Excuses, I'm loaded with them

-

So it's been almost 10 days since I posted. In that time, the container arrived and left, we unloaded and unpacked, and life has kept moving on. School is good. I'm finding that I like the block scheduling. There are some days when 90 minutes seems rather excessive, but overall I like it a lot. I freaking love have only 4 classes a day. Do you have any idea how awesome that is? Especially when 2 of the 3 are the same. Awesome!!!! In the middle of both days, A and B, I have these huge breaks that I actually get stuff accomplished in. It is just amazing. So school is going really well and I think I'll be quite happy there.

What have I not been doing? Working out. I went on Friday and joined Crossfit. I couldn't finish the workout on Friday due to some intestinal distress, but I haven't been back since. I keep saying I'm going to go but then I don't. I have tons of excuses as to why I don't do. Let's see. I'm tired - an oldie but a goody. My feet are tired - right, because that has never happened before. My feet hurt - could that be the 200+ lbs you are carrying around? My brain is fried - Crossfit doesn't require thinking, just doing. Anyway, the point is, I'm sick of listening to myself and letting myself down. I know that it will be tough for a while. I know that I will be tired and sore and it will not be easy. I also know that I will adjust. I'll end up being less tired if I go than if I stay home. My energy levels will increase and I will sleep better. I know all this. I know it. So what if my problem? Laziness, old age, whatever. I'm over it. Time to put on my big girl pants and deal with it. What do I want? Do I want to have energy to do things or do I want to lay around the house being lazy? What do I want?

Time for bed now. I need to get a lot of sleep because tomorrow I AM going to crossfit.

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.
