I am falling apart

-
Wow, getting old is definitely not for the weak :) So the heel still hurts. I've been stretching and icing just like the chiro said, but it still hurts a little. I see the chiro again on Thursday and hopefully that will finally fix it. I know this ART works, I just need to be patient. I think my PF took a couple of weeks and it definitely got worse before it got better. So I just need to bide my time and be patient. My heel will get better.

Yesterday afternoon I noticed that the base of my thumb on my right hand hurt. It wasn't bad, but it was sore. I figured I must have banged it or something and just didn't remember. This morning the thumb hurts like heck and the other one is sore. What's up with that?? I'm guessing there is something I'm doing that is bothering my thumbs. Maybe it typing :) Anyway, it's very strange.

Finally, as I said yesterday we may be close to buying a house in Colorado. There is a 1/2 of a duplex for sale in Greeley. Greeley is home to UNC and therefore rentals are in demand. This house is pretty cheap (at least when compared to homes in Hawaii) and we are thinking of buying it and renting it out for a year. Then we'll have a place to move to when we move. We don't particularly want to live in Greeley but it would be a good income property once we do buy a place we want to live in. Anyway, we have begun discussing it with the mortgage broker. I'm not thrilled with buying a place sight unseen but, on the other hand, if it's rented it must be half way decent and for the price I don't see us getting screwed. Or we may just make a quick trip to Colorado to check it out. I'd need to stock up on my travel supplies, but I think we could swing a long weekend in Colorado.

That does it for me today. I have an inspection at the end of the week so I'm off to do some cleaning.

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.
