Not a bad start

Indeed, it was not a bad start to my 1000 days of trying to complete 101 tasks. I didn't bite my nails all day and I even tried to a little bit of exercise to help my foot. Mostly I am just preparing for what is to come on Tuesday at 2.30 when I go for my first physio appointment. I am excited but am dreading it also. I know that it will help me but I also know that the Physio person is going to push me and it's going to hurt.

Incidentally, although not on the list, I done something semi productive today. I made draught catchers for the house. Made them out of old tights that I was no longer using. 

I also remembered to update my journal today including a thankful thought. I changed one of my goals from Prove Facebook wrong to Maintain Journal for the rest of the year with no breaks. Good start I reckon. I also started reading the first of the ten Rangers Apprentice books. Not actually a bad read so far, you start to really relate to the characters almost instantly.

Currently at the moment on my list I have like three things marked as In progress and tonight I managed to mark one of my 101 task off as Completed. I went onto 4chan for the first time. Now note on my list I wrote "Go on to 4Chan" I did not write that I would spend any amount of time on the site and I also never specified that I would read anything in particular on said website. I said I would go on to it, I did I spent two minutes there and I left. Task complete.

Hmm so only another 100 items to go. I have reviewed my list and I wonder about the bungee jump. Will have to ask my physio if that will actually ever be possible. I would hate to go through a whole heap of healing to then go break my ankle again, that would suck. Although I reckon it would suck more never doing the bungee jump. Hmm, this is the only item on my list that has me wondering. I would hate myself if I didn't complete this.

So to summarise: I didn't bite my nails today, I made draught catchers, I done some exercises, I went onto 4chan, started reading the book series and wrote an entry in my journal. Pretty good start, kinda loving that the list has sparked a little bit of something in me again.

Starting now

One of my goals on my list of 101 things to do is to stop biting my nails and the skin around them and I am starting now 30th April 2011. I probably won't grow them very long, but I will stop biting them and I will start to look after them. You heard it here first. Let's see how long I can go. I have tried so many times to stop with the biting and I am hoping this time I actually succeed. It would be ever so nice to be able to paint my nails and not have them looking and feeling like total crap.

Wish me luck people :)

101 goals in 1000 days

So, I recently found out, through one of the blogs that I read, about this website www.dayzeroproject.com. The whole point of this website is to list 101 things you would like to do within 1000 days. I thought it would be dead easy to think of 101 things that I wanted to, as it turned it out...not so easy took me like two maybe three hours to think of 101 things that I could achieve in 1000 days. One of the great things though is that you can mark things as In Progress, which at least shows that you are trying. I will do these things. Although I noticed there is a lot of reading on my list.

Also on a side note I am tempted to try AdSense on this blog, see if I can't make a little bit of cash for my dribblings :)
