Today is the day

 Bella's surgery. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit nervous, but overall I do feel pretty calm. I feel like we are making the right decision, even though I know that Charlie is still against it. But I feel pretty good about it. It's going to go well. I'm glad I'm not at work though, there is no way I would be able to focus if I was at work. I'll be working at home here, but that will help distract me from what is happening. 

In other news, I'm going to the gym today. My leg has been bothering me now for almost 3 weeks now and I'm over it. Completely and totally over it. I've tried resting and taking it easy, that didn't work. So it's time to try movement. I'm not going to go crazy, but I'm going to get moving more. I'm also going to find my pink knee sleeve and start wearing that. So it's to the gym today. Going to start with upper body and get a good workout in. I figure after I drop Bella off at the vet, I'll head straight to the gym to get my workout on. Then it's home to start working on my finals. I'm excited to get back to working out. 

I'm also fasting today because I've been eating more crap than is good for a person. I bought Belgian cookies for the lunch bunch and have been munching on them. Monday a teacher made cupcakes - had one. Yesterday another teacher made cinnamon rolls - had one. So yeah, feeling a little squishy and yucky. Hubby is golfing today so I'll be home alone all day. A good day to fast. Plus, I'll be able to pee whenever I want so I can drink tons and tons of water to flush the system out. I'm in. 

In spite of my knee, I'm going to work on my steps today too. I'm going to work on getting to 7500 today even if I do it 10 steps at a time. Going to work on standing more than I sit and moving, moving, moving as much as possible. 

Okay, it is going to be a great day. Bella is going to do amazing. I'm going to get lots done. And the sun is going to shine. Let's go.

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.
