Acoustic Levitation

At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have been experimenting with sound waves and pharmaceutical solutions, levitating soluble drops between two speakers facing each other. While their research has produced some visually fascinating results, it has also led to the discovery of a far more effective method for creating amorphous drugs, which happen to be the more desirable of two forms that pharmaceutical drugs can take.Watch Video Here.

Weigh in week 3

Wed, 08 May 2013 06:51:52 -0400

I was a little worried about my weigh in this week.. I exercised a bit more but also ate a bit more (including a little ice cream treat) and then I was even more worried when my period kicked in last night..

But none of that mattered because..

I lost 3 lbs! :D
SO HAPPY.

My inch lost was quite small this week but that’s okay. I made a chart where I can tick off my weight and see it every day! And I did the same with my inches lost.
Since 3 weeks ago I have lost 7 & 1/2 inches off of my whole body :)

I’m now at the lowest weight I have been in around 3 years!! So far I’m not seeing any differences but I feel much more alert and energetic. I went to a BBQ on Saturday and a friend who didn’t even know I was trying to lose weight said it looked like I had so that MADE MY DAY :) When I started 3 weeks ago I wasn’t even at my heaviest weight so..

Looking forward to continuing and seeing further results :D

YUM!

Aww, maybe you could get one and turn it up? Tbh I think I’m too short to, I got one with the a stretchy top and I have to pull it up really high xD Probably going to trip on it but ohhh well ;p

Shopping.

Mon, 06 May 2013 16:58:29 -0400

Today I went for a casual stroll into town to return a DVD and decided to pop into town, I wanted to buy a swimming costume so I can start swimming in a few weeks so thought I’d have a browse.

I tried on a swimming costume (well a few) and despite feeling kinda self concious I didn’t think it was AS BAD as I was expecting xD So I ended up liking one and got it. It’s the first swimming costume I have bought/owned in probably somewhere over 10 years :o

While browsing the shop I spontaneously decided to try on a maxi dress, I have never owned nor worn or even tried one on before but I thought they looked comfy and cool for summer but obviously keep you covered up.
The one I tried on I REALLY liked, I felt really comfortable in it and ended up buying it on a bit of a whim.
It’s a teeeeeny bit long for me and I probably couldn’t have picked a much more bolder or colourful print, which I realised probably isn’t the best thing when I need to build up confidence to wear a new item of clothing :p haha. I’m not sure what to wear it with but I am determined that I WILL wear it at some point and not let my anxiety talk me out of it.

Anyway, I ended up trying on the swim costume again when I got home just to be sure I liked it, and I did so I removed the hygiene strip and turned it inside out to look at the instructions to wash it (My Nan was always adamant on washing clothing and bedding etc before first use and I guess it rubbed off on me) and I noticed a fairly large tare under the bust. GUTTED. I haven’t actually worn it properly and I tried it on with underwear but now I’m worried they won’t exchange it because I removed the hygiene strip (although I did stick it back on but it’s really crinkled so I think they’ll know xD)

And annoyingly I go back to Cambridge tomorrow so I’ve had to ask my mum to exchange it with me.
I’m pretty certain I didn’t cause the tare cos I would have felt/heard it? :s but yeah.

The ironic thing is that it was from a shop I RARELY shop in because I think there clothing is usually very cheap looking/feeling and doesn’t last long.. as well as the sizes always seem to be really off for me :s Goes to prove you should STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW.. but for me that usually means I am dressed from head to toe in stuff from one shop and one shop only :p

2013..

Thu, 02 May 2013 06:45:22 -0400

Hasn’t been the best year for me and I could go into massive rambles why, BUT I do feel like it is getting much better :)
I am happier not working at Fez, Uni is almost over, I get to go home soon & hopefully return to my job where I will have more money and therefore worry about money less, IT IS SO LOVELY AND SUNNY, I get to live with Alice later on in the year, My boyfriend is an utter PUDDING (although he always has been ;D) and yeah.. Just feeling more positive?
YEAH.

I can’t wait for summer at home with my friends, I’m even enthusiastic to go back to work (PLEASE LET THEM NEED ME D:) and then when summer is over I get to live in a much cheaper place with someone I actually like ;D

The only thing I am sad about this that I have wasted the last 8ish months here, well not ‘wasted’ exactly but I have been incredibly unhappy and incredibly stressed over money for the most part. (stupid expensive rent - which makes me resent this place/the people I live with EVEN MORE) but I said I wouldn’t dwell..

I am also a little sad that it is MAY and I haven’t even been to ONE gig or event yet!? :o WHAT?! I went to so so sooooo many things last year that it is slightly odd and adds to this years pooeyness.

But yes. like I said, things are getting better and I am feeling more positive :)

Had a nice day today, added bonus that it was a GLORIOUS day.

I trekked into town (I should start saying walk rather than trek - but it is a 50 minute walk :p) and browsed in a few shops and had a bit of a splurge.

Got two new scarves, a new bowl (which I actually did need weirdly enough), a new plate (both of which are pretty strawberry ones from Cath Kidston :D), A lip scrub from Lush and then I totally took advantage of New Look having 20% off and treated myself to a new dress and two new bags :) The bags are small ones for just casually going out because I have far too many large bags, and because they’re large I end up filling them up with pointless crap and making them really unnecessarily heavy :p
I’m excited to wear the dress, it’s slightly different to what I normal buy (because I seriously buy the same dress over and over but in slightly different colours of patterns :p) but it’s pretty and is really flattering on (at least it feels that way even if it doesn’t look it to other people) but now I’m worrying what to wear it with because I am a crazy lover of black tights and cardigans with EVERYTHING.. but I am also a useless girl :( haha.

Oh I also nearly bought a white sun dress (white are my favourite kind of dresses.. especially for summer) but it was incredibly unflattering.. It seemed like it had TOO much material and made me look incredibly bulky on my hips (I have big hips anyway so yeah..) I also nearly got stuck in the dress trying to take it off ‘cos I couldn’t get to the zip xD haha, was actually slightly terrified I wouldn’t be able to get out of it.

Yeah.
Completely knackered by the time I got home again but felt pretty good after all that walking :)
Made a yummy dinner and now gonna chilllllllllllll.. I may do a bit of uni work but as it’s a full day at uni tomorrow I might allow myself a break ;)

I got this in the post today and I’m really excited to read it.
I’ve heard such good things about this book and about the author so FINGERS CROSSED FOR A GOOD BOOK.
Although I probably shouldn’t have bought a new book when I still have a (small) pile to read! Whoops.
But nevermind, I read LOADS last summer so hopefully I’ll get lots of reading done this summer too :)

Stupid internet >:(

Wed, 01 May 2013 10:12:07 -0400

I come on the internet to do one thing and then get completely distracted for ages over pretty much nothing :p

Whoops.

A bit proud of myself right now..

I’ve been doing this workout video for the past 2 weeks. Day 1, I could only do 9 minutes out of 30, each time I tried to improve but today.. TODAY I DID THE FULL 30 MINUTES :)
I am a sweaaaaty mess but it was so worth it :)

I lost like, a teeny tiny amount this week that I didn’t feel like it was worth counting but I lost a few inches off of my entire body so I can DEAL WITH IT :) Made me want to work harder, I had a good week for food but I was unable to workout due to the severe dizziness I have been experiencing and due to the dizziness I even walked places less (I walk EVERYWHERE usually)

So yes. I also spoke to Chris last night (boyfriend) and he was motivated by me to start exercising himself so it’s nice as we can do things together once I’m home from uni :) I still want to get up the nerve to go swimming and maybe join a class but we’ll see.

I’m actually excited to go home this weekend because I own an exercise bike from the time I lost weight in 2010 and I have a few other bits and bobs to exercise with so it’ll be nice to do something a bit different as I’m limited in my uni room (lack of space + I’m on the second floor and our floorboards are incredibly squeaky so I can’t jump about too much :p)

Anyway, yeah. Feeling okay.
May trek into town later and have a little shopping spree, kind of want to cheer myself up :)
But the good news is that the hospital think my Nan’s heart is stable enough to send her home for a while tomorrow :) So happy for her because I can just imagine how unhappy she has been in hospital!

Chaaaa.

I am so desperately worried about my Nan.
She is currently in hospital because she had a heart attack.
For quite some time she’s been having heart palpitations and chest pains but they usually go away quickly and she is usually too stubborn to see a Doctor.
But now she is in hospital, I haven’t been able to visit (yet) but from everything I’ve been told she is doing well and is herself. (worrying about how her hair looks and if her eggs and bacon will go off) but she has a big box on her monitoring her heart and they have to operate.

When I heard operate my heart sunk. I just know operations are so much more risky on the eldery and I KNOW they’re even more risky on the freakin’ heart.

My mum then told me she signed a DNR. (Do not resuscitate)

I know from working with the elderly how quickly they can decline and pass away, but it’s so different to that, she is FAIRLY healthy and she is completely with it, completely their, completely herself.

I just cannot bare to lose her.

I know most people slightly shrug off when the elderly get ill or die.. They know it’s sad but they’ve lived their lives and blah blah.. but my Nan has always been like my mum. Or been like a mum to me. I spent so much time as a child with her, we would spend every Wednesday and every weekend at her house and she would make sure to spend every second with us. (not like going to someone’s house and just playing with toys). She taught me so much too, how to cook, how to swim, how to say please and thank you. She taught me everything my mum was suppose to.

I know I’m being pessimistic. and I know she will (hopefully) be fine. And I know she will eventually pass away, but I just don’t want it to be over some silly heart problem.

I love her. and I really cannot begin to know how I will function without her.
