This is what happens when I'm not training.

I have all this energy, both physical and mental, and end up doing lots of silly things.

For about 6 years I've had a little computer desk. You know, the kind you build yourself and it has the hutch overhead for storing all your computer stuff. Well, it was falling apart, the bird had chewed some of it and the working area was way too small. In the new place I don't have any place to work but my desk and it just wasn't cutting it anymore.

So for the last few days I've been haunting Craigslist and visiting the 2nd had stores looking for a desk. Wednesday I finally found it at Salvation Army. It's a large, flat top desk with 2 drawers on each side, just perfect. So I buy it and stuff it in my Escape and take it home.

When I got it home I discover a) it's HUGE!!! and b) it's doesn't fit through the doorway to my computer room. Okay, after much struggling and finally ending up taking the sides off, I got it in. Once I set the computer up I realized that the kick board is set right in the middle of the desk so there's no where for my tower to sit. Okay....... now what????

Last night I decided to rearrange my computer room (I told you, too much energy) so that I could sit my tower next to the desk instead of under it. I figured that would be my weekend project.

Tonight when I got home, hubby asks me if I can fit the large worktable that I have in the studio in my computer room. Some friends will be visiting for ProBowl in Feb and we need to start getting the studio ready for guest. Okay..... let's see what I can do.

So after measuring everything and being absolutely brutal cleaning my computer room, I move my desk, drag the table in and now have this great work area in my computer room.

I'm very excited!! I now have a huge work area, right in my computer room where my bird lives, and I can now work in the house and not have to sit all alone out in the studio. Woo Hoo!!!

My self imposed rest has definitely helped. My butt feels much better. I have a doc appt. Monday so I'll go and see what they have to say. I'm kind of hoping they send me to physical therapy because the stretches and foam rollers I'm using just aren't working right.

That's all I have. Not working out is really killing me. I find myself with all this pent up energy and I can't go to bed till late and aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'll go now......

But I think we all need those down times to actually get something done! I'm the same way. I wish I could say with all my down time I was actually accomplishing things that have been put aside for years, but alas, I still like just sitting and doing nothing for my rest. As for the butt pain, look up piriformis and see if the symptoms match what you have. I had that a LONG time ago. At that time, there was NOTHING out there about it, so I suffered for 3 years and lost a lot of fitness in the process and basically had to rebuild every bit of base I ever had. If that's what it is, get that nipped in the bud before it gets you down more. Keep us informed.

Could you bottle some of that energy you have and FedEx it to me overnight?
Thanks!

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.
