I'm back again

-

 I'm a little down. I started the week with all these high expectations. I was going to do all the things and conquer the world. That didn't happen. And it's not that it didn't happen, it's that I know better. I know that I can't expect to do all the things at once. I get overwhelmed and do nothing. Guess what happened? I got overwhelmed and did nothing. So now of the things got done. I need to approach this slowly. As it says in Atomic Habits, start slow. Add one thing at a time and make it easy. I got into the habit of stretching at night because that is all I added. I got into the habit of blogging again because I put it at a time when I had some time, I put a time limit on it, and I only added that. I've been neglecting my second job because it's all too much for me. I've also been dwelling on the things I can't do, which means that the things I could do end up not getting done. UGH!!!!! For this weakless challenge thing, I'm not sure if I should post in the group or just tackle it on my own. If I'm feeling this way others are too, right? Maybe I will and see what happens. I'm moving more and more towards being over that group, but I'm not 100% sure yet so I need to make sure before I leave it. 

So I posted my concerns and all I got was a somewhat trite, "Well, if you can't fit it in don't do it." No real help at all. No possible options or maybe another way to approach it. So basically f*ck it. I'm still a little down after a trip to Costco and some lunch, so I'm going to go do something that makes me feel like I have some semblance of control.

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.
