Break's over

-

Essentially yesterday was my last day of break. I have to go to my new part time job today and then to school tomorrow. Break's over.........

This break was much better than other breaks, but still there is a few undeniable truths about me and breaks:


  • Much as I love staying at home with the dogs, I get bored
  • No matter how much I plan, I just don't move as much during breaks
  • As a result, I tend to put on a little weight
  • I don't like that, but it's the truth
  • I also don't drink as much water no matter how much I try
  • I spend far, far too much time at the computer
  • I nap too much
  • I actually prefer to be working
So there it is, the truth. 
There are just not enough things to do, without kids around I should add, to keep me busy all day. I'm sure if I had little kids I would find things to do to amuse them,but when it's just me and the dogs?.....eh, not so much.

I did not get as much school work done as I'd hoped I would, but that's life. I'm not going to get crazy over it, I'll deal.

I have made huge strides in my efforts to get, and remain, organized. I have a nightly routine for my desk area, that works. I'm forcing myself to put things back in their place when I'm done - I have a horrible habit of just finishing something and walking away. I am getting a place for everything, so it's going well.

Today I go to the tutoring center and learn what I'll be doing. It's not a regular tutoring center, they actually push to the students further ahead, so it should be interesting. The best part is, it pays really, really well. That will be nice, decent money for 1 day a week. Sweet.....

Okay, I'm off to get some things done before I leave.

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.
