Yesterday was better

-

 I went in with an attitude of getting things done. I got some grading done. I got the tests that first period took graded right after they took the test. I still have a giant stack to grade, but at least it's all organized and ready to tackle. Then I came home last night and made a keychain for Cameron for tonight. So I feel a lot better about things overall. I'm bringing some work home this weekend because I need to get ahead and not just keep up. But definitely feeling better. 

A week or so ago these guys knocked on my door at like 5pm. I have a habit of just blowing them off when they come trying to sell something. So I opened the door, he asked if I had my roof inspected, and I led him to believe that we had just moved in. He then told me that if we had a wind storm he could get our roof replaced by our homeowner's insurance, handed me his card and left. Hmmmm, okay. When Hubby got home I mentioned it to him and he reminded me that we had  a shingle blown off - it was sitting by the front door. So last Friday I called this guy, he came out and inspected our roof and we filed a claim with The Hartford. I was informed that it is a covered expense and that an adjust would be out to examine the roof. That inspector will be here tomorrow. That's so crazy to me. I had no idea that insurance would ever cover a roof. I always thought that it was part of typical maintenance of the house. If this works out and we get a new roof, we won't have to worry about that for the remainder of our lives. Roofs last 20-30 years so this will be the one an only one we do. It's wild. I would never have thought that insurance would replace a roof for wind damage. So glad that guy came by. 

Okay, that's all. Got up really early this morning and am just killing time.

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.
