Stupid cold

-
Last Tuesday, Feb 6th, I started feeling sickly. It came on me after dinner as I was watching TV. I could feel my throat start to get scratchy and my sinuses were filling up. Ugh!! I did not want to get sick. But I woke up the next morning with a head cold. So I went to school on Wednesday feeling like crap. But I made it through the day. Thursday I felt a bit better and made it through the day. Friday I woke feeling really crappy and having no voice. Thankfully it was Friday and I spent most of the day lying on the couch watching TV and napping. Saturday I felt slightly better but stayed home from a party because I really wasn't feeling it. Sunday I felt pretty good, good enough to finish up the closet remodel. Woke up Monday feeling pretty darn good and thought I was on the mend. Then Tuesday it hit me again and I felt really crappy. Wednesday I still felt crappy and Thursday was only slightly better. The problem is that I have a busy weekend. Today it was Science Bowl practice in the morning and a car appointment in the afternoon. Tomorrow it's Science Bowl most of the day. Sunday it's a trip to Costco. The only highlight of this weekend is the Monday holiday.

The cold changes every day. One day I have a deep, wracking cough. The next day I have no voice at all. The next day I can't breathe because I'm so stuffed up. Ugh!!! I'm just tired of it. I think that I just need rest. I rested today when I could and am definitely feeling better. I'm hoping that Sunday and Monday can be spent just resting and relaxing so I can shake this stupid thing. Today is day 10 of the black death and I'm really, really over it.

That's all I have. Just some moaning and complaining.

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.
