Critical mass

defined as the minimum amount of a substance required to begin a reaction (kind of).
I have reached it. I can no longer stand certain things around here. For example, when my step-son was here I could not get into this room. As a result, mail started to pile up on the kitchen table. He left 3 weeks ago and I still have not gone through the mail. The stack has gotten larger. Enough, that gets cleaned up today. Also, since we got this puppy this house reeks of pee. We use papers for her and she's pretty darn good but the house still reeks of pee. I hate that. So today it gets cleaned. From top to bottom and I'm buying some puppy pads to see if those help. And now me....I did not like the way I felt yesterday at all and I know it has to do with my a) lack of exercise and b) crappy eating. So that changes today also. First off, no junk food at all. I am going to go shopping this afternoon and I will buy good things to eat - no crap at all. Second, I need to move it, move it. I have gotten into the habit of spending far too much of my Saturday and Sunday with my ass planted on the couch or in this computer chair reading acai reviews. No more. It stops today. I am going to make a list of things to do and I am going to allow myself a specific amount of time to nap/goof off if I want to. Otherwise, I have things that need to get done. One of the problems I have is that when things get out of control - like I feel they are now - I feel the weight of these things on me. This slows me down and causes me to stop. Everything. Just stop. So I need to break off the shackles of the weight of out of control stuff and get moving again. In all ways. I also need to do fun things. I have to have fun in my day or my napping on the couch becomes my fun.  And today that begins. So here's my plan:


  • Go to school for Interview day (bleh)
  • Clean the puppy room - good, really good
  • Clean off the table - file, organize, throw away everything
  • Dance, Dance Revolution
  • Plan for next week
  • Pull out my thesis stuff and start working on that.  
That is today's plan.  In there I will also eat good and drink lots of water.  Okay, now I'm off to shower, get some breakfast and head out to school.  It will be a great day.

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.
