That was a short line

-

 My 'line in the sand' lasted exactly 2 days. Then it fell apart and I haven't been able to get it back together since. So it's time for a new strategy. My plan was to exercise after work, before dinner every night except Wednesdays which are my late nights. So Wednesday was going to be my designated rest day. I was only planning on doing 15ish minute workouts just to get fired up about working out and get back into the habit. So, rerouting...........  

What's been getting in my way is my laser engraver. I come home from school and jump into that thing and it's over for the evening. So clearly I need some boundaries and some balance. 


If I jump into the laser as soon as I get home, little else gets done. Also, I run the risk of staying up too late and then not getting enough sleep. So a slight plan adjustment is necessary. 

I will not craft on workdays

I will not craft on workdays

I don't have a lot of time during the workday. I get home around 4:30-5 pm. Then I have to walk Mavy, that's another 20ish minutes. Then I have about 45 minutes to an hour before it's time for dinner. Then after dinner I only have about 2hours before it's bed time and about 20 of that is taken up with cleaning the kitchen. So, bottom line, if I want to workout I can't craft there is just not enough time. So I need to internalize that and make it my truth. I can't run my engraver while I work out, there is some smoke and smell to it. I can't do my sublimation while I work out because it needs my attention. So working out and crafting are completely incompatible. Since I really and truly want to work out, I will have to forego crafting during the week and just save it for the weekends where I can dive in for hours at a time. 

Okay, it's a sad truth but it is the truth. Besides, in just another week I will have all the time in the world to craft. It will be Christmas break. Yay!!!!!

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.
