Finally Doing It

qosI just finished painting noxious goo over 2/3 of the carpet adhesive swirls left on my office floor. Barring unforseen complications, I should have the damn project finished in less than two hours: 30 minutes to wait for it to work on the adhesive, 20 minutes to scrape it up, 2 minutes to cover the last adhesive, another 30 minute to wait, 10 minutes to scrape it up.
Then I use Mr. Shop Vac on all the bits of scraped paint/adhesive/goo left on the floor, then scrub it completely clean. Which will take more effort, but that's a separate stage in the project.
It's not a fun chore, but certainly not worth the more than a month of avoidance I've been putting into it. And I really need that space.
I need to get over my stubborn resistance to housework and household chores. It doesn't serve me in any way.

There's so much more to do with my time!
