Day 5 - a day of sloth

-

After writing my post yesterday, I almost bailed on my workout. I seriously considered not doing it. I'm not exactly sure why now but I did have some reasons - whether they were good or not is another story. But I had them. I somehow talked myself into doing it and felt pretty darn good. In fact I even upped the weight I use for the upper body work. Cool. Now today I am facing the same dilemma. I have worked out 5 days in a row. I will be riding my bike to Kailua today and tomorrow. I'm thinking of skipping the workout this morning and working on my thesis. I need to make some progress on that and I will be riding my bike later.

Back to yesterday. After my workout nothing much happened. I'm really not sure where the day went exactly. I didn't do much of anything and still the day managed to fly by. A friend dropped a bird off that we are birdsitting for the holidays. I did take a nap for a while. Other than that - nothing. Nothing. At. All. Food was ~eh~ Nothing exciting or thrilling. Nothing really over the top either. Just eh. And that was about it.

Today doesn't promise to be too exciting either. I will be riding my bike to Kailua to finish our new checking account. That means that on Tuesday I have to go to school to start the process of switching my direct deposit. I think that things will be closed on Monday to celebrate the Christmas holiday so I'll wait until Tuesday to go.

Okay, I have nothing more. I think I'm going to shower, get some breakfast, then sit down and start writing. I know what direction I want my thesis to take I just need to get moving on it. Today will be the day.

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.
