I had a thought but it died of loneliness :)

I kept forgetting things today. What I was doing mainly, but also where I was going and what I was looking for. It was really bad today. I've also developed a strange problem. It seems I have adult onset dyslexia. This is becoming a huge problem. In my work I'm constantly calculating stuff and I've developed a horrible habit of reversing numbers. I've also noticed I'm doing it a lot with letters. Almost every typo I make is flipping letters in words. I don't know what's causing it or why it's happening but it's freaking me out a little. I'm hoping it's just stress and being tired. I hope.

I have decided to stop trying to lose weight. I've been so completely focused on that all year and I'm sick and tired of thinking about it. I'm really getting into my workouts, running, strength, and biking, so that's what I'm going to focus on. I'm going to continue to eat well and track my food in FitDay, but no more obsessing over calories, fat, protein, blah, blah, blah.... I'm really tired of it. So that's something that happened today.

Tomorrow is Halloween and I have no candy or anything. We had talked about decorating the house but we lost interest in that. This is what happens when you don't have kids anymore. Halloween might be a good time to think about children insurance. The little ones will be out the running amok, they should be covered.

That's it for tonight. I'm kind of tired and think my brain needs a rest. Maybe some vegging in front of the TV is what's called for.

Don't feel bad about the dyslexia thing. I think I have it sometimes too! Especially when giving someone directions! If I say left, I mean right, etc. Anyone who drives with me, with me navigating, knows I know how to get around where we are going, but I ALWAYS tell them the opposite directions every time. I sort of cured myself by stopping and thinking about what I was going to say, not what I meant, before I gave an answer. It does help, so maybe you just need to slow down and process first.

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.
