!!! I guess he was in a dumpster that was picked up and then compacted. Not clear why the guy was in the dumpster.

Housekeeping done, Nala emerged to yell at me about it, LOL, but I got her kitty box back into the bathroom and put down some fresh water. She drank like she had been starved of water for days even though she has a bowl on the bar as well.
Refreshed the big bucket of water, for her, but once she saw the basic things were back where they belonged she went on the balcony for another nap.
I got the kitchen, bath and bedroom back together, it doesn't take much and now I am ready to relax for a while.

It's Planning Day with a bit of Home Blessing AND we are in the kitchen now. Time to scrub the stovetop and clean out the silverware or one other drawer.
It's going to be hot so my plan is to water the plants, clean up the balcony, clean up the kitchen and put away the Safeway order.
I got most of the Safeway order put away, brewed the coffee and grabbed my yogurt and newspaper.
Off to water the plants, then yogurt/newspaper/computer games.

It's Errand Day AND time to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.
I did a lot this morning, now I am sitting at my desk with my fan blowing on me to stay cool, LOL.
I swept up the dirt on the balcony, Nala kept laying in it and then coming to get petted while I was in bed. I would then find dirt all over the comforter. So, I watered the plants and cleaned up the balcony, and I thought she was out there but now I have no clue where she is sleeping because she is not out there! I hate that.
Then I cleaned up the kitchen, cleared out the fridge, gathered up all the trash, refilled water bottles and I am having cold coffee today. Got the dishwasher going and I will load up the rollie with the trash and recycling and take that out later.
For now I need to clear email/socials and catch up with Taran.

It's Clean your Purse/Car Day AND its time to check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink.
Got the coffee brewed while I unloaded the dishwasher and then cleaned up the kitchen. So glad it has cooled off and can get some chores done!
My plan is to finish up the things left over from yesterday, plus I need to schedule a haircut and eye appointment.
Plus my sister is coming tomorrow so I need to gather all the stuff for her.
Off to work on email/socials and catch up on BB.

Sunday ... a day for rest and reflection
I had a whole list and plan of things I was going to do today, Brunch and Bingo being one of them.
But I work up at 4m with a stomach ache and feeling like I was going to throw up. I managed to get thru that with no events and got up around 10am. I have a low grade fever and some gastrointestinal upset.
So I quickly ran out the stinky bag of garbage and grabbed the paper and some yogurt.
Hopefully I will feel better later this morning. Back to bed with the paper/yogurt.

It's Home Blessing Day AND we are in the main bathroom and another room of your choice. Time to wipe down around the base and the back of the toilet.
Feeling totally back to normal, what a weird little bug that was.
I cleaned up the kitchen and ran out trash and 2 bags of recycling, the trash room is still a mess so I sent off and email about it. So I can't take all the trash I have stacked on my rollie, it's mostly some recycling - that bin is almost full - and some "dry, not smelly" trash, LOL.
Brewed the coffee, got thru the paper and had some yogurt. Also put in a dinner order for a 4pm pickup.
We got a new menu style, Brendan the visiting Chef apparently spent some time "remodeling" it. I now have to find out who to talk to about it. It's real pretty BUT it sucks down so much ink it's not worth it. He put a solid back half inch border around the pages, added an inch of food pictures and moved the weekly limited time offers to the back page. Anyway I need to get an eamil address to mention the problems.
Plus the website doesn't have the correct menu and I will check the TV when I go down to pick up my food.
Off to work on email/socials and finish up with Taran.

Went down and grabbed some soup and a Philly Cheesesteak for lunch then came back to do my chores. I was able to catch up with Chef Brendan and let him know that while the menu is pretty it sucks down ink when you print it! Also he needs to get the limited time offers onto the first pate. He thinks he can make a more printer friendly email version so will work on it.
Then I cleaned up the kitchen, refilled water bottles, brewed some coffee and now will work on email/socials.

LOL Juju, now I am on them for the fire alarms. We just had a test and I have asked more than one time if they are calibrated correctly. CoPilot says shouldn't be higher than 85db. Mine is 99!!!!
So I ask the guy and he says it has to be loud so you will hear it if you are asleep, test it at your pillow. It came in at 99!!!!!
Now I have to find out who to talk to so it can be lowered to 85. I swear the number of times the residents set off the alarms here it is starting to impact my hearing!

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to look in the medicine cabinets and toss the empty bottles and boxes that are taking up space. While you are doing this also take a look at the expiration dates.
Cleaned up in the kitchen a bit while I brewed the coffee and waited for the 4th blast of the fire alarms. I think my floor was last so hoping we are done.
Working on email/socials and catching up on bB.

Got the "rollie full of trash" out to the bins, so all the boxes, old cat scratchers, newspapers and a couple of bags of kitty poop are out of the house.
Made an appointment to get Flu/Covid shots next week and made an eye appointment, first available Novemeber!! That is why I looked today I was afraid it they might be far out.
Nala yelled at me a bit for the fire alarm going off and on and is now taking a well-deserved nap, LOL, I know the feeling I am tired too.
I was noticing that my laptop was looking pretty dirty, so I researched the best way to clean. Grabbed the rubbing alcohol and scrubbed it down. So much better now.
Finishing up the paper, working on a Safeway order for tomorrow and then computer games are up.
I have bingo tonight so dinner at 5:30 and Bingo after.

It's Errand Day AND time to shine our bathroom sinks and counter tops. Scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe down with Windex.
IT feels like a day to stay in bed and read a book so I took the morning off. Got my coffee brewed and I am working on email/socials and figuring out what else to do today.
First I think I will ride my bike, I have let my exercise plans drop so I need to get that going again. Also might work on rotating the mattress on the bed, we shall see.
Off to email and BB

Oh I forgot, we get a new laundry room today, they are having a ribbon cutting ceremony, hahahahahaha. I guess everyone is supposed to stand in the hallway while they cut the ribbon on the door.
So a new company is taking over but the reason the machines break is because the residents overload them to try and save money, so we shall see how it goes.
Also the payment is thru an AirWallet, don't think there will be coins, so some people are upset. They say everyone doesn't have a credit card, and I asked don't they have a debit card? They are the same thing, some of these people are very set in that they do not want to join in the current technology, others are at an age where their kids won't allow it.
So that is another thing I want to do today, uninstall the app from CSCGo and set up the new wallet.
