1. Zone 2 The Kitchen. In my home this zone comprises the back entry and the laundry area as well. I'm adding the back porch since it does come to my backdoor and serves as the main entry to my home for most everyone. If I do, that will leave me a whole week for outdoor stuff at the end of the month. Of course, the hope is that by then it will be cooler and more comfortable for outdoor work.
My focus areas in the kitchen: cleaning small appliances (coffee maker, mixer, bread machine, toaster oven, microwave, slow cooker.
In the entry, just the usual stuff (put away things that don't belong, wipe down the doors
2. Since I'll be in the kitchen anyway, I'll just go on and work on that inventory of the pantry. I worked on the big deep freeze last week and got it about finished up. Now to tackle the cabinets and the fridge freezer.
3. It's pay week so get our bills paid or at least set up to be paid at the time they are due.
4. Go to Sam's Club to get my membership card, pick up flour and do some shopping for other things. I want to look over pricing on items and be sure I'm getting the best buys on what we typically get elsewhere, including Amazon Subscribe and Save.
5. Go over my Subscribe and Save listo and be sure I actually need what's coming. I've done this once already but there are a few items I need to check supplies of before I make a final decision. I also want to be sure to add any items that might be low.
6. Write a Budget Grocery post. I've bought the groceries, planned the meals and surprised myself with how many meals I can get from what I bought.
7. Try to plan a family day with the grandchildren. Wonder of wonders they all have the same fall break schedule. I know that there are already plans for some of them to spend time with other grandparents so we will see. Nope. Taylor comes in the day the other kids are going out to their other grandparents. Ah well.
8. Make Oatmeal cookies. Katie reminded me that she's been promised Oatmeal cookies since the end of August. I was waiting for her to have Henry so she could enjoy them and then the temperatures were icky high, so I kept pushing off doing any baking. But it's time.
9. Try to do three more jobs on my October goals list this week. I'm not even particular about what they are, just try to do something more so that this month I will feel I have accomplished what I set out to do.
10. Find a second piece to read at an Oasis supper where John and I have been asked to be the entertainment. This was a complete surprise to me to be included. I have one piece ready, but a second one will be necessary to fill the time we're allotted.

Oatmeal raisin cookies were my favorite thing my mom made me post partum! ;)
When I was in physical rehab hospital after the car accident the highlight of my week was an Oatmeal Raisin cookie from Dunkin' Donuts each week. At first Mama would bring them in and when I was on CR (community re-entry) training they would take us over to the donut shop then. I always got one of their oatmeal raisin cookies.
