Good intentions......

-

 are what I had when I started up this blog again a couple of months ago. But that didn't work out. But you know what I've learned in my years, if you want something try again. So here we go. 

Good new: The husband is back at work full time and while not complete 100% he is definitely around 99.9% and getting better every day. So that is awesome news. This whole thing with him though has really made me think. If the worst happened to either one of us I don't know that the other would know what to do. So I think it's time to start getting end of life things in order. Not that I plan on using them anytime soon, but......MOMENTO MORI.......you never know when you will leave this life. So that is on my agenda for the summer. Also, we have decided to take a road trip this summer. I'm very excited about that. We are renting an RV and heading out on the road for 10 days or so. We are going to Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and northern Arizona. I am excited and it will be fun to get out. I love road trips.  

Now, let's talk gratitude. I've been tasked to write some gratitude each day this week and since I love going that I want to make it a regular habit. So I thought I would start it here. 

Gratitude: 

I am grateful for coffee. I really love coffee and really enjoy starting my day with it. 

I am grateful for my life. That I woke up this morning to this awesome life I have. 

I am grateful to work at a school with such generous, giving people. They gave up their PTO so that the husband could continue to receive a paycheck while he was sick with COVID. 

I am grateful that I am smart enough to realize when someone is BSing me. There is so much nonsense going around the internet and I'm glad that I am smart enough to ferret it out.

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.
