Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Tomorrow is my 5th test of the class. I am looking forward to it because I feel like I have the information pretty much down packed. We are going over the fluid and electrolyte balances in the body. There are a lot of ions to remember but after looking over all the information so much I should be able to pass without any issues.
I have recently begun to use my PDA again. I feel that writing down things that need to be done, is a very helpful tool. The PDA is always there with me and it is satisfying to be able to check something off of a list. However, at times I feel like I spend more time planning and less time doing.
I want to make a resolution that I will stick to all the plans that I make on my PDA unless there is a legitimate excuse not to. Which is very rare. Laziness is not an excuse, and lord knows I have tons of it! Tomorrow morning is the Command Master Chief Run and I am kind of excited about it. Its always good to have a little bit of motivation on a friday morning.
Im not sure what I am going to do this weekend but I am going to try to be pretty frugal. I have a trip to washington the second week in July, and John is coming down to Virginia Beach on the third week. I am going to need to save up some money for those two trips. I am really excited but in the meantime will try to make the best of my time and try not to let my missing him consume me. Lol It has for a while and I am just now finally realizing that I need to stop being so childish. This is Life. We are not going to be near the ones we love at all times 24/7. We shouldn’t either. Its not healthy. It is bad for the relationship. Smothering someone is never a good thing.
I sold my laptop and sidekick on ebay. I got a new phone that is eco friendly from motorolla. ( I am almost ready to maybe write a little review about it. Also I want to write a review about the book I just finished “Secrets to Happiness.” Look for those to come soon.) It is just a little bit of extra money but its helping me out a bit. I want to get some side jobs going on the weekends so I can bring in some more disposable income. if anyone knows of any side weekend jobs in the Hampton Roads Virginia area make sure you let me know! :)
Tomorrow’s test is the last thing I have ti worry about till monday. Thank God Its Friday! :D

Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things
Friday's big release was Qwen 3.8 27B, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its prede...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026 My best bird photo from this morning is a dragonfly (Eastern Pondhawk, I think). Least Sandpiper Green Heron Red-headed Woodpecker. It's a juvenile, so its head is not actually red yet.
