Workouts, crafts, and my thoughts

-

 So after my 'put my foot' down post the other day, I started, or actually restarted, my Project Me page. I like having a place to keep all my workouts and such in one place. I like to look things over and review and see how things have changed or if I'm not pushing myself hard enough. So I worked out on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is my designated rest day. Thursday I jumped into crafting and didn't even think about working out. Friday I took Mavy hiking. Yesterday we were up and out really early for a Saturday and when we came home I jumped back into my crafting. So far it's 3 out of 6 days and every day I took Mavy for a walk in the neighborhood. So not spectacular, but a good start. One thing I am not doing is beating myself up for any of my choices. And everything is a choice. So these are all choices I made and I'm not going to get crazy over them. I'm just not. What's done is done, let's move on. 

As for my crafting. I finally got everything for my laser engraver and then yesterday I couldn't make it work right. Ugh!!! I was starting to get really frustrated and had to walk away from it. I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong. I know that I don't know the program very well, but it looked like I didn't have some options on the control panel. Oh well, today I will play with it again and see if I can figure it out. But once again, I'm not going to beat myself up. When these things happen I'm just going to take a deep breath and see if I can figure it out. No frustration or nonsense necessary. 

So today is football Sunday so that means chores and crafting for me. Right now I'm going to figure out what  I'm going to do and I'm going to restart my laser computer.

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.
