End of the year

-

 and I am just so completely done. I'm not necessarily tired. I'm worn out. I'm worn down. My soul has been drained out of me. I'm just done. Unfortunately we have 3 more days of teaching to get through. But there is definitely an up side. I'm done with the seniors. That means no 2A or citizenship. So Monday I have a class from 7:30 - 9:00 and then I don't have anything else until 1:26. I have 4 hours free. I will have the same thing on Wednesday. Tuesday will be a regular day, but they are all taking finals so it will be very low key. So as weeks go, it's a pretty chill week. Wednesday night is graduation and once that is over, I will be essentially done with school. Thursday is the awards ceremony which I'm just attending and presenting at. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Can't wait until this is done. 

This weekend is a tiny bit busy. I have a doctors appointment and prom tonight. Then the rest of the weekend I have to get the stoles and the keychains done for school. They are not hard, just will take some time. I'll be working on those Saturday and Sunday. I want to get them done this weekend so I'm not scrambling during the week to finish them up. I want next week to be as calm and stress-free as possible. 

I will be going to the gym this morning and I'm looking forward to that. My attitude towards the gym is slowly shifting. I'm going when I promise myself I will go and I'm really enjoying the workouts. Pushing myself and starting to feel strong. 

I'm going to spend the summer focusing on my business. We have decided not to take our road trip this year. We are just going to stay home and relax. So that means all summer is focused on getting this business going. I'm determined to get this thing going. I don't know what I'm doing, but I plan on spending the summer learning what I'm doing. I want this thing to get going. I want to have orders, but not too many orders. I just need to get moving. I will be going through all the classes I have signed up for, thankfully most of them are videos so I can do them at my own pace. I will be mastering my laser, while I'm good at it, I want to be much, much better. And I am going to dive into Amazon. I know that this will be a real great thing, I just need to actually use it and push it. 

I will also need to map out a new course, marine science. That will be fun. So I need to figure that out and I want to map out my chemistry course better. I got quite far this year after a very rocky start. I figure with a solid map and plan I should be able to get even further. I also want to have everything mapped out so I don't have to spend time planning or figuring out what to do. I also want to have at least 2 worksheets for everything. One they will do and we will whiteboard, the other for a grade. I hate worksheets but I have yet to come up with a better way to get them to practice the skills. I want to have all the keys printed out so that I can make grading very, very easy. I want to make my life really easy next year, and for the next few years, and the best way to do that is to have everything prepped. It will take some work, but I have about 8ish weeks to get it done. I just need to be proactive and get it done. Can't let laziness set in. 

Alright, I'm good for now. Time to get moving.

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.
