Rough Day

-

 So yesterday ended up being very rough. I got up, meditated, blogged, and headed to the showers. After the shower I walked Mavy then headed off to the gym (I'll come back to this in a minute). After the gym we had a boatload of errands to run. First it was to the Roadrunner Tent Sale in Tempe Marketplace. That was a zoo. We waited in line for a little over an hour to pay for our purchases. Then it was off to the Business Costco to stock up on snacks for the Science Bowl cart and drop them off at school. Next it was In n Out for some lunch. Then to the regular Costco to get stuff for ourselves, then finally home. It doesn't sound that bad when listed out like that, but all that stuff took over 5 hours to do. We left the house at 10 am and did not get back until 3:30pm. Ugh!!!!! And I was hanging a bit due to poor sleep and not enough water the day before. Yeah, it was rough. Haven't had a day like that in quite a while and I don't miss them at all. 

Today will be another day. Going to shower, then walk Mavy, then I would like to get to the gym but Bella has a 9:30am appointment with the dentist for the growth in her mouth. So I'm not sure if there will be time for the gym. I will go after her appointment though. I'm not missing the gym today. Oh yeah, the bug people are coming this afternoon too. So many, many things. 

I've been working hard mentally on changing my thinking on workouts. I had it on my agenda yesterday and tried to give it much thought, just did it. I need to do that again today. It's on the books, I just need to get it done. Putting working out on autopilot is difficult but necessary to get through this mental block about it. 

Okay, time to get moving.

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.
