I Don't Care

-

 I've been saying that a lot lately. A large part of it has to do with school. I have kids whom I just wish to kill and so by saying I don't care, I kind of remove the emotion from it. It works. I have become a lot more detached this year and that allows me some sanity. I can walk away from an encounter and not relive it all weekend. So it works well there, but I have found it bleeding over into the rest of my life. For a while, I was so motivated to do things and try things and learn things. Now I find myself in a funk that I am really having difficulty getting out of. And once I get into a funk it permeates all areas of my life. I'm not doing the classes I was so interested in. I'm not working on the dog collars I was so interested in learning. I'm not working on my Etsy shop or my Shopify site. I'm just not doing much of anything. I had some great ideas for some things to really put a twist on them and make them my own. I'm not doing that. I'm taking a design course to learn to design my own stuff because I had so many ideas. I'm not doing that. It's driving me crazy because I can't seem to break out of it. Normally just recognizing what is going on is enough to help me break through. But not this time. I am well aware of what is happening and I can combat it, but I can't seem to break the bonds of this depression. So, I need to do something else. I'm going to start with cleaning up this room and getting some more organization. Usually, my organization springs from a desire to do a specific thing and I need to organize to do that. This time I need to organize so that I can do whatever it is I need/want to do. I sold one of my heat presses yesterday and now have an empty shelf in the closet. That is going to help me get my wood more organized. I have a list of to-dos that I've been putting off, going to get those done ASAP.  Going to work on some of my classes and some of my ideas. I'm tired of feeling this way and I'm going to do everything that I can to shake it. 

Okay, I feel more empowered and motivated. I'm going to look around here and really figure out how I can organize things more effectively.

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.
