What is important to me

-

 I need to figure out exactly what is important to me and what I really want. I know I've done this before, recently, but we are now back to school and the entire schedule has changed. It was easy to stamp my foot and say that is it when I am on break and have all the freaking time in the world. Now that I am back to school, it is time to rethink it all. 

I need to dissect my schedule/routine and see what I'm working with:

4:15 am                 Wake up, bathroom, brush teeth

4:20 am                 Empty dishwasher, make coffee

4:30 am                Wake Hubby, meditate

4:40 am                Bathroom break

4:50 am                Shower, dress for walking

5:05 am                Walk Mavy

5:30 am                 Get dressed, pack lunch, make more coffee, etc.

6:00 am                 Leave house

This puts me at school at around 6:30 am. My contract states that I need to be there by 7 am. So I theoretically have an addition 30 minutes in the morning. What if I set up a quick routine to do for say 15 minutes every morning? I dress to walk Mavy, I could use those clothes to do a quick workout. 

Let's look at the evenings: 

5:00 pm                  Get home

5:15 - 5:30pm         Hang out in pool

5:30 - 6:00 pm        Lay on couch and color or maybe do some Johns Hopkins

6:15 pm                   Eat dinner

6:30 - 7:15 pm        Lay on couch and color

7:15 - 8:00 pm         Clean up kitchen, prep for tomorrow, get ready for bed

So I easily have an hour in the evenings to do something. I don't need to lay on the couch and color over and over and over. Yes, it feels good to lay down and relax. It also feels good to shut my brain off and just do something mindless. But is that really necessary? No!!!

Okay, I'm going to put together a short routine to do in the morning. And I'm going to get back into Supernatural in the evenings. I'm going to shoot for 20 minutes of Supernatural every day. 

Okay, we have friends coming over, so tomorrow I will put together a plan for the week. I just have to make it a habit. Once I work it into my routine I will be fine. But I may have to force it for a little while.

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.
