Saturday A day for fun
Housekeeping is coming ... I have everything ready to go except for the bed stairs, bathroom kitty box and a few last minute things in the office.
Got the dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, added a bunch of stuff to the trash bag she takes out each time. I take out the stinky trash daily but the dry stuff I put into the trash can, then load it up on the Saturday she comes.
Got my coffee brewed and had some breakfast so now it's time to clear email/socials.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the bathroom, time to get rid of those shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, etc., that you have held onto but you don't use them!
Brewed the coffee, cleaned up the kitchen, had my Blueberry Pancakes that I got from brunch.
Today I am working on my ballot, doing my research, the League of Women's Voters has a youtube out and there are several other sources. Also need to send my Health Directive off to the Kaiser. And a few more things are on my list.
Off to deal with email/socials.

Today we’re working in the office upstairs. The office really needs a big clean out and reorganization but our immediate goal is to get the window treatments down for the window replacement. That will be the last window upstairs we can handle ourselves. The theater upstairs will have to wait until Friday when the “professional” comes with his ladders, etc. I think there is just one or two windows downstairs left that we can do ourselves so the rest will be done Friday.

Kind of slopped over into the renovations thread but we finished the last of the kitchen reorganization today. Barring eventually getting our much delayed new refrigerator the kitchen is as done as it is going to be.

Wednesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to wash your bathroom rugs, shower curtains and accessories. For the guest bedroom, Get your feather duster and get the cobwebs out of the corners.
I brewed the coffee, cleaned up the kitchen, gathered some trash to run out with the newspapers and working on email.
My Safety Meeting got cancelled so I need to send an email with all the issues I had and I need to finish up my ballot.
The League of Women's Voters put on a meeting and now it is up on youtube. They try so hard and they have given good info but they really could use some help with running a meeting and speaking at one. So far I have figured out several propositions but still have no clue about the three most challenging, 40, 41, and 42. I will have to do a bit more research on those.
Yesterday I got cleaned up the Cubi and got it back in place so I can use it and I changed out my joint supplements back to the ones I was using before my knee got wonky.
Back to email/socials and all the other stuff.

OH and I was woken up to noise and movement on the balcony above mine. Shortly I figured out they were installing pigeon netting - so that explains the mystery of the feathers that have shown up on my balcony, LOL.

EMail and Socials done, also got my health directive sent off to Kaiser, that has been on my list for at least a year!
Sent out my Safety Committee email and I bought a new fitness smartwatch. It has a mesh band so hopefully that will work since I am allergic to the silicone ones.
Finished the Voters meeting, so now I have to research all the judicial candidates to make sure none of them are nuts, lol.
Off to get ready for dinner and $5Bingo later tonight.

Thursday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Errand DAy - and I qualify, I am off to Kaiser for some lab work and my flu/covid shots!! AND its time to take 10 minutes to toss old cosmetics and perfumes. If you have these items that you have not used for over a year, it's time to dump them.
So I am drinking lots of fluids, last time I went to the lab I couldn't provide "a sample", so that is why I have to return.
Once I get home I will do my normal chores, clean up the kitchen, water the plants, and I need to power up my New Tablet. The old one has been having issues for about a year - sometimes I have a hard time getting it to charge, something to do with the port where you stick the power cord, so I purchased another tablet when I saw them on sale.
It's been up in my closet and I think it may be time to pull it down and just get over the frustration of trying to power up the old one.
Also need to finish up my ballot by doing some candidate research. That's about all that's on my list other than clearing email and socials.

Today is cleaning day though very modified as most rooms are basically torn up in preparation for the now delayed window install. No other projects planned for today.

Lab work done, all that water and coffee paid off, then shots are done. The guy told me that I should be getting a covid booster every 6 months and I didn't know that. So I need to add that to my calendar!
Now working on email/socials.

Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/
It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND time to general purpose cleaner and shine those counter tops and bathroom sinks!
Well I went to do a Safeway order and I guess they believe they have upgraded their website, but it's not working. I swear do these people not have quality control units! I worked for one and you don't push out a new build without making sure it works. They asked what I thought, so I gave it a one and said it didn't seem to be working, gave a couple of examples. I will try again later today!
So today I will be getting my new tablet up and working, completing my ballot to drop off - I did all my research and liked the judges, so I am ready to go.
Got the coffee brewed, still need to clean up a bit in the kitchen but I wanted to get my Safeway order in, LOL.
Off to email/socials.

So I went into my trash email and found a Safeway email, I didn't have anything from today, clicked on that link so was able to do my order! I just hope it works on their end.
Got thru email, now off to socials.

A bit of a down day. Tomorrow, weather permitting, is the community garage sale. Carey filled our dining room with all sorts of stuff from cleaning out and reorganizing the pantry and kitchen so she’s doing the garage sale thing tomorrow. Son already took a few things so anything left over goes to the Salvation Army on Monday. Meantime i bought some plywood to make a repair under the kitchen sink and will start on that project late tomorrow or Sunday. I had planned to put that off until the windows were replaced but with that project delayed i have time next week.

Got the safeway order put away, my new tablet is charging, and I sent out my email about the Town Hall. Apparently, the new Resident Handbook has a section called House Rules, it used to be called Good Neighbor Policy. Anyway, the first thing is to be respectful of others!
I feel like my chores are done and I can just goof off for the rest of the day.

Mack and Mrs Mack (I know she is Carey but I got used to Mrs. Mack, LOL) have inspired me to clean out/up my storage unit. This morning I pulled out the bin with fall decor which made me think I should get the boxes down that I haven't looked in since I moved here and toss it, recycle it or give it away.
So now that task is on my list for next week.

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.
