Cleaning up the apartment!

Then going to sleep, its my last night on my shift, this week!

I got a team and schedule change at work, so I'm trying to adapt!

– Exercise
– Pull out winter clothes and store away summer clothes
– File away some documents
– Clear the dining room table
– Start the final stage of unpacking now that the pew is in its place
– Give myself a Mani/Pedi
– Send out some cards
– Check out the BFP marketplace
– Revise my grocery list

Won’t be able to do everything, but I’ll knock off some things from this list today and will get to the rest this weekend.

Heading to Port Orchard today to do some "stocking up" grocery shopping! Hope to find someplace tasty for lunch along our way...:eating:

grocery shopping
dollar store shopping
all my diy projects are getting done and when I say diy, it means I am putting up shelves and decorating without femme directions
also downsizing more, donating and throwing away junk

– 2 grocery store pickups

Medical appointment down in Tacoma WA...

Catch up on dishes, with the kids out of town and no one to see I've really let things pile up.

Inventory food stores/count and rotate cans

Clean/disinfect bathtub and launder shower curtain

Make out Christmas card and holiday gift lists

Renew license

Measure for things - curtains, shelving, freezer

Look online and search for bedding to gift myself for Christmas

Play laser tag with/exhaust Monte. Give him his beauty, spa treatments – mani/pedi, blow out/comb out, relaxing massage. Feed him a hearty meal. Then let him sleep good and hard for hopefully a long rest. He likes to “help” me with can chores if I don't zonk him out and I'd like to do it while he's asleep, won't be under foot.

Clean the apartment and smoke some of this delta 8 marijuana.

Labs – I just had them done? I don't know. Maybe they just want to make sure I'm taking my Xanax not selling it.

– give myself a mani/pedi
– finally hem the sheer curtains
– start reviewing my medicare supplement
– Send Rick a list of things for him to tackle next

The house is clean, so all I really want to do is work on crafting. I'm working on an embroidery project for an elderly neighbor, and something for my mother in law.

Fall Saturday in the South=College football

Last day to sign up is approaching soon. Like, Monday the 15th. All you have to do to be included in this Holiday festivity, is drop me a private message with your address. We have a really good fun group happening now!

Can hardly wait to get the list...:hamactor:

Agenda
 

Get my cards ready to send out next month. Wrap the little stocking stuffers I got for the little one . I wrap all of them before I stuff the stocking as I know kids love to open presents no matter how small LOL. I finally found a box to put her snow globe in. Her stocking has a snowman sewn on the side of it. Slippers for all three when they visit. Once that's wrapped I have to order some other things I saw.

We wrap stocking stuffers too - no peeking. Mom started that tradition. One year dad put a lump of coal in each of our stockings. The next year we dumped all his stocking stuffers out then filled it up with Kingsford briquettes. Now that I think about it we should have been nicer because the year he gifted us coal was the only year I can ever remember him not intentionally trying to piss mom off by inverting the crucifix – There I decorated for the holiday, happy?

Got the list, got the cards all written, but I do think I'll wait until after Thanksgiving to mail them out........:gotmail:

Clean off hallway bookcase
Make a small pot of chicken and dumplins
Wash a few dishes and clothes
Watch or listen to football
Maybe run into town to Lebo's
Pretty low key day

Given I have the day off:

Finally wrapping and securing the furniture, etc. on my back deck for winter.

A trip to Walmart to buy printer ink and finish off shopping for my adopted "Christmas family".

Organize my home office.

Hook up with my sister's fiance and get my truck back over here. (I had to leave it at my sister's when I picked up my new car) Wait - scratch that - he has to work today - so that will be a no go.

I am sure there are other minor things - dishes, etc.

awwwww. I am mad that I missed this. I need to log in here more than once a couple of weeks or whatever. I hope everyone has a great exchange!

Watch the maintenance guys work in my apartment, to see if i need a new water heater, fix the pressure in the bathroom sink, shower and toilet.

also they gotta clean up the mold and other issues caused by a leak from the improperly installed water heater, in the unit above me.

then i have to take the rest of my steroid medication pack for the day, after i got a toradol and dexamethasone shot yesterday to help with the pain, thats been going on for 11 years.

then a trip to the smoke shop

Well I have to go to work tonight at 7pm. I’ll need to get a nap in later but right now I’m wide awake. Clean the house a little, laundry, clean up after our 16 year old Boston Terrier who is blind, deaf, and has doggie dementia. Push myself to get out of this funk and try to LIVE life…….

Well, I am starting a new job next Monday so I have a lot of things to get out of the way before then - so this all will be spread out over the next 4 days:

Laundry
Barber
Grocery shopping
Deliver gifts I purchased for "adopted" Christmas family
Organize this disaster of a home office I am sitting in
Wrap furniture on the back deck
A/C unit is out of the window - now I have to box/wrap it for winter

I am sure there is more - things will pop up as I go along, as they usually do.

Got most of the chores out of the way this morning so that just leaves a load dishes and a couple loads of laundry. Having lunch now, afterwards some grocery shopping, card games, YouTube. Later tonight, Christmas prep stuff and a movie.

i'm not sure, something fun:alieninjar:

I'm going to pick up a dear friend's teenage daughter to take her out to lunch and give her a gift card to Advance Auto for her birthday. Then drop her off at work.
Then back to my sister's to pack a small bag of necessary items for my over night(s) stay in the hospital starting tomorrow at 8am.
Help my sister make dinner.
Spoil my doggy before I leave tomorrow.
Get a long hot shower and have my sister French braid my hair so I don't have to mess with it a couple days.
Maybe take a short hike while the sun/sky is still pretty.

Oil change! My poor Tundra has been screaming for an Oil Change for many many miles!
Tomorrow morning I need to be waiting at the shop when they open the door.

– exercise
– get my 2nd booster
– pick up some cherry cough drops
– give myself a mani-pedi

I spent a few hours this morning getting the apartment organized, cleaned because I had a work order in and wanted things to be pleasant for maintenance when they got here. Our crew is so nice, friendly, helpful, pleasant to be around. They took care of the issues I was having with the washing machine and dishwasher, finally. I've had other guys out and, well they tried, hard working, but I still needed this pair to have a look.

Anyhow that took up a large part of my morning, early afternoon. Didn't feel like doing it but afterwards forced myself to break down, clean Monte's water fountain – disgusting! The water here is so hard. Everything gets all scaly and nothing works. I think to get the hard water build up crud off I'd need a file or steel wool and that would damage the plastic. I think I'm going to just toss it and get something new, maybe a stainless steel, fountain type.

With that out of the way spent some time on the computer. Now I'm getting ready to place a Walmart order. It's been a busy day and Monte and I both skipped lunch so I fed him and now that he's down for a nap it's time to think about feeding me. I've pulled out some hamburger, waiting for it to thaw. The kids defrost things in the microwave but I always wind up cooking the edges rock hard and the centers stay raw no matter what I try so food poisoning be damned I'm just doing it the old fashioned way, so far it hasn't killed me yet.

FSF??? Have you tried this hard water remedy? Add some White Vinegar, slowly, to Baking Soda, in a cup, until it forms a paste. Spread the paste onto affected areas and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Then take a non-scratch micro fibre cloth to clean the paste from affected surfaces. Should come clean without too much effort.

:tea:

Maintenance turned up temp on the hot water heater and in a blink after just one load of clothes, and one of dishes it was gone. If I'd have tried that maybe I might have been able to spare maintenance a trip out. Well next time. I'm sure it will come in handy a lot in the future though. Afterwards I cleaned both the fridge and the freezer and used it on some spots, because who wants toxic chemical crud around their food, and it worked like magic. Thanks for the tip!
