It really is that easy....

Last Thursday and Friday I was dead tired. By 2 pm I felt so incredibly drained that one day I actually laid down and took a little nap. That is unusual for me on a lot of different levels. First, as much as I love them, I don't take naps anymore. I will lie down on the couch with Sammy and watch a little TV, but after about 30 minutes I have to get up and do something. So napping is very strange for me. Second, getting that tired is bizarre. I mean I was bone tired. I felt like I could not move another step. I could not hold my head up. It was horrible. There are other reasons but you get the idea; very strange for me.

Friday I got up and forced myself to work out even though I was just exhausted. Saturday I did the same thing. Yesterday I was actually looking forward to working out. I also felt pretty good yesterday and had my normal amount of energy. This morning I feel great. So, the moral of the story here is, between eating right and working out for a couple of days I've got my energy back. Yeah!!!!

We did our weekly shopping yesterday and had to stop at Long's Drugs for a couple of things. Apparently the Long's by us got one of those new POS systems at the register and the cashier was having a hard time. She kept hitting the buttons like it was the old system and the thing kept beeping at her. I wasn't sure we were ever going to get out of there. These systems seem pretty cool though and they do a lot of things, like take credit and debit cards, that required a separate reader. Anyway, I wasn't tired but I was ready to jump over the counter and figure it out for her :)

Okay, I have to go workout and get some things done before school starts.

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.
