What a week it has been

-

We moved into the house on Sunday and proceeded to work all day getting things ready to live in. We had an old bed on the floor, 2 broken down loveseats and that was all. Living here was interesting. On Tuesday the cable got installed so we had internet again but no TVs to watch anything on. Monday night we also had an alarm guy come by and he completely sold us an alarm system :) It was supposed to be installed on Tuesday the same time as the cable. Oh yeah, Tuesday we also had a garage door opener installed and had someone over to look at the refrigerator since there are issues with it. On Wednesday our furniture was delivered so we now have a couch and loveseat, a dining room table and the most awesome bed anywhere. We also ordered some bar stools for the kitchen counter and they came on Wednesday also. The alarm guy did not come on Tuesday, so he ended up coming on Wednesday but couldn't complete the job. After he left we had no internet. WTF????? Called the cable company and scheduled a technician for the next day. Thursday the cable guy comes and finds that the alarm guy had unplugged something. Ugh!!! The alarm guy came and finished the installation of the alarm system. We have a coded door lock and a doorbell with camera, among other things. Totally cool. Last night we had meet the teachers at school so I was there until 7:15 pm. The good news is I have today off. No Fridays. Woot woot!!!!

This morning I return to Crossfit. I'm very nervous about this. I love Crossfit and I need to work out, I've gotten so fat and lazy, but I'm scared. It's been about a year and half since I've done Crossfit seriously. I'm scared. But the lady who runs it is really, really nice. Her daughter will be my student this year, so I think it will be good.

Okay, lots to do today and I really want to get it all done so that I can play the rest of the weekend. Time to eat breakfast.

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.
