Pity party

-

It kind of dawned on me in the last day or so that I have been engaged in a rather long lasting pity party. That came as quite a shock to me. I am not the pity party type of person. This is more me:


But that hasn't been the case lately. I'm actually not sure for how long I've been engaged in this here pity party. I think it has been awhile. Well, it is finally time to suck it up, get off my ass, and take responsibility for my life. When you view yourself as a certain type of way, it is hard to let go of that image when it slips. So, time to sucke it up and get my act together.

One of the problems I've been having is pain. My plantar has been almost out of control. I have had to wear shoes all the time and I bought a little brace that fits around my arch to help support it. I wear that all the time too. It's gotten considerably better, but it's still bad. Today I see a chiropractor who does active release technique and I am looking forward to getting some relief.

I had this done years ago, a quick review through my blog shows that it was in 2007, and it worked wonders. It worked so well, that I have not had an issue for all these years. So I'm definitely looking forward to getting that done and fixing this back and the plantar. So I can officially put that topic of pity to rest, I'm taking care of it.

The other thing has been money. Money, money, money. Well, I start at Kamehameha next week. That is going to be additional money on top of my regular salary, so that will help. Hopefully it will be enough to get us out of the hole we are in. Also, at the end of July is men's night doubles which always brings lots of money in, so that will help too. The focus for this money is to get our finances straightened out. Also, I need to go through the finances and figure out where all our money goes. After talking to the tax people yesterday, I'm not sure what the heck is going on. I think for a couple of weeks we will keep detailed records of the money spent. All money spent, even if it doesn't come out of the main money. I need to get a handle on the finances and maintain a handle. Last time I really got a grasp of the money situation we bought this house. I can do it and I will do it.

Okay, sounds like the pity party is officially over. In spite of the fact that I hate to face some of this stuff, I have to and I will feel better once I get control.

Now, I'm off to think about summer school and my dissertation.

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.
