First day of break

-

 The semester finally ended yesterday. I swear this was the longest 4 days on record. It was the longest semester on record. I left school at 3:30 pm yesterday with all my grades done and everything done. I was so happy to walk away from this semester. 

I didn't get up this morning until 5am. It was wonderful. It started raining around 5:30am and they were predicting that it would rain all day. For the first time in I don't even know how long, I never showered or got dressed. I've been in my pjs all day. It has been amazing. I did some resin work. I sat on the couch and watched TV. I fell asleep on the couch. I worked on resin some more. Now I'm back on the couch watching TV. It has been an amazing day. It has been raining on and off all day and I have been loving it. 

A few posts ago I wrote about how I was feeling so crappy and having difficulty breathing and just generally feeling horrible. After laying around today and not doing much of anything, I'm feeling great. I'm able to breathe deeply and feel better than I felt in months and months. I'm thinking most of the way I felt was because of stress. I like to say that I don't have stress but I think this semester got to me far more than I thought it did. 

It's a little after 5pm now and I'm feeling so damn good. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up the bookcases from Ikea and I'm going to start redoing my craft room. That is my big project for this break. I need to get some better organization and space to work in that room. Tomorrow it begins.

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.
