7 more days of school

-

 and I am so excited I can't stand it. Seriously. I am. Mentally I have already moved on and am looking at summer and how I'm going to get everything I want to done. 

Things I want to do over the summer: 

  • Start getting some orders in my store
  • Finish Fairy tale by Stephen King
  • Read Building Thinking Classrooms
  • Watch the template video from Weibert Science
  • Go through the entire Patterns Chemistry course and lay it out for next year
  • Get the notebook set up to match the Patterns course
  • Relax in the pool
  • Take it easy
  • Recharge

Lots I want to do and I only have 9 weeks to do it all. Plus, we will be going to Yellowstone for 9 days in there. Yeah, as much as I want to lay around and do nothing, I'm going to be busy this summer. Of course, I can lay around and read - that's not so bad. 

I also want to work out regularly. I need to go to the gym or do some cardio every single day. I got a new left controller for my Oculus and that is definitely better. I have also ordered a workout journal. The difference with this one is it lays out the workouts for you. That's what I need. Someone to tell me what to do. I just struggle so much when it's left up to me. So that journal gets here today and I want to start using it right away. The workouts are for dumbbells so I can do them at home. So excited. That will be high on my priority list all summer. 

There are also a ton of little things I want to get done. I need to get this room organized and straightened out. I want to investigate the costs of a she-shed. I want to get the NoxBox done and I need to look into a will. I don't want Chris and Jenn to struggle after we are gone. So yeah, lots and lots to do. 

But I really can't do much of that now, so why dwell on it. Today I'm going to work on engraving acrylic and mirrors. I bought some cheap acrylic and mirrors to practice on and I'm excited to get started. I also need to sublimate the stoles for graduation. That will be fun. 

Okay, I'm done. I feel better now that I have 'dumped' my brain and I need to get Mavy walked before it gets to hot. I'm off.

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.
