I have to hang my head in shame.

-
I did not get up to work out this morning and I have no excuse. I'm not sore anymore. I'm not overly tired. There's nothing wrong. I just didn't get up. The alarm went off and it was raining and I was all snugly in bed and I just didn't get up. So, in the case of do or do not, I didn't this morning. Oh well.

Since Sunday I've been having a problem with Xena, the warrior moluccan. She has been getting absolutely viscous with me. I mean racing across her cage and trying to bite me. It's been getting bad. I didn't quite know what was going on and was getting a little concerned about the way she was acting.

Yesterday I finally dawned on me. Sunday night she has started playing inside her carrier. I made the connection that she would try to attack me whenever I got near her carrier. It being spring and all, she was making her carrier into a nest and was defending her nest. Last night I removed her carrier and she was her normal loving, loud, self. Glad that mystery was solved.

The call of the siren pillow wins again. Happens to all of us.

Xena sounds like a handful. No one wants a large bird angry at them, that's for sure. Glad you figured it out.

Glad you figured that out!!

Sometimes we need that extra snuggle time... especially when it is raining. There is always tomorrow.

When nature calls, right? At least she didn't attack you. Just being defensive it sounds.

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.
