Good morning Flyangels! Need to get some home blessing done by dusting and declutter paper. It’s unbelievable how I can clean off flat surfaces and the next day there’s more. I need to get back to doing a quick paper clean up before I go to bed even if I don’t file it I need to get it in the office.
Monday possibilities:
—dust/swish & swipe/paper declutter🧚♂️
—laundry🧚♂️
—grocery shopping🧚♂️
—practice piano🧚♂️

I don't think we have had anyone come through our front door for years so the front porch will need attention before someone is expected to arrive and use that entrance! YIKES...The dining room will get some attention soon...but probably not today.
Ran errands today and didn't get home till noon. Lunch is done. My first focus is going to be the kitchen sink and counters. After that, we will see.

Friday: spent time in the kitchen...it was tidy last night and tidy now.
Today's lunch will be sauteed onions with atayfee (amaranth greens), bulgur, and black eyed peas with fruit for dessert. Hope to talk to Children and granddaughters this weekend.

Friday was a busy day, would have been good to post my list ahead of time, but...oh well! I did get out to the bank, bought and mailed a birthday card to an old friend, bought a few food items to take to a movie night at a friend's house in a nearby town. (I brought fresh fruit, low salt tortilla chips and some salsa. Rick brought the air popper and made popcorn.) Practiced a few minutes. Got out for a 2.7 mile walk despite hot muggy weather.
Movie night was fun, our theme was B-movies & old sci-fi. (We watched "Big Trouble in Little China" and a black and white space-themed one from the 50's...I've already forgotten the title!)
Saturday possibilities:
--decluttering - finish filing, empty one bag of paperwork ☑️ in progress, didn't finish!
--WW zoom✅
--laundry✅
--reconcile one account & pay one bill ✅✅ did 2
--church-->Sun.
--buy some flowering plants for the garden
--practice✅
--wind down earlier!❌

Carol, we love old B-movies especially anything sci fi. Give us a giant ant from outer space and we’re there. Last night I got freaked out because DH put the new wi-fi mesh extender in our bedroom and when I woke up in the middle of the night I saw flashing that looked like it was coming from outside. I thought it was a police car in front of our house and went running to the window. Finally I realized the extender he put by the window was blinking. We moved it this morning because it’s possible it was too far from the hub.
Saturday possibilities:
—practice
—going to a antique store to get out of the house (super hot so we won’t be outdoors)
—declutter
—update July budget
—go to Walmart or Target for a few items (I really don’t like big stores but we need some speciality face cream I can’t find else where)

Looking forward to the week ahead. Trying to stay caught up with pots, pans, and plastic needing to be cleaned. I see that this coming week is the KITCHEN with FlyLady so...am hoping there will be some tasks to tackle that won't overwhelm but will also help.

Happy Sunday!
Flyingcathy- sorry, had to laugh at the blinking light story...glad you finally have your new internet.
Cathygeha- Even though my kitchen could use some actual "kitchen" cleanup, my focus this week will be on paper pileup on the table, rendering only 25% of the surface usable, and a tendency to pile other stuff "temporarily" on the chairs!
It looks like a beautiful day here. We were considering a bike ride later, but my good leg is still recovering from a bit of a strain in the hip flexor. I should probably take it easy. Perhaps better if I just walk, as I can pace myself better.
Sunday possibilities:
--church ✅
--quick grocery run for items I forgot on Fri. ✅
--make omelette ✅
--decluttering: paper
--laundry
--practice
--wind down EARLIER
