How Do You Find the Mole Fraction?!?

Well,  Because I'm an idiot, I cannot remember how to figure out how to do a mole fraction.  Which is what my physics homework was having me do.  For the one book problem we were assigned.  And I cannot remember how to do it properly.  :(

But I know how to guess and check to figure out the percent of Boron10 and Boron11 in naturally occurring Boron. (which is a mixture of the two, by the way.)  So that is how I solved it.  Which means all the math on my paper is useless...  but who cares.  :)  I have it finished!

Well.  Minus the part where I have to figure out if the differentials are exact.  I'm very unsure how to do that and don't want to do a bunch of work for nothing, so I will wait and ask my friend Danielle who is also in the class how she went about doing it.  Then I'll do it correctly!

Additionally:

I know this past Saturday I might have seemed negative, or boo whoo my life sucks-ish,  but that is not what I wanted it to appear as.  It is just what is going on in my life. And I'm ok with my mental issues.  I am pretty good.  I am happy.  Even my therapist says I seemed different, a good different.  Which she agreed it was due to me be happy.

But this weekend and past week were a good reason to be negative. 

About a week and a half ago, my Grandma started falling.  She first fell and hit her back against this plastic case on the ground.  and then fell out of bed another night.  Last Tuesday they (my Uncle and Grandma) went to the ER to get her checked out.  The doctors X-rayed her back, and it was fine.  But last Thursday she fell coming out of the bathroom on the change from tile to carpet, and apparently broke her pelvis. She was ok that night, and went to bed,  But in the morning she couldn't get out of bed.  So my uncle called 911 and they took my Grandma in an ambulance to a hospital.  They determined that she broke her pelvis in two places, and finally figured out how to manage her pain meds to give her relief.  Sometime either today or tomorrow, she will be transferred to a Nursing home to be able to sit around and relax and heal.

My dad was supposed to be released from the hospital on Saturday after having being admitted on Tuesday of last week for his very last round of Chemo!  But he ended up getting a high fever,  and convulsing,  called rigor,  where the i sounds like a hard i.  Like I am going to the store. So it was determined thru some blood tests that my dad's port (where they put the drugs in strait to his heart) was infected and the infection has spread thru his whole body.  So they have him on three antibiotics.  It is a good thing they were easily able to determine what the problem was, and of problems to have, this is one they know how to fix.  Additionally, because this was his very last treatment, they are removing his port today to prevent further infections. He should be coming home later this week.  Probably Thursday or Friday,  because they need to finish the IV antibiotics (they will be done Tuesday night) and then I'm betting Wednesday is the last day he'll have a fever, then Thursday he will have as his 24 hour normal control time  making sure nothing else goes wrong.

So there's an update on my life!  :)  I will keep you informed, and thank you for reading!

I have to go program now, because the lab finally opened.  YAY.

(not yay)

Wow.

Wow.  

This has been quite the week. Very stressful, and sadly mournful.

My Uncle died last Sunday night, the 22nd of July.

It has been really rough.  We just found out today that he basically died from organ failure.  His spleen shut down on Saturday, then  apparently his kidneys were having trouble and there were blood clots in his lungs. 

It was so sad.

It all started in April 2011 when his intestines were ruptured.  So he was literally filled with shit.  He got life flighted, well tried to fly him.  They had to get a second helicopter because the first one was broken.  Got him over to UH and cleaned him out, opened uhiim up.  then they kept performing rinses on him to help keep the area clean, and as things began to calm down, they were able to rinse more of the nooks and crannies

From then on they kept doing some different procedures to help keep him healthy and to begin to get ready to reassemble him.

June 25thhe finally underwent the operation to put him all together!  and sadly it didn't work out. :(

So my family and I have been hanging out with our cousins and my aunt.  helping them thru everything. They really appreciated it.

It is kinda fun learning more about them.  They're really fun to hang out with. :)
 

Lazy Girl Fitness

So I'm trying to become a better person, inside and out.  So one of these things I am trying to do is be more fit.  So Ive been doing some more exercises, and going on bike rides and walks. 

I have found Violet Sage on wordpress, who has these lovely lazy girl fitness tips.  They were simple,  easy to do, and can be easily added into your routine.

Day 3 - Your views on drugs and alcohol.

Alcohol - You can have it once you've become 18.  Or you should be.  (my fav!)

People wonder why people of my generation begin to smoke?  It is because we can't drink.  I have seriously considered smoking multiple times because at the end of the day, i'm just soooo stressed, and from what i hear it relieves stress.  which sounds like the best thing ever.  especially in today's society with so much pressure on everything being perfect and well.

Drugs - They're illegal for a reason.

Though Pot.... i wouldn't be opposed to it being legalized because its going on anyways.  and its not terrible.  at least from what i know.    I wouldn't be opposed to that, though i dont think i would soon.  i might try it someday.  we'll see though.
