So much running around my head

 that I'm not even sure where to start. I'll start with Bella. She is doing so, so well that now I feel like a jerk for waiting so long. To be extremely honest, I really and truly seriously considered not having it done. Now I can't imagine why. She looks so much better without that thing right in front. Her breath doesn't smell like something died in her mouth. She is breathing easier and just seems a whole lot more comfortable in general. I was going back and forth about doing this right up to the minute of surgery. I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do. Now I know that I made the right choice. She is so much better without that thing. It was worth every single penny. 

Now let's talk about my knee. 3 weeks!!! 3 freaking weeks!!!!! I'm done. Last night I did some foam rolling and it appears to be my IT band that is the major culprit. That's good, I can fix that. I also restarted my hip opener challenge. I think stopping that was a bad idea and could have added to the problem. So I'm back to it. The foam rolling and the hip opener was a little painful last night, but I could survive and I believe that ultimately it will benefit me. I'm mad as hell about this because I wanted to spend this break walking and hiking. Now I will spend it getting better. I guess it is what it is and there is no negativity so whatever. 

We just fed the dogs breakfast and Bella ate on her own for the first time. Yay!!!!  She is doing so well. 

Today I finalize my grades. I have all the written part of the final exams graded and I'm going into school to do the multiple choice part. Then I'm going to enter them all into the gradebook and boom!!! I'm done for 2 weeks. Yay!!!  I do have some serious planning to do over the break but I'm actually looking forward to that. I know that spending some time planning will make my semester easier and that makes it worth it. Plus, I don't have any real plans for this break so planning will be a good use of my time. 

Okay, I'm done. I need to get things ready to go to school.

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.
