Slowly emerging

What a couple of weeks it has been. Let's recap. First off, it's been the last 2 weeks of the semester and all manner of things need to be completed and taken care of. Least of all the final exams. On top of that, I have not had a period since July and last week I got the period from hell. Apparently it made up for all those that I had missed. I had cramps and was in bad, bad shape for 3 days. It also lasted a week. A. Week. WTF??? Then the parrot club had their Christmas Party and all hell broke loose at the party. The result is probably going to be a splintering of the club into 2 entities. That's nice. And if all that wasn't enough, I came down with a head cold. One that I just could not shake. I've had it all week and it makes me tired and all I want to do is lay down. Finally last night I said - enough!!! I went and worked out, even though I only did about 30 minutes worth. Then this morning I went for run. I have felt much better today. I need to do a little shopping. I'm going to try and hit the swap meet this weekend. Luckily now they all have those POS systems that makes shopping at those places so much easier. I want to work out tonight but they moved the strength one to 6:30 and I don't think I want to go that late. Oh well, I'll see what I want to do tonight.

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.
