I’m looking here at the next week’s list and I’m seeing nothing that isn’t already covered on my spreadsheet – except the furnace and that’s not my department.

I’m going to keep getting the emails and checking the list for new ideas or neglected areas – but, frankly, I’m probably too compulsive about cleaning for this system.

have not been particularly compelling.

Lawnmower? Don’t have one.
Greeting cards? Don’t do that
Garage floor? Don’t have one: neither a garage that cars go in nor actually a floor (I will not spend time sweeping dirt. That way madness lies).

The cat goal turned out to be reminding the husband to give the cats their flea meds (don’t think he has though, shall remind again) and cleaning the inside of the cat box. (Ew!)

Tomorrow’s restocking day seems to apply to someone who goes to a bulk store and has extras of stuff in the basement or something. This is not us, we have as much as we are using. We don’t do bulk really, and where we restock (like hand soap) I keep up on that.

Saturday says to dust. I’m on it. No need for a day for that.

Anyway, I’m pretty occupied with CIAGW’s spreadsheet and getting up to 80%. And I’m transplanting and gardening like mad. So I’m busy. But I’m hoping next week’s tasks will be more relevant.

Saturday – car emergency kit. Already got one. So cleaned back porch instead. The furniture back there is now usable.

Sunday – planned dinners. Kind of, sort of, mostly.

Monday – Lawnmower? Ha! I’ll do some garden tool work repair or something tomorrow when I’m already outside. Instead, I took on the idea of the Tuesday cards challenge. I don’t send cards generally. But the chum and I did go out and get birthday presents for the 2 upcoming friends this month. So it’s the same idea.

Yeah, I got ‘em.

A good challenge to be reminded that I really should be doing, so I did.

But then I washed the chum’s bath toys. Gee, do you think perhaps we have a few too many?

This would have been even better if you could use apple cider vinegar. For some reason we have gallons of it, in case of zombie attack, we will be dousing them with it. Back beasts! Feel my tangy fury!

Oh, in case anyone else is like me and doesn’t really know how to do a breast self-exam for tomorrow – here’s a step by step.

Thursday is generally my housecleaning day and we already did a bit of general time yesterday in in law prep.

And since tomorrow is also my facial, I delayed the pampering and instead…. cleaned out and cleaned up the refrigerator.

Not 12 minutes, but no more than 20. The process was much easier than it could have been since it’s nearly empty pre-market run, but isn’t that the best time to do it?

Well timed as the inlaws are coming today and the debris drop off that is our entryway was reaching critical mass.

Much better now.

Only about 5 minutes.

As I said earlier, I do really need to go through my closet in depth, but that needs to wait a few pounds as right now there are many things that I’m not wearing because I can’t. But I could just last year, so it’s not like something from an unrealistic past.

Anyway. I did pull some things I’ve come to loathe this winter and some things I’ve noticed getting too worn.

I am not laying out my clothes for the week though. I hated flylady pushing this, and I hate it here. I refuse.

I’m in.

I liked the first week’s list and I’m a sucker for group momentum.
