Optimistic October: Day 7 - Disavoidance

Today's Optimistic October challenge is sponsored by My First Day Off In Months and The Obligatory Encroaching Headcold. Nevertheless I powered through the aching neck and sinuses and did some stuff.

I've been coveting folding bikes for a while and, having received an unexpected sum of monies from an undisclosed benefactor (or, if you like, a birthday gift from my grandparents) I decided to head out and buy myself one. This may not seem much like a "project or task" but it intersects with at least three broader projects lose weight, get fitter, and spend less. I hope.

Anyway, I went to the shop I've spent months choosing to purchase the bike I've spent months researching only to find the cycle section practically bare and having a refit.

So I went home and did some washing up and vacuuming and changed the bedsheets instead, which are all tasks residing under the housework project, which is something I generally tend to avoid as much as possible.

I also responded to some work emails, which isn't the best thing for a day "off", I grant you, but that will hopefully contribute to the inbox 2000 project*.




What did you get up to?
