Sick of being sick

-

Last week I felt like I was getting a head cold all week. My throat hurt and I had a slight cough. But I muddled through school since it was the last week before break. I knew I could make it. When Friday came around, I had this wonderful cough that sounded like I was coughing up a lung. It felt that way too. So I rested. All. Day. Saturday I didn't feel a whole lot better. If it was possible, the cough had gotten even worse. I did go run a couple of errands but otherwise took it easy most of the day. Yesterday was better, though my throat hurt from that damn cough. We went out to lunch and did some shopping and it was fun. Oh yeah, yesterday I only took 1 nap. Friday I took like 3 and Saturday I took 2. So there was a definite improvement. By last night I was feeling pretty good, but I didn't trust that feeling. I felt good Friday night and woke up worse on Saturday - at least the cough was much worse. I did sleep very well last night and I don't remember coughing at all. Woke up this morning still feeling good. Usually, mornings are when I cough the most, but there has been very little coughing this morning. I honestly think I've rested enough and today I'm kicking it back into high gear. I want to workout. I really, really do. I am tired of resting and feeling like crap. I want to move and do things. So I think I will today. I'm going to walk the dogs and go to crossfit and walk on the treadmill. I'm going to do laundry, work on my dissertation, and work on my planning for school. I'm going to do things. I will NOT take a nap. I will work until I'm exhausted and then I will fall into bed tonight and sleep like the dead. I know I can be lazy, but forced inactivity really grates on my nerves.

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.
