Good for my mental health

-

 So I've been blogging almost every day since I started break 2 weeks ago. And I feel a lot better mentally than I did when I started break. I have gotten things done, though there is always still more to do, and I'm feeling much, much better about things overall. Blogging is good for my mental health as it allows me to get things out of my head. It allows me to dump things that are in there and process them or not. So I think I should make it a habit again. Maybe not every day but frequently. I tend to blog in the mornings but there is no law that says I can't do it at night. It's just at night I'm usually kind of brain dead and it's hard to think of things to say. Of course, if I just blog about my day that would work too. Okay, enough. I need to do it regularly and that's all there is to it. 

So I discovered an interesting thing yesterday. It was supposed to be my day to photograph everything. I have PhotoRoom which allows me to take pretty ordinary pictures and turn them into something kind of awesome. So yesterday was my day. I had a plan and everything. I was going to photograph everything and process them in Photoroom. And I mean everything. All my earrings. All my keychains. Everything. So I got started with the big artwork. Now as I'm doing this I realized that I have probably done most of these before. Did I go look and check so that I wasn't duplicating work? No. I just kept doing it. Once I was done with those, I thought about moving my car and getting the earrings and keychain. Then I started watching TV. Then we went and got haircuts. Then we grabbed lunch and I came home and took a nap. Then I just didn't feel like doing it. As I thought about it, I had a little revelation. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing so I was avoiding doing it. I'm not sure how to list my earrings - I have a ton of them. Or the keychains. They are all different. So do I list them individually? Do I list them by style with color variants? How? I don't know so I just avoided doing it. Instead I sat down to finish my biology notebook, which I had screwed up and need to start another one completely. UGH!!!!! Anyway, I found that interesting that I was completely avoiding doing something because I really didn't know how to do it. I have got to stop that. But I guess it's better since I recognized that I was avoiding it and why. Before I would have just said I didn't feel like doing it. So I believe that I'm making progress. 

Other than that it was a lazy kind of day. I did get my haircut which I needed desperately. As I've gotten older my hair has gotten finer and really doesn't hold a style well. But, it is still oily like it was as a teenager so it gets heavy and weighed down if I don't wash it. The stylist put some serious stuff in my hair to spike it and it looked great. But by later in the afternoon it was flat. Oh well, it is what it is. 

Today is the last day of break, well we have Saturday and Sunday but still. Technically, yesterday was the last day of break. But I digress. It really has been a good break. I really feel like myself again and that is awesome. I really was feeling kind of crappy at the end of last semester so this is much, much better. 

Okay, that's all I got for today. I'm heading to the gym at 8am, dentist at 11:30am, lunch with some friends at 12:30 and then off to school to work the basketball game from 3:30 - 5:15.  I am so glad that I saved everything for today. NOT!!!

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.
