Working, working, working

 I've been working my butt off these last 2 days. I don't get to make things much during the school week but yesterday I made up for that. I cut a desk set that I've been wanting to make - it's gorgeous. I got my quilt coated with the first coat. I made some dominoes for a gift - though I'm not thrilled with the color.  Took Mavy to the vet. Yup, it was a busy, busy day. But now I need to step away from the making for a bit and do some computer work. Theoretically I could do that while I cut things, but it just doesn't work that way. When I'm cutting I have too many things going on that I need to keep an eye on and so I can't focus on the computer work. So I think I'm going to focus on that today. I did start it a bit last night. I had been saying that I'm dumping all the listings in my Shopify store and literally starting over. Well, I finally did that. I deleted everything and am starting from scratch. One thing I had is when someone talks about something over and over and over but then never does it. That's what I was doing in my head. So I just sat down and did it. I started creating a new banner in Canva and I really like it. I think I'm going to focus on that today. I want my Shopify store up and running and I want to start building my email list and getting some traction there. So that is the plan for today. 

Mavy has a grooming appointment this afternoon. And tomorrow he's getting his pictures taken by a professional photographer. I can't wait. I'm so excited. 

That's really about it. Break is break. I finally get to do what I want and that's always good.

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.
