Just some meandering thoughts

-

 My computer at work kept crashing so I got a new one. I got it on Tuesday and decided to not load my personal Google account on it. I decided to keep it strictly work related. Well, can I tell you how much my scrolling has dropped? I used to sit at my desk and pretend to be working but really be scrolling on Facebook. Now I can't do that and so I am spending less time at my desk and more time actually with the students. I like it a lot. I can look at all this information on my phone, but I just don't do it that much. Now I'm thinking of removing my work stuff from my phone. Less crossover. 

Graduation is today from the Illustrator course I am taking. I have fallen behind and need to find some time to finish it. But I have learned a whole lot and I'm so glad I spent the money on it. I already have some ideas for files that I want to create. I have found that I can sit and watch TV and create stuff on Illustrator. I like that. 

Weight. I am currently down 12 pounds from my highest weight in June. In June I had some health issues and the condition of my heart was in question. That made me scared to do almost anything but walk. I have since found that my heart is fine and I have been working out. So now I am down 12# and it feels amazing. 

I guess that's about it. I have a pretty lazy weekend planned and that is nice. Get some time with my designing stuff, maybe cut something. Who knows? But I think I'm going to go work out now.

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.
