HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Clean your Purse and Car Day AND time to dust off the leaves on our house plants and give them a drink of water!
I have a noon meeting with the new manager, 2pm bingo, 5pm Dinner.
I cleaned up the kitchen and need to clear email but first I am off to my meeting.

Good meeting, it should be interesting because she is much more Apartment Manager focused than Assisted Living and that has been the problem. Carlton is 13 communities that are AL or Memory Care and us. Corporate was always directing our Activities Manager to have us do stuff that was really for Memory People, it was ridiculous.
Then I went and played Bingo, one one game $4.40! So now I am back clearing email and listening to my DayDrinking Podcast.
Next dinner at 5ish, then FINALLY, I can have a quiet day and relax a bit with some computer games and the paper.

Saturday ... a day to play and enjoy the day
I don't have much planned yet, watching Wimbledon and games. Got the kitchen cleaned up and coffee made.
Watching my Rescue streams and Rich is trying to herd the kittens into sitting down for their Churu treat. It's hysterical. A few comply and others don't have the patience.
Off to clear some email and then read the paper. Oh and I need to do a Safeway order and write up the minutes. That's all I have thought of so far.

Got my Safeway order put away, I ended up with 7 corn on the cob instead of 4!! So I tried making 2 in the air fryer. They turned out great except now I know I need to turn them halfway thru. But the more interesting fact is I realized my vegetable oil says best by 2022!! LOL, it didn't smell bad and tasted fine so I used it but I did go and purchase a new bottle and some avocado oil since that seems to be recommended for air fryers since it has a higher heat tolerance.
I did clean up in the kitchen, refilled the water bottles and wrapped up the rest of the corn. I might have to give some away, LOL. Tomorrow I am planning to try a steak in the air fryer.
Got email cleared and some other stuff on my desk, time to take my brownie and go play some computer games.

Sunday .. A day for blessings ...
Tried out my AirFryer on hash browns and Jimmy Dean frozen sausages, turned out really good! Also cleaned up the kitchen and got the dishwasher going.
Off to read the paper and enjoy my coffee.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the kitchen and it's time to scrub your stove top! Soak the knobs and drip pans in hot soapy water while you clean the stove top.
Just getting started figuring out what chores I will do today. So far -- dustbust the bathroom, update and finish the Newsletter (I am trying to figure out how much to put in about the SS lies on not taxable) and do the minutes from the last meeting.
Working on email, then grabbing some yogurt and the newspaper. Oh that is the other thing I need to do, change my newspaper to the E-Edition. I can't support the $250 per month to have it delivered, they have raised it to a level that makes no sense to me when I just use it for the crossword puzzle and TVGuide, which I can print. Guess the rest of my news will come from Bluesky, Threads and you guys.

Cleaned up the kitchen and cleaned out the fridge, needed to see what foods are there to be used before they go bad. This morning I loaded up and ran the dishwasher so I got that unloaded.
Cleared email and now working on the Newsletter.

Wednesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to grab a trash bag and clean out your refrigerator.
I have a meeting at 2pm with the Manager, no indication what it is about so we shall see. Then I can get back to my chores.
I got the Chewy box unloaded but need to put away all the food, it's currently stacked on the bar. Also need to clean up the kitchen and probably run the dishwasher. I noticed that the kitty plates are getting low.
Also need to get the minutes drafted and I have a pile of folders on my desk that need to be dealt with, I am not sure what they are for and if I need to keep them.
For now I am working on email and getting ready to go. Oh and I am behind in my computer games too.

OMG, someone is saying they are with the Resident Council and Welcoming Committee and asking the new residents for money!! They are telling them it is dues for the Resident Council -- there are no dues! I can't wait to hear/find out who this person is because it is none of the people who are actually supposed to do the welcoming.
It is pretty shocking that this has happened, but for some reason I am not surprised. It seems that it has happened to 3 new residents, one was asked for $18, one $30 and don't know what the third one was asked. Now $18 would pay for someone to have breakfast and dinner, but no clue about the $30 except it is a nice round number.
Oh well, once again things will be changing so we shall see how they work out in the long run.

Shocking. But it's someone who is in the know of when new residents move in, and I'm curious if the person knew their names. That would narrow it down a lot.

Apparently they mentioned the names of the actual Welcoming Committee, but I am not sure if they said that was the person who asked. I did raise the question of "would the person who complained know the specific person they mentioned or did the extortionist simply say they were that person".
Everyone knows when new people move in, they post it in the Monthly calendar and we mention it at the Resident Council meeting, and we add them in the Newsletter so people can add them to the Directory.
So it is really odd that is has only recently happened. At first the Manager said " in the past couple of months, then she said later in the past 6 months"; so it's hard to figure out. She will pursue it and I will mention at the next meeting there is no dues, that will get it into the minutes, and I am going to put it in the August Newsletter.
Now I have to figure out my chores for the day, LOL, I hate when things happen to disrupt my plans for the day!
Back to email.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/d/zones/kellys-missions/
It's Errand Day AND time to declutter your plastic wraps and foil drawers, cabinets or shelves.
I have been busy, earlier while I was reading the paper, I made a big list on the ads page, LOL. So I have transferred that to a slip of paper and got started on some of it.
I needed to refill my night pills so that lead to me cleaning out the drawers of both the nightstands. I also was planning to order meds today so needed to confirm which ones I actually need. It is so weird how I end up with multiple bottles of one kind when I order them when the Pharmacy tells me to, and then I am short on others.
There is some sort of shortage on my thyroid pills so I only get 43 at a time, annoying but apparently Kaiser's preferred supplier is having manufacturing issues. So odd. Anyway, it is on my list to order some other meds.
I got the kitchen cleaned up and the dishwasher running, I wanted that done before the energy peak due to our Heatwave.
I was planning to do laundry, then I saw it was going to be HOT, and our laundry room is up on the third floor and even tho the AC is running it is hot up there with all the dryers going. So I have just sorted it and have it ready to go ... maybe i will get up early tomorrow and knock it out.
That's it for now, off to clear email, do a chewy order, order the meds, see if I still have OTC money to spend and catch up on social media.

OTC stuff ordered, meds orders, chewy ordered and I called on my Newspaper to change to digital and they offered me 13 more weeks at the current rate - which is also toooooo high. I had said if they raised it again I would cut off the delivery even though I do enjoy a hard copy of the paper.

It's Clean your Car and Purse Day AND time to check on the cleaning supplies and things under your sink.
Today I guess I will work on some more of my list and I have Bingo at 2pm. For now it's time to read the paper, play some games, decide if I should do a load of laundry or delay til next week.

Won one game, had to share the pot so only $2.40; then had a fun chat with both managers. We got a note in the Suggestion Box that said " Elderly people don't like a change in routines", signed Seniors. Hahahahaha, we were chatting about how people here are so amazing, entitled and demanding.
Based on our chat yesterday I talked with the other board member at Bingo about shutting down the resident council. I am not planning to run and if no one else does, then it is easy to shut down. We wont' be doing Holiday Bonuses, Carlton is enforcing their policy of no bonus/gratuity. I have no problem stopping that so there really isn't anything left for the RC to manage, other than crazy residents.
So we shall see if anyone else steps up to the plate to run the RC.
Now I have managed to get the trash out, the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, reflled the water bottles, watered some outside plants and taken the cans out to the balcony.
Oh yeah, I did get a Safeway order and have gotten that put away and the bags dealt with. And I just finished my Lazyfit app, so now it's time to play.
And finish clearing email and catching up on social media.

You've done a good job, Dipo. I think it is likely nobody will volunteer to replace you. When management tries to get somebody to replace you, lobby for concessions and compensation IF you are tempted to accept.
