Still in a bit of a funk

-

 I stopped saying "I don't care" this weekend and things are getting a little better. I have been making like crazy. I had some ideas for the tablet holders that I make and I took off with that. Friday and yesterday I think I made 3 holders - that's crazy. I had a couple of really good ideas that I'm testing out, we will see how it goes. Of course, I'm running into obstacles at every turn. I cut something out and it fits together nicely. Then I paint and nothing fits. As I glue, things shift around. I swear it's crazy annoying. I have become this huge problem solver. I guess that is what happens when you are trying to innovate. I've also been incorporating resin into the tablet holders and that is coming out really cool. Lots of work though. 

In other news, I still can't quite shake this downish feeling. It's there all the time. Part of the feeling is that everyone is gearing up for Christmas and I'm doing nothing. I've sort of kind of decided to not participate this Christmas season because I don't really know how to, nor do I want to. I'm going to sit down and  plan out next year and be ready to hit all the high points. Of course, there are a lot of things I want to do. I really want to get a line of dog stuff going. I was thinking of a personalized bowl, matching collar, and maybe even a mug. I can't seem to get going on even getting that together. I have all the pieces, I just need to make some examples and I can't seem to do that. 

Okay, I have got to shake this lethargy and get my ass in gear. I need a plan!

  • I'm going to finish up everything I have in the works
  • I'm going to get everything I have ready posted on Etsy at least
  • I'm going to sit down and dig deep and decide exactly what I want to do with my business for the next year. 
  • I'm going to plan next year out. 
  • I'm going to finish all these freaking courses that I have signed up for and learn all the things. 

Okay, that's a start. I'm going to do a brain dump in my planner and get all these things out of my head and onto paper. Once I have them out there, I will start organizing them into times to get them done. Once I know how/when they need to be done, I will start planning out my days/weeks/months to get them all accomplished by the end of the year. 

This will not be easy, but I'm going to get it done. Off now to get working on it.

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.
