Saturday ... a day for fun and games ...
I just finished brewing the coffee, cleaning up the kitchen and getting the dishwasher running before we hit peak energy time.
Also reset my new tablet so I can get rid of it. I don't like it and when I went to check on it I found others who said it had problems. So it is cleared and I will rebox it and send it off to Goodwill.
I need to go place a dinner order for 6pm pickup, deal with my email/socials and see what else I need to get done today.

Sunday ... another day for fun and games
I unloaded the dishwasher while the coffee brewed and I made a nice egg/sausage breakfast. I love that I can make toast in my air fryer.
Anyway, now getting ready to go down for Bingo at 2pm and apparently we are having Root Beer Floats at 1.45.
Off to clear email/socials while I fix my face!

Fun Bingo and we had Root Beer Floats in Honor of National Root Beer Float Day.
Didn't win, came close a few times but I won a lot a couple of Sunday's ago and the music was good.
Working on email now.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Home Blessing Day AND we are in the Master Bedroom, spend 15 minutes under your bed to get the things out that have been shoved there.
I worked on the balcony, grabbed a bin to put the spring/summer decor in, found the one bin was pretty shattered around the bottom - so that is trash. I have a bunch so no big deal, just grabbed another one and shifted the empty bins to the top of the pile. Then I swept and cleaned up the balcony since it might rain soon. Now I just need to water the jade plant, it was looking a little peaked.
Then brewed the coffee and cleaned up the kitchen, unpacked the chewy box, updated the food logs and chores to be done.
Now it's time for email/socials and anything else I get around to. Oh, I opened the boxes because I was planning to take the newspapers and other recyclables out so now I have a plastic bin to fill and can take that was well.

Re-binned all my office supplies and cleaned out the desk drawers to put all the excess supplies that I don't really use anymore into the new bin. It holds a lot more than the old one I was using.
Found my old Covid Vaccination Card, so funny! I shall file it with my important papers.
Watered the two outside plants that were pretty dry, we are supposed to have "rainy days", but most likely our rain will be drizzle.
email is done, but time to re-check socials for any crazyiness that has happened since this morning.

A little bit of a off day. Got all the bulk throw away items out yesterday and today and our trash service came by and took all of it away. Then a run to the bank to deposit our proceeds from the garage sale. And finally a couple of runs to Salvation Army with the items left over from the garage sale. Still not sure exactly when the window replacement will start so we’ll probably tackle just some small projects for the next week or so.

Wednesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Anti-Procrastination Day - guess I need to get my fall decorations up, LOL AND time to clean up the nightstand, clear off all the "stuff" and then dust.
Busy day today, Town Hall meeting where I suggested that the Executive Director give these people a talking to, LOL. They have been naughty, yelling at the Bistro staff and being rude.
I won one game at Bingo last night and we have $5 Bingo tonight. Hopefully my new tablet will come today! My current one is just a nightmare to get charged.
I did get the coffee brewed and now I can finish getting ready then email and socials.

Interesting meeting...they are testing taking out the dishwasher and installing a washer/dryer combo. Once they see if it will work, I suspect a problem since we have old plumbing, Residents can opt in for an upfront fee to have the washer/dryer.
Also they are increasing the housekeeping time. Jon, ED, said that the housekeepers should be cleaning the inside windows, everyone laughed. I had already mentioned in one of the Safety meetings that the Housekeepers don't clean the blinds. Nacho, thier boss, was surprised by this. I think the Carlton he came from they did all this cleaning and we haven't had a good Housekeeping Manager for at least 3 years. So that should be interesting.
Had some lunch and now I am working email/socials.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Errand Day AND time to deal with the dresser, get rid of anything that is not necessary!
Brewed the coffee, cleaned up the kitchen, dumped all the extra padding/stuff that came with my new tablet. Love it! I was right to get rid of the one I had trouble getting up start up. This one was ready to use in about 15 minutes.
My back is bothering me still, so I got out a back brace, hopefully that will solve whatever problem it has.
Working on all the little piles I ended up with at my desk, I need to open up my new watch, read the paper and do the hallway decorations.
Off to do email/socials.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND time to remake the bed!
Got the coffee brewed, read the paper and played some games. I have Resident Council today, not much to report so hopefully it will go fast.
Not sure what the rest of the day will entail, I will pick up my mail when I go down to the meeting. Probably had some things to deal with there.
Main goal is to get rid of trash/boxes/newspapers and redo my hallway decor to fall.
Off to email/socials.

Saturday ... a day for rest, fun and relaxation ...
Been relaxing all morning, but finally up and about. I did open up the balcony this morning so Nala could go lay in the sun but I just grabbed the paper and yogurt and crawled back into bed.
Brewed the coffee, cleaned the kitchen, got the dishwasher running, loaded up the rollie with all the newspapers and a bag of litter to take out to the bins at some time. I mignt pile the boxes on top too, LOL.
Now working on email/socials and other stuff.

Sunday ... a day for reflection and reading ...
I brewed the coffee and while doing so I put up the Fall/Halloween decorations, changed to the fall wreath and binned up the spring stuff.
I need to grab the Thanksgiving Board out of the storage room so I don't forget to put it out next month.
Skipping brunch, don't care for the options, will make some eggs and sausage later.
Off to read the paper, play some computer games. OH, I got my sister's Christmas gift - a little more than I had planned to spend but it goes well with the T-bone steak I have in the freezer for her. It's a no-stick Titanium Pan. She cooks breakfast everyday, so it is perfect for her. So all my Christmas shopping is now complete.

It's Home Blessing Day AND time to spend 15 minutes getting rid of anything that does not belong in your living room.
Oh my, I have a bunch of that, guess that is my task for the day, LOL.
Just getting started so I will go make the coffee and take out a round of trash that is sitting on the rollie waiting to go.

Good grief, I started the coffee and then took out my newspapers, cans and plastic recycling to the bins. Plus a couple of boxes and one bag of trash.
It took me 15 minutes to clean the trash out of the recycle bin in order to put real recycling into it! So disgusting and annoying. Came back and washed my hands thoroughly, then shot off and email to the front desk about the situation.
Then I wrote a scathing opinion piece for the newsletter, LOL. Not sure it will stay in or not but I was so pissed off, then I sent an email to the manager to get some flyers from the recycling company to hand out to these fools.
So my living room only has a plastic tub full of cardboard boxes that need to be recycled but there is no room for them in the trash room.
Off to do some calming things like email/socials, LOL.
