It's a brand new day....

I'm freaking out a little bit!! I start teaching on Monday but I don't know exactly what I'm teaching yet. I haven't met with the department head and probably won't until the weekend. She is going to give me the scoop on what I'm going to cover this summer. I kind of know, is a pre-Algebra prep course so I have some idea, but apparently the dept. head has some specific things she wants covered. So I'll meet with her this weekend and then spend the weekend getting things ready for Monday. Luckily class doesn't start until 11 so I have time Monday morning. But I'm nervous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't seem to get back on track completely. I've been busy doing things so haven't had a chance to really work out in a week or so. I've spent a lot of time on the road so I've eaten more junk food then I normally do and that is not good at all. If I keep it up I'll be asking where to buy nuphedra. Yesterday before class I stopped at Starbucks and had these little vanilla bean scones that I just adore. They are so good and they are tiny so you can buy 3 of them. I ate them as I walked to class and last night I had a blood sugar reaction and I realized how much I hate feeling that way. I don't know how to explain it but it feels like bugs are crawling through my veins and I'm shaky and kind of sweaty. UGH!!! It's horrible. So I decided I'm done with that. I don't like that feeling and I know how to avoid it so that's that.

As for exercise, I'm going out this morning. I'd like to run but I'm only asking myself to walk. I sprained my ankle over the weekend and don't want to push too hard. So I'm heading out shortly and going for a nice walk or run if I feel up to it.

It's a holiday here in Hawaii, King Kamehameha Day. So the banks and all the local stuff is closed. I have to hit the thrift stores. I got all the books I'll need for teaching in the fall and I need a place to put them. I have a work area in the living room so I'm going to pick up a small bookcase to put all these books on. So I'll be looking for something that will work there today.

Alright, that's it, I'm done. I'm going to go for a walk now.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
