Sick again

-

 Before I get into that, I have to say that I have been regularly posting on social media for my business. Yay, me!!!! It's not a lot, it's only been a week, but it's a start. I try to set up posts for two days at a time that way I'm slightly ahead of the game. So I have posts thru Sunday but Monday's will have to wait as I need to see who wins the Superbowl. But that's okay, I can get something ready for Tuesday and even Wednesday and just set up Monday's on Sunday night. So it's off to a start. And honestly, I don't have a program like everyone tells me to have. I don't do X on Monday, Y on Tuesday, blah, blah, blah. I post what works for me. I do want to post a putting together thing of a project. From beginning to end. So I need to work on that. 

But, I am sick again. This is freaking ridiculous. I woke yesterday with a scratchy throat and over the course of the day my sinuses got worse. WTF????? I have now been sick on and off since fall break. That is the most I've been sick. Ever. Something is going on and I probably should have it checked out. But honestly, I'm holding out for April 1st. That's when my Medicare plans go into effect and it is so, so much better than what I have now. On my plan now, my deductible is $5,000 BUT they scale what they will pay and deduct that from the deductible. So for example, I go to the doctor and he charges $500. My insurance will only cover $150 so that's all they apply to the deductible. I may end up paying $150 or sometimes I end up paying $350. So this really, really sucks. I know for my eyes I paid out of pocket well over $5,000 but yet I never hit my deductible. With Medicare my deductible is $248. Yes, you read that right, $248. So while Medicare may do the same thing as regular insurance, only cover a part, I'll still hit that $248 a whole lot quicker than I will $5,000. Plus, I will be going to a clinic that specializes in old people. And they have a team of doctors there to help support you as you age. Definitely looking forward to that. So back to the illness, I should probably go see someone, but can I hold out for another month? Will it make a difference? Don't know so I'll play it by ear. 

I've got my mojo back as far as making goes. I was seriously out of the mood for all of January. But I've got it back and I'm feeling creative again. Actually, I'm feeling more creative than I did before. Which means I need to buy more wood. Which means I need to sell some stuff. Which means I need to get on the social media, which I am doing. It's a vicious circle. 

Okay, enough for now. I'm off to glue some things and maybe fire up the laser.

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.
