Time to make some hard decisions

-

I've been going to school on financial aid. I've now run out of financial aid and still have about a year of school left. It's going to cost me about $20,000. There is another type of financial aid, but for various reasons I don't qualify. There is one other possibility, but I won't know if that works out for a couple of days, maybe a week. If that doesn't work out, I honestly do not know what I will do. I've had some lenders approach about refinancing the house and pulling out some money. I don't want to do that because I want to save as much for when we move as possible, but that may be an option. Another thought is to just move everything up a year. Forget the Ph.D. and move this summer. Not my favorite choice because we were doing things when we were for reasons. Very good reasons. Sooooooo......I'm kind of stuck and I'm not sure what to do. I hate this......I've spent the morning researching and looking around and trying to get information to make a good decision.....oh well, we'll see what happens.

In other news, I did a WOD yesterday. Wednesday night, I was really feeling like doing a WOD. I've been walking every morning and feeling really good. So I wanted to kick it up a notch. So yesterday morning when I got up, I walked for 15 minutes and then did a little 10 minute AMRAP; 5 push-ups, 10 squat press, 15 sit-ups. I got in 4 full rounds and 28 reps. I was sweating and breathing hard and it felt amazing. Later in the day I could already feel my leg muscles. Oh, oh...... Woke up this morning sore. I mean really, really sore. Yikes. I ended up taking the day off because I could hardly walk. So freaking sore. It feels so good.

That's all I have. I'm kind of down and just want to wallow in my depression. Sometimes I need to do that to see the right path. So I'm off to wallow....

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.
