This discipline stuff is hard work. I really need to figure out how to build it into my "daily routine" which has pretty much gone by the wayside since I no longer jump on the hampster wheel during the work week.
The spouse has been wanting to refinish our kitchen floors for a few years now. We put them in over 20 years ago, and at the time, I really wanted to put in reclaimed wood, which could have allowed the scratches and nicks to blend in. But, instead we put in brand new hickory, which has been lovely.
This floor really does get the most wear and tear out of anything in the house. The exceptionally nice floor guy came back again to reconfirm the (slightly higher due to the cost of materials going up) quote, and learned that even though he's about 5 months out on work, he might have an opening in a few weeks. Lo and behold, we're getting the floors redone in just over 3 weeks.
I realize that since we'll be doing that, the kitchen itself could use a freshening up on the paint, and we will work that in BEFORE he comes to do the floors. Lucky for me, I'll be off at an art workshop for most of the time the actual work is being done, so I can avoid the smell and disruption (yes, there will be no kitchen available during this time, and kitties have to be reworked and kept out of the space).
SO, there's lots of planning, rearranging and actual painting to be done. I see this as another good opportunity to pare down things.
Life will be busy over the next month, as we'll be RE-finishing things.
