Focus

-

 This week has been almost entirely focused on my business. I have watched an amazing number of videos and webinars about various aspects of my business. I have spent hours and hours thinking, planning, and figuring things out. Maybe if I had done this in the beginning I wouldn't have to be doing it now. But, it is what it is. I'm determined to figure this whole social media thing out and there is no stopping me. 

I will say that I have been the tiniest bit sidetracked. One of the seminars I watched this week was focused around planners and using them. I got some really good ideas about using my planner, organizing my planner, and generally getting back into the planner game. I've let that fall off the last few months because of complete overwhelm and I need to get back into it. So I've incorporated some bullet journaling into the one I have now - boxes and a key for various things. I've also incorporated a Top Three each day. I've tried that before but never really stuck with it. I have said to myself a number of times that I don't have a top three. Well, the truth is I do. There are things I want to do each day and I just need to start writing them down in my planner. I'm putting the things I want to get done that day and I'm prioritizing a few of them. Others are just on a constantly moving list of things to do. Each one will eventually become important, but for now they are just things I want to do. It's a work in progress. I hope to have the habit established by the time I return to school so that I can utilize my newfound planning skills to keep things straight at school. 

Yesterday I got my 49er cups. I am calling them that because they are red with gold underlay. Very excited about them and already have a few designs ready to engrave. I'm going to do 3 or 4 and them post them all on my Etsy store. I'm also thinking of posting in some 49er groups. We'll see. I can post in the groups and direct them to my stores. Again, we'll see. 

I will be working on those cups today and I need to do some laundry and such. Otherwise I think I'm going to paint earrings and resin them. I also want to try resin based paint for my dominoes - might work on that. And clean up my board up there. What a mess. Maybe also work on cleaning up some other parts of this room. I don't know. We shall see. 

Okay, have to go walk the Mavster. He's getting restless.

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.
