Feeling Good

-

Thursday was a little rough, the back was pretty achy all day. I ended up using my Cryoderm 3 or 4 times and taking ibuprofen a couple of times. I went to bed Thursday night and it was still sore, but woke up Friday morning feeling awesome. Little tweaks if I moved a certain way, but overall great. Only used the Cryoderm once yesterday and no ibuprofen at all. This morning it feels pretty good too. Going to go to Crossfit this morning, but if I have the slightest problem, I'm stopping.

This afternoon I have a Paleo challenge. I spent most of the day yesterday shopping and cooking. After I got everything done, I started second guessing myself. Is it good enough? Will they like it? Does it look okay? Screw that. I've been second guessing myself my whole life and I'm tired of it. The things I do are good. People like the things I do. I'm the only one who questions it. So, in spite of the fact that I want to drop out at the last minute, I'm going. I'm going to present my food and they will either like it or they won't. I can't control that. I like it and that's all that really matters.

I had wanted to do some work around the house over the summer. I had hoped to get a new couch and paint the living room. That didn't happen. I was hoping to replace some hardware too. We have a whole in the back screen door and the dogs use it as a doggie door. I was thinking of getting a couple of wing knobs for each side of the door and teaching the dogs how to open the door with them. Then we could replace the screen and maybe not have as many flies in the house as we have had lately???

The worse part of today? The realization that there is only 2 more weeks left of summer :(

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.
