Snowed Under

This is exactly how I've felt the last few days. I have been in the final throes of thesis writing and have papers and crap all over my desk and office. I submitted the "completed" paper on Sunday and met with my professor on Tuesday night. We went over it and there were some corrections and things to add. I spent the majority of yesterday doing that and sent it to him last night. I am scheduled to meet with him tonight to review it again. With any luck at all, this will be the final review and I can take it to be copied and bound tomorrow. Then I will meet with him next Tuesday to sign off on it and I am done. Wow!!! I can not believe it. For 2 years this thing has been hanging over my head and now I'm so close to being done I can taste it......

As a result though, my working out has taken a back seat to the thesis work. I've done a couple of things here and there but nothing regular or consistent. I did manage to rein in my eating yesterday. On Tuesday my eating was off the hook. I had beans and corn for breakfast. Something strange for lunch that I can't even remember. Dinner was left over from poker when I got home from meeting my professor. Tuesdays food was a train wreck. Yesterday I managed to get it together. Oatmeal for breakfast. Huge salad for lunch. Small amount of chicken, couscous and veggies for dinner. I feel much better this morning then I did yesterday morning.

Today I think I'm going to work on some school stuff. It starts 2 weeks from today and I'm kind of ready but not really. So I think I'm going to clean up this office today and work on school stuff. That sounds like a plan.

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.
