Feeling better

-



Generally I feel my worst in the morning right after I wake up. After I'm up for a while I start to feel better and then in the late afternoon/early evening I will feel really bad again. Usually right before I go to bed is when I feel my best and I get real optimistic about the next day being better. Usually I'm wrong. Last night I made myself a real healthy dinner and I did not eat any dessert. When I went to bed I felt pretty good. When I woke up I still felt pretty good so I think I may be on the mend. Dear Lord I hope so. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. For the last couple of days I get up around 5 and by 8 or 9 I'm back on the couch napping. After an hour or so I get up but then after lunch I'm back for another nap. Then by bedtime - 9 pm - I'm exhausted and can barely keep my eyes open. This is not right. But hopefully we are nearing the end of it. I think if I had just given myself time to be sick it wouldn't have lasted this long, but I really didn't. I get up early everyday for the animals. While I nap I don't stay in bed and rest all day. I have not been drinking enough water and I know that's a huge factor. I think it's just a combination of a number of factors. Hopefully I'll feel better soon.

The alarm clock we have in the bedroom is one of those smart ones that automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. Problem is, we don't do DST here in Hawaii. But my clock will not accept no for an answer. Every year it adjusts and every year I forget it does. I looked at the clock this morning and it said 6:something (I always keep it a few minutes fast) so I got up to feed the animals. As I'm working around I notice that the time on my phone is wrong. That's weird, I've never had that problem before!! Then I look at the watch on my wrist - it's only 5:00 am. WTF???? By then I had already started drinking my coffee so there was no going back to bed. I'm so glad I'm up super early on a Sunday and a day I'm not feeling 100% - yea for technology.

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.
