Break is finally here

-
The last few weeks have been crazy busy. Even the weekends were packed with things to do. But now break is here and I get a couple of weeks to relax. Yay!!!!  The last few weeks have been interesting. I'm focusing on organization in my classroom and I've been working really hard on that. Unfortunately, I haven't been focusing on anything in my personal life. Just getting through the last few weeks of school has taken almost everything. Ugh!!!

Sticking to AltShift has proved to be somewhat difficult. A lot of which has to do with the way I feel. I feel good. When I feel good I don't feel it necessary to stick to any particular structure. Which is ridiculous since it is that structure that got me to feel good. I did, however, realize something the other day. In the last 2 years, I have gone the longest I've almost ever gone without working out.  I stopped everything when I started AltShift because he said walking was all I needed at first. This was true. But I'm feeling like I need more now. In January Laveen Crossfit is starting up a LaveenFit thingee that is not like Crossfit but more like a workout class. I'm going to give it a try for the month of January and see how I like it. It will be from 6 -7 on Tuesday and Thursday nights, so it's worth a shot. I don't want to do Crossfit again, I get way too competitive with myself and I don't like that at all. But I would like a workout class, something regular that I can do. It just dawned on me that I could workout at home. Yeah, that's probably not going to happen with these dogs.

But I find myself with a dilemma that I've had before and still don't know how to overcome. I can't seem to focus on more than one thing at a time. So for the last few weeks, I've been focused on school and so my financial and personal life has been left to fend for themselves. I don't know how to focus on more than one thing at a time. Maybe if I devote times to certain things. If I can spend the time this break to get school set up for next semester, maybe then I can keep school at school and use my home time to focus on things at home. Anyway, I have to figure this out because I cannot let parts of my life just flounder. One thing I have learned over the years is that if you don't pay attention it will fall apart. Whatever 'it' is.

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.
