Needs to be done: this will take me the whole month to do never mind one day...lol
Dishes
Clean the hallway stairs
Clean the kicthen/living room (sweep and mop)
Clean my bathroom
Do laundry
Grocery shop for the week and prep food (for some reason I never do this...)
I'm in the process of doing laundry right now. I also have to change the bed, and rinse out soda cans before they get put out to recycle.
Hand wash bras and panties, put away laundry when it's done, clean the bathroom. This will probably take me all week to do, but I want my living area in tip top shape.

I'm so done with house stuff. Other than folding laundry later, I am BEAT.

Cleaned green bin
Swept kitchen floor

Grocery shopped and put food away
Need to do this week:
Laundry (live in a second floor walk up and so have to brave the stairs to the laundry room in the basement-so I do only 1 or 2 loads at a time)
Wash wig
vacuum
Today is the day I clean house, maybe breaking it down and checking it off one at a time would help?
pick up clutter off floors - including putting bath stuff in bathtub
sweep back porch - give dog fresh water
shake out kitchen/bath rugs
vac around baseboards/edges
vac area rugs - get them out of the way
vac hardwoods, kitchen, bath
mop kitchen/bath
clean bathroom
mop hardwoods
finish in bath
put everything away/back where it belongs
This takes me most of the day but vacuuming/mopping hurts my back so I do it in stages, resting, eating lunch, goofing off on computer between stages.
I started cleaning out kitchen cabinets last week so I need to finish that sometime this week.

- clean out closet and donate old clothes
- fold and put away my laundry NEATLY!!
- get rid of old papers, makeup, junk, etc.
- Clean under my bed.
- Pick up a new lamp and possibly another chest of drawers/storage unit from Ikea.
For some reason I always feel grossed out cleaning my (not so new anymore) apt. I think cause I'm 100% responsible -no sharing of chores-so if I don't clean it, its not getting done and I always think "I"M responsible for this grime build up??? EW"
Anyways, I do regular wipe downs of the bathroom sink and table, take out trash and laundry weekly, but I always have to remember
1.) Cleaning pots and pans
2.) Floors
3.) Bathroom
4.) Putting away the house things I buy
5.) Sheets/pillowcases/blankets
6.) Fridge
and the toilet bowl (gag)

and ate lunch
I let the new drapes hang for 6 weeks to see if the fold marks were going to hang themselves out. They didn't. I'm giving myself til the end of the month to iron the 4 panels (oh, how I HATE ironing!!!)
Tonight is de-clutter night for the housecleaners that come in tomorrow. In order to reasonably achieve this, I need to get three baskets of laundry folded and put away.
In addition, I need to replace the hose on my SelectComfort bed (that dear bunny chewed through) so that I can move back into my bedroom and sleep in my own bed again, and thus get my stuff out of the living room and off the couch where it's been for a week.
