Almost

but not quite yet.

Next week is my last week of freedom. I have one more week left to get all the things done that I wanted to in the last 8. Ha.... I have actually accomplished quite a bit. Not near as much as I wanted to, but I think I overloaded myself, so I'm okay with that. The main point of summer is that I had a fabulous time. I rested. Relaxed. Swam. Ate. Drank. And partied. It was a freaking amazing summer.

So next week I will go into my classroom and start prepping it for the new year. I will also start to get things organized since I didn't get as much of that done as I would have hoped.

Then the following week I have the AP Biology class. I'm really looking forward to that, it should be good.

Then the week after that I return to work :( 6 days of teacher stuff and then the kids come back on Wednesday. Luckily we only have them for 2 days the first week. But then it's boom, back into it.

In non-school news, I have been working out regularly and already starting to feel amazing. It is unreal how exercise makes you feel so good. So I have got to keep it up once I go back to work. I'm waffling between going super early in the morning, like 4 am, or after school. As hard as it will be, I'm really leaning towards the early morning. Plus I only have to get up early 3 days a week. I would go Monday and Tuesday, take Wednesday off, and then go Thursday and Friday. But I don't work Fridays so that is not a problem. If I wait until after school, I know that I will skip more times than go. Plus, going after school makes the day longer and I like to come home and relax after school. I'm thinking about trying it next week while I am still off and see how it is. Plus we have to rearrange the dogs in the mornings. We've been taking them to the park all summer, but we will have to start walking them again. They won't mind. So I would get up, go to the gym, walk the dogs, and then get ready for work. That makes for a long morning. But, if my schedule holds, I'll have first period free 2 days a week. That would make things easier. It really is all just a matter of being highly organized and on top of things. I just will have to work hard at it.

Okay, I'm being a bit of a bum today since tomorrow kind of kicks things into high gear. I'm going to lay down and watch some TV.

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.
