New weekly focus

-

 The new weekly focus has posted at DMSC and I'm not even sure that I want to watch it. I just went and checked and the topic is fear, worry, and anxiety. I've got it on right now and I'm just going to listen while I type this. One thing that I know I've dropped the ball on is my planner. I've not really used it as it should be used in the past few weeks, maybe months. One thing I know is that when I use it regularly my life rocks. It's just something that helps me keep on track with the things I want to do. Otherwise, things fall through the cracks and I can let apathy and depression creep in. Can't let that happen. So today is a planner day as I do other things. I am making stickers for the little boxes in my planner so that I have titles for the boxes. I like using the boxes but writing in the titles for a whole week, every week is real pain in the butt. So I made some labels this morning and will cut those out in a little bit. Then I will past them in my planner and be set for the week. 

Something else that I need to get a grip on is the budget. I have to get the budget under control and I have to get back into a budget routine. Especially now with the business expenses, I need to make sure that I am on top of the money. 

I need to make some vinyl stickers for the new tubs that I bought. I want to make sure I'm super organized for the craft fair this weekend. Also, after this craft fair we are generally putting things away. There won't be many more craft fairs now. Things are starting to shut down for the heat of the summer. Then this summer I will have a bunch of things to do to make sure I'm ready for the fall craft fair season. I have been holding back a bit because of school and stuff, but over the summer I want to crank it up a notch and start getting things going. I also have a lot to learn over the summer. I want to master Inkscape and learn to create my own designs. 

So yeah, lots happening this summer. I'm thinking of also changing up my chemistry. I'm not sure what to do with this. I'm not thrilled with the modeling curriculum. I don't feel that it covers some things well, and things are left to the later part of the course that I think should be an up front thing. There are many other great curriculums out there that are free and approach things in a similar manner to modeling. So I am going to give them a serious look over the summer and decide. I really want to get the notebooks set up for the year and honestly some of these other curriculums meld with the notebooks perfectly. They have all the pieces and it might be a lot easier to blend those together into a more coherent course. I spent a lot of time last year working on the notebooks and then I dropped it completely. So I'm thinking of another way to approach this and that may include a new curriculum. I just feel bad that I spent money for this and now I'm not going to use it. But honestly, if it's not working for me I need to dump it. 

Okay, I'm done for now. Off to shower and walk the dog.

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.
