Sick again

-

 I've got a bit of a head cold again!  Now I haven't had one since school started, but looking back at my blog I apparently get them kind of frequently. That sucks. Didn't sleep so well last night. Got up this morning and ended up back on the couch. I had trouble breathing during the night due to a stuffy nose, but laying on the couch, slightly elevated, helped the breathing. So I snoozed on the couch until Hubby got up. As per usual, I'm not feeling bad, just stuffy with a cough. Guess I'll just suffer through it. 

In other news, I signed up for this YogaBody daily program. They provide 15 minutes of strength workouts and 15 minutes of stretching routines every day. You are also supposed to add in 30 minutes of walking. It's done by the guy who does my stretching program which I just love, so I decided to give it a try. The main reason is for consistency. I need consistency. When we lived on Lydia Lane I lost a bunch of weight with just walking. It wasn't that I walked all that much, it's just I was wicked consistent. In my vast wisdom, I've decided that's where the key lies - in the consistency. So this YogaBody daily is not hard, it's not super strenuous, it's not time-consuming, but it will provide me some consistency. I bought it like Tuesday so I don't have a full week with it yet. I also really couldn't add in the walking part because of the freaking heat here. It's supposed to be 100F today. WTF??????  We are literally days from November and the weather is still like this? Anyway, it is supposed to cool down next week and I want to get a walk in when I come home from school. Mavy would like that, I would like that, everyone would like that. All I need to do is shake this ridiculous head cold. UGH!!!!!

I can't seem to get back into my business. I tried yesterday and it just didn't work. I'm going to try again today and see if I can get some stuff done. Mainly I want to get caught up on my classes. I have a new class starting on Nov. 4th. I'm not really going all out for this holiday season. I'm taking classes and learning some things. My plan is to design my own stuff and start selling my designs in the new year. Then I will have a physical shop where I can make my designs and sell them and a design shop that will sell the designs themselves. That's my goal. I am also working on focusing on pet stuff. I want to make dog/cat/bird things. Just did a quick bird search and there are some things out there, but I want to make them more pet type like dogs and cats. But these will take time. I have to learn to design and then actually make and test designs. So yeah, that's a long term thing. In the meantime I've somewhat lost the desire to use my laser. I don't want to cut more things and have them laying around. So I'm in a bit of a conundrum. 

Okay, I have no more to say. I need to get my day started, the dog is bugging me to go for a walk.

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.
