Tracked down one of my fans, LOL, I didn't realize I had but it on the bottom shelf of my nightstand. So I have retired the bedside personal heater for a bedside personal fan. Although I did see it is supposed to go back down to 61 this weekend with Rain!!
Working on twitter and new email.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day ... I am going out to lunch and then pick up some kitty grass at Pet Express. Also it's time to scrub down those kitchen countertops.
I have a list of a few things to accomplish when I get back, but for now I need to finish getting ready to leave the house, LOL.

Excellent Chinese and I had a margarita ... I swear I am going to revert to acholic drinks to get rid of this "illness". No fever, now no runny nose, but still congested in my head and an occasional coughing jag. Plus it really wears me down.
We just went for lunch and then to get kitty grass at the pet store and I was exhausted when I got home and had to take a little nap.
I don't have time for this, LOL! It's annoying me and I have things to do.
I got the comforter changed on the bed so the other one can go to the cleaners since they are having a 20% off bedding sale.
Need to go finish the paper and check twitter.

Friday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's clean out the purse and car day! Plus sweep and mop the kitchen.
I cleaned up the kitchen a bit, got the coffee brewing, opened up the balcony for the last day before the rain returns, and started my minutes /
agenda for the next meeting.
But now I just want to grab my coffee, the newspaper, some yogurt and crawl back into bed for a bit, LOL.

Got my chewy order done, we needed a few treats and kibble; refilled all the kibble bowls.
Time to finish up the minutes and get them off to the printer, then finish up the Newsletter and send it off to the gal who publishes it.
And I have Bingo at 2pm today, so first I think I will go clear email and see what's happening on twitter.

Next month I will be cat-sitting for the first time here, I have never had to prepare an apartment for the housekeeper. They have always worked around my pets. I asked the owner what I needed to do and she said nothing! What am I missing here?

I am not sure what you are asking. Is the cat coming to your house or are you going to theirs? If you are going to theirs, then you would be cleaning up any kitty throw-ups, cleaning the litter box and taking out the poops to the trash, and then cleaning up any foods that are left over.
Since Sylvester has gotten sick he goes thru a lot of wet food, he will eat half and ignore the rest. So I have a trash bag where I scrap the old food and then take out to the trash every day. Kitty food stinks after a while, LOL.
Hope this answers your questions.

Where is Herckle-Perckle when we need her? Remember when she went into pet-sitting and all of us had to give her a crash course in cats?
If she has the cats on self-feeders and self-waterers, and she is not going to be gone long, and she adds a couple extra litter boxes, or if housekeeping handles the litter boxes, you may very well have nothing to do, except go over every day or so and make sure the cats are still alive. Maybe take some cat toys if any of the cats like to fetch, or something on a string if they like to jump and bat toys on strings, If the cats like human attention, you can take over a book to read and have a cat sit on your life while you idly read and dstoke the cat with the other hand. The cats will likely let you know if they need anything. They will understand that you are there as a service worker to take care of their needs.

This posted while I went to find out what the mission is, LOL.
It is Home Blessing Day and time to move into the Living Room and clear up any clutter spots that appeared over the weekend.
I cleaned up the kitchen, got rid of all the old kitty food, started the coffee and then cleaned both litter boxes and opened up the balcony. I think the rain is over!
Time for newspaper and yogurt.

Tuesday ...
Today is normally Planning Day. I don't seem to be getting missions anymore, they have changed to a subscription method which I won't do, LOL.
So today I will be working on recycling, porch decor changes and some other stuff. I need to make an eye doctor appointment.
For now ... newspaper and yogurt.

So I was working in the bathroom and restocking tp and stuff under the sink, so Sylvester went in to check some things out??? Anyway he came running out, hit the water bowl and now I have spot mopped the bathroom. Restocked the towels as well.
Took out the recycling, I tried to take it out Sunday but the bins were full, so that is done. Now I need to get caught up on email, twitter and games.
For some reason my ankle has been bothering me, it hurts on the side but I haven't twisted it or anything. I ordered an ankle sleeve with my otc dollars but decided to wrap it today since I don't have the sleeve yet.

So I checked on Sylvester's refill and they say, no until April 27. We are going to run out before then because the Vet changed his dosage after I got the refill. Called the vet to have them call Safeway and get the pills refilled or put in a new prescription.
Then I called to make an Eye Doctor appointment, I have noticed that I am not seeing as well as I like, and it has been 2 years so probably due for an upgrade. So now I have an appointment on May 2.
I also took out the newspaper recycling and then gave the kitties some new scratcher pads.
Guess I really did do the mission of a planning day, LOL.

Wednesday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
Mission emails are back ... We are in Zone 3 -- Bathroom and it is Anti-Procrastination Day. And time to wash the bathroom rugs, curtains and accessories. Also time to get rid of cobwebs in the guest bedroom.
I have mostly decorating chores today, I need to change the Easter Decoration and put up a Spring Flag, then time to get the winter comforter stored away since I got it back from the cleaners.
I need to follow-up on Sylvester's pills and I may just take a day to stay home and make sure I am well. I felt like I was trying to have a relapse of my cold/crude last night, so maybe allergy pills today.
For now, off to open up the balcony, feed the kitties and grab the paper and some yogurt.

Thursday's Mission
http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Errand Day!! I am going out to lunch, does that count as an errand, LOL. Also time to clean out old cosmetics, perfume and any empty or old cleaning products.
I cleaned up the kitchen by dumping all the old kitty food that Sylvester refused to eat and taking out 2 bags of miscellaneous trash I had gathered. Put the boxes out in the hall so we can deal with them later. Then I made the coffee and straightened up a bit in the bathroom.
My sister is coming so after lunch we are going to rotate the mattress.
Not much else on my list, just need to followup on Sylvesters pills and hopefully Lisa is bringing us some new kitty grass.
Off to finish up email and my "face", LOL.

http://www.flylady.net/c/fp.php?tzm=420
It's Clean out the purse and Car day! AND the email had the same mission as yesterday so I am saying, time to sweep and mop the bathroom floor, LOl>
For some reason I couldn't fall asleep last night, I was tired but took till about 3am for me to actually fall asleep so I am getting a late start. Not much going on except for 2pm Bingo and then MOOSE LODGE BINGO -- I love bingo and cocktails, plus we have cash prizes this time $50!
So I called and Sylvester's prescription has been changed and is getting mailed to me tomorrow, I missed the mailman today.
Cleaned up the kitchen, loaded and ran the dishwasher, sorted out the yogurt that I just shoved, bag and all, into the fridge when I got my Safeway delivery and cut up the old yogurt containers for the trash.
Working on email and my computer games while trying to catch up on the market.
