It's the final weeks

-

 and I have not had the energy to really workout much. It kind of comes with this time of year and I just have to give myself some grace. Of course, I won't get a lot of workouts done in June either because I'm having cataract surgery in both eyes. And July we are going on vacation. So my summer of working out and getting fit may not play out as planned. But you know what? That's okay. I'm going to do what I can, when I can and I'm not going to beat myself up or agonize over it. It is what it is. 

I did get some cool new weights yesterday though. They are the Bowflex adjustable weights. I've wanted these forever. I was thinking about quitting the gym, but I will use these to get started and then when I don't have time to get to the gym. I am determined to make working out a regular, consistent, part of my life so I need to make sure I make it as easy as possible. 

We have to run to school this morning. Hubby has to meet some people and I need to get my finals copied and ready to go. Then I have an appointment with my doctor to make sure I'm good to go for the cataract surgery. Then it's lunch time. After that I hope to work on my crafts for a bit. Oh, I also need to finish the stoles for graduation - that's priority. 

Tomorrow we are supposed to get together with some friends. I'd really rather not, but Hubby likes hanging with them so we will. 

Sunday I have to meet the kids at school for the senior prank. I have a couple of teachers coming to help keep an eye on everyone. I think it will be fun. 

Then it's finals week. Testing all week. Grades are due by Friday. Thursday is the awards ceremony and check out. I hope to be done by Thursday. I hope to collapse on Friday and not do much of anything, except perhaps craft. 

I've been giving a lot of thought to my business. I think I've decided that I'm going to focus on the art side of it. I'm not going to do big orders, I won't accept any orders over 10. I'm going to try and focus on the art pieces and create and sell those. I think it can be done if I really focus on that. 

Oh, the time has flown. I have to run and take a shower and then walk the dog and then head to school. Laters......

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.
