Distracted by shiny objects

We have a busy "house" week ahead of us...friends are coming over on Friday and the dude's mother is staying the weekend. The upstairs needs a clear and safe path to get to the bed and other rooms need to be straightened up.

Instead of doing those activities, I decided yesterday to work on projects that do not help to accomplish the end goals.

Touched up painted ledge in mudroom

Waxed kitchen floor (hoping guests will be blinded by shiny ugliness)

Painted top of upstairs half wall

Ignored mess on other side of half wall
