Blogging helps

-

 As usual blogging has helped me through my tough time. I can't just bottle stuff up inside of me, it makes me crazy. But talking with someone about some of the stuff in my head doesn't help either. I don't want a solution, I want to get this crap out of my head. Blogging to the rescue. I am feeling much, much better than I did a week ago. I've made some progress in things and I'm feeling like I have a handle on things now. It's not perfect, hello budget, but it is so, so much better. 

Today will be budget day. It is New Year's Eve and I will be damned if I start another year with crap in my head. The last thing I need to get the budget straight. That will happen today. We have nothing to do today and football is on all day, so I plan on working on the budget, cutting some stuff on my laser, and working with the resin - I need to master that damn it. I'm also going to be working on some school work, but I really have that under control now so there isn't a whole lot to do there. I am also setting up my planner, it starts tomorrow. 

Let's talk planners for a few minutes. I am a planner freak. Or should I say a planner hoarder? I love, love, love the whole idea of planners. I'm not so great on the execution of planners. I typically get a planner, use it for a while and then stop using it. But, when I look back at the planners that I have used, the ones with pictures and all the info of my life are the best ones. This year I want to keep a planner, the same planner, all year long. I want to fill it with pictures and memories and all kinds of things. I want to be able to look back at it at the end of the year and remember in detail the things we did. That is one of my big goals this year. I need to establish a bedtime routine where I come in here and spend a few minutes on my planner. I can end the day and start the next. Make some notes to remember the day and plan for the next day. 

While I want to keep my planner for the memories, I also need to keep on top of things. I will be getting a planner for my business and the group I'm in will be having a planning session on the 10th. Then I will plan out the year for my business. Once I get that all laid out, I want to transfer things I need to do to my daily planner. My business planner will be like the roadmap and my daily planner will be where I look for what I need to do. 

Another thing I need to master is robot mode. I can't allow myself to be like, I don't feeeel like doing X,Y,Z or procrastinating like I'm prone to. I need to set these things up and just do them. Whether I do them on the couch while watching TV or come in here, I just need to do them. So robot mode needs to be initiated tomorrow and I can't turn it off for a year. Same goes for my workouts. I need to schedule them and just do them. My goal for January will be to workout 3 days a week, every week in January. That means I only workout 2 days a week after school and the 3rd workout will be on Friday. Since they have classes as early as 5am, no matter what is happening on Fridays, I can get a workout in. They also have afternoon classes on Fridays but that gets a little sketchy. So I just need to do it. Robot Mode. I need to put that on my vision board. 

Okay, I feel pretty damn good about this coming year. I feel like I've made a lot of progress this past year and that next year things are really going to take off. All it takes is some hard work and consistency.

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.
