Another Wednesday

-

 another early rise. I was up at 4am today, so not as bad as last week. I do have things on my mind, specifically little purple chairs. We had to order some new tables and chairs for a room we are turning into a science room and I ordered the wrong chairs. I mean they are not horrible. They are slightly smaller than normal chairs and the room is for 6th and 7th grade science. Oh, they were supposed to be blue but they ended up purple. So yeah, that's weighing on my mind. I will need to come clean about that today to get it off my mind. It's not horrible. The room is for the lower grades and I can sit in the chair relatively comfortably. Also, we do have some extra blue chairs around that could be moved into that room for the larger students - and we do have some. Anyway, I just need to fess up and get it off my chest. 

In other news, I'm really letting things get to me. I'm letting stressors build up and letting the affect me and that is really not good. So, this morning I deal with them all. And they are as follows: 

  • The escape room - I need to call to change the number of people going. I also need to make sure that they all fill out the waiver. 
  • Grades - I have two classes to grade of the labs and I need to get that done ASAP. 
  • Project - I've decided to give them a small chance at redemption by showing me what they have learned about chemistry. I need to get that in Google Classroom
  • The final - I need to finalize the final so that I can create a review of some sort. 
  • And then the chairs.....definitely need to deal with them. 
So that's really not so bad. I can handle all of these things this morning and get them off my mind. If I can get the escape room, grades, and project done, I can work on the final as they work on their projects. 

Oh, I also need to figure out the seniors. I will work on that today also. You know what? I'm going to put this list in my planner so that I don't forget anything. BRB

Okay, it's all in my planner. I don't utilize my planner near enough. I use it after the fact when I should be using it before the fact. Going to work on changing that. I should be setting up my week with the things I want to get done that week and then working from there. I should have an ongoing to-do list to work from. I will figure it out. 

Okay, I think I'm done. Once again, blogging has helped clear my mind and figure out what needs to be done. Off to get ready for work.

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.
