Friday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Clean Your Car/Purse Day and "pick your mission", take 15 minutes and do something in your home.
I brewed the coffee, unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it back up and then got ready to go for Chinese Food.
Now I am working on email/socials and gathering up the trash I want to take out. I got all the cat food put away so there are a bunch of boxes that need to be broken down and taken to the trash.
Oh and I need to find an article in the paper that dealt with CPAP machines that I think my friend would enjoy.
Off to email and trash gathering.

Trash is out, the styrofoam box my "Oven Roasted Honey Gold Seasoned Drumsticks" came in. I wanted some chicken that wasn't breaded and it seemed like a good deal on QVC. Plus a big bag of trash, several boxes and a bag of recycling. YEAH! That task is done.
Also opened up the drumsticks and pulled out a few for my friend to try, plus I think the "green tubular vegetables" that I received in my Safeway order are cucumbers so I am giving 2 to her, she will probably eat them, not so sure I will get around to them, LOL.
Back to email/socials.

Fabulous Chinese but they changed owners on July 1st, so our favorite waiter is gone. The put tablecloths on the tables, not a good idea for lunchtime and when there is soy sauce, the prices went up but not that much and the food is still excellent.
Picked up some clam chowder and strawberry cake to go and then got my Chinese leftovers put away.
Email/Socials are up for now.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's HOme Blessing Day AND we are in the kitchen, time to scrub the stove, drip pans and knobs.
I have been busy, got up early to feed Sylvester, got the kitchen cleaned up and dishwasher running. Then read the paper, yogurt and some computer games.
When I finally got up I vacuumed the bedroom and office, cleaned up the bathroom and did some spot mopping. Also got the dishwasher unloaded. Made sure the July Newsletter was final and sent that off for printing. Now I need to do some research for the Wednesday Saftey Meeting.
Now I am doing office stuff adn thinking about lunch, LOL. I guess it's leftover Chinese food for me. Got a Walmart order done, I wanted to get some plastic trash bags since we don't get them from Safeway anymore.
Off to finish up email and socials.

Tuesday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Planning Day AND time to clean out the silverware drawer or another drawer in the kitchen.
Showered, Hair up in curlers for a change, cleaned up the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher, put some corn on the cob in the airfryer and I am in the middle of testing my eggs. Making potato salad is on the menu for tomorrow but I think I need to toss the eggs. So far, one is testing good.
My chores today include researching door stops for the trash rooms since another person in a wheelchair got trapped for a bit. They aren't really big enough to turn around and this it the second time it's happened. I have the safety meeting, so I am putting together a little report with visual aids and costs. Panic button, overhead door slow closer things, stop that flips down on the edge of the door, or anything else I can find.
Off to deal with email/socials and research.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to clean out the fridge of old food and expired items!
The safety meeting was today so I didn't get all my morning chores done, working on that. I did get the kitchen cleaned up and some coffee brewed, LOL.
Working on email/socials and figuring out what I want to get done today, not that much on my list so far.
Off to email/socials.

https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Errand Day AND time to clean out the plastic/foil drawer.
I've been busy, restocked the bathroom with all the stuff I have been buying and just throwing into the bedroom, LOL. Cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee, remade some ice, refilled water and soda bottles and then did a Safeway order.
Next up is opening a couple of packages and charging the contents, I need to break down some boxes, pay the rent, take the cans, boxes and newspapers out to recycling and maybe I will get around to cleaning the master closet floor!
For now, off to email/socials.

It's Clean your Purse/Car Day AND time to check if you need more cleaning/kitchen supplies.
Earlier I got the kitty dishes cleaned up and the dishwasher started. Opened up the chewy box to get to the new food that Sylvester likes.
Now got the potatoes peeled and on the stove. This made me notice I really need to 409 that back part of the stove where the knobs are. I also noticed the top of the microwave was pretty dusty. Anyway I wiped down some stuff and once the potatoes are done I will do a little more extensive cleaning of the stove/air fryer area.
I do need to put away the cat food but that entails a little moving around some stuff on the second shelf of the catfood cabinet so I will do that as well. Then I need to break down all the boxes and take the boxes, newspapers, cans and trash out to the bins.
Off to email/socials and see what we have for BigBrother.

Saturday ... a day for fun ...
Got the dishwasher unloaded, registered my Halo Bolt, that was an ordeal since they wanted me to scan a QR code, which I don't do. But the biggest issue was trying to find the production code! Finally got it done, LOL.
Put away one of the boxes of catfood, need to open up the second one.
I cancelled my Housekeeping because last night I was feeling all achy and had a slight fever so today taking it easy, I do not want any illnesses, LOL.
So I did do a litte spot mopping in the kitchen, and yesterday I took out a bunch of boxes and recycling. Today I need to take out more recyling and some trash.
Off to deal with socials/email and BB.

Monday's Mission
https://www.flylady.net/daily-mission
It's Home Blessing Day AND time to check your bathroom supplies and add them to your errands on Thursday.
I fed the kitties and opened up the balcony, really muggy out but they are both taking naps. I have my list of chores for the day since I skipped Housekeeping.
First up is to find the pumice stone, grab the 409 and clean the toilet!
But first I am going to go clean up the kitchen and brew some coffee.

Found the pumice stone, I need it to clean the toilet. It gets a ring of dirt around the waterline to quickly so I think it need a pumice. Then I dustbusted the floors and went to make the coffee.
My day is all comboobulated, LOL, oh, I did water most of the balcony plants, refilled that water bottle so I can finish off the ones I didn't get to this morning. Cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and opened up the last catfood box. Now I just need to figure out where I am going to store it.
Got my tablet charging so I can do my Lazyfit. I usually turn it off after I exercise but apparently it didn't turn off, so charging.
Working on email/socials and updating Sylvester's food log. I am thinking it might be time for him to go across the Rainbow Ridge. He wouldn't eat anything all day yesterday, but then this morning he had his kibble and some wet food, so I will keep and eye on him to decide.

Got the kitchen cleaned up, dishwasher loaded, found a spot for the final box of catfood!, and then I brewed the coffee.
Did a Safeway order and got my plans in place. Sylvester seems back to normal today, eating a lot, hope it will continue while I research letting him go. I know Nala will actually like being an only kitty, LOL.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day AND time to scrub and shine the tub/shower.
I had the Town Hall Meeting today and I took 2 Allergy pills, I usually only take one, and I could hardly keep my eyes open! It was so weird.
Came back home and took a nap and now I can get to the things I was supposed to do. I did get the dishwasher unloaded but just now got the dishes all put away. Made some more ice and added ice to my leftover coffee.
Working on email/Socials while I listen to Taran. Also one of the kitties did a BIG throwup of food, normally it's just a hairball but not this time, so I got a dishrag wet and covered it so I can wipe it up.

It's Errand Day AND time to straighten up the laundry room.
Kitchen cleaned up, dishwasher loaded, coffee brewed, water bottles refilled AND I mopped half the room - dripped a bunch of water as I loaded the dishwasher, LOL. I need to sweep the rest and then I can finish it off, LOL.
Working on email/socials. Trying to order a dinner pick up but the website is worse than ever.
OMG, it finally went thru, took at least 10 minutes for a simple order.

It's Clean Your Purse/Car Day AND time to wipe down all the doorknobs / switchplates and other areas frequently touched.
Got the last kitty throwup cleaned up, did a little dustbust of the bedroom carpet, then went to tackle the Kitchen.
First I brewed the coffee then started on the kitty dishes, got the dishwasher loaded and cleaned out the old food in the fridge. Made a bacon sandwich for lunch and I will try out the dinner tonight.
Now listening to Taran's BB update working on email/socials.
Ohm and I opened up the blinds so I can see the sunshine and breeze blowing the trees around.

Sort of mopped the office area. I was doing my Lazyfit and accidentally kicked the kitty water bucket, so water went everywhere. Resulted in a cleaner floor.
Not much else going on, just enjoying a quiet day without the heat.

Saturday ... a day for fun ...
My day has started off not as I planned. Sylvester had a blow-out poop that didn't all hit the litter box, LOL! So I have pulled out the litter box, got the litter rug cleaned up, then swept and mopped where the litter box was - it hasn't been moved in a while so I figured while I was going to replace the rug I should at least mop the floor.
I tracked down another litter rug, then went and brewed some coffe so I can at least have that while the floor dries. Then I will put everything back together.
First thing this morning I did clean up the kitchen and ran the dishwasher.
Now I am listening to Taran, dealing with email/socials and I am packaging my David's cookies into smaller bags.
Off to email.

Got my cookies packaged so they can go in the fridge, got the kitty litter area set back up.
Now I need to do what was on my to do plans for the day, sweep and mop the kitchen, office, living room, but I am tired so I may have a break to play some computer games.
Put the left over pizza away, cookies into the fridge and then I swept/mopped the rest of the office area under my desk.
Now I can have a break

Fun Bingo Day, I came close (needing one number) many times, and I won the Crazy Kite game, got $6.
Then I picked up my order - I did order a ham/cheese sandwich, and I came home with tuna salad, LOL. Also picked up a chocolate pudding and a potato salad - I like my Safeway Reeser's potato salad better.
Also grabbed my mail, drugs and hairspray were there, so I got those opened and put away.
Finishing up Taran and email, then off to bed to finish the paper, computer games and see what's on TV.

I cleaned up the kitchen, loaded up the dishwasher, and then I swept the kitchen and hallway.
Cleared email, did my research and ordered another set of kitty stairs.
I think I am really more affected by the weather than I realized, the weather is weird so I don't feel like doing anything, LOL.
