Just a quick post before I head off to the gym

-

 So yesterday was a good start. Not perfect, but a good start. I got a good workout in, I logged all my food, and for a lazy day I got over 5,000 steps. So not bad. I know I can do better but not a bad start. 

I have discovered something about myself though. I've been making sublimation stuff for a while now. I got pretty good at the tumblers and cups. Then I got the laser engraver. I struggled so much with that initially and I devoted some time and effort to learning it. Now that I'm decent with it - still a lot to learn - I am avoiding tumblers and mugs because I'm pretty sure I've lost the secret. This is definitely not good. So today, later today, I'm going to focus totally on tumblers and mugs. I want to get about 20 mugs made for the craft fair next weekend. So I need to get my butt in gear. I do have a notebook now that I am going to devote to my crafts and I'm going to write down everything in detail. Clearly if I don't do it regularly I lose it, so detailed notes it is. 

Here we are back at Friday and break is essentially over. Sad. But it was a good break. I got a lot done and I learned some things about myself. Also, I'm a tad bored and sort of ready to get back to school and get the last quarter over with. There are only 37 actual school days left in the year. Halleluiah!!!!! I need this year over and behind me. I thought last year was a dumpster fire, but this year has not been a whole lot better. I think this group of students has been drastically altered by Covid and that is really sad. I'm just ready to be done with them. 

Okay, the alarm went off. Time to get ready and head to the gym.

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.
