Morning Brain Dump

-

 Got nothing to really write about this morning, so I'm doing a bit of a brain dump. 

In spite of all my preparing for the last 2 weeks, I literally do not know what I'm doing today. Awesome!! I personally love scrambling during first period to figure out what I'm doing in class that day. Yay!!!

Tired, so, so, so tired. I realized yesterday that part of the reason I was so tired is my complete lack of activity for the last 2 weeks. I don't know what my average daily step count was but it was low. Very, very low. I know that one day I only got around 2,000 steps. I now see the problems with that and I'm going to fix it no matter how much it hurts. And trust me, it hurts. Yesterday my feet and legs were killing me. Killing!!!! Me!!!!!

Which really brings home the importance of working out and doing things. I've used the fact that 'I don't feel like it' for long enough. I may not feel like working out in the moment but I definitely don't want to feel this way again. 

It is good to be back into a routine though. During break I spent so much time sitting around, playing games, and generally not doing anything productive. It does feel good to be back into a routine and do things again. I'm even able to keep moving and doing during class which is awesome. After class I completely collapse, but hey, whatever. 

The knee seems to be feeling a lot better today. Woke up to it being a little stiff, but once I got moving it felt great. Yay!!! Baby steps with the knee. 

I got nothing else. I'm sitting here typing this and yawning. I literally just got up, why the heck am I yawning? But that's how incredibly tired I am. That's okay, it will pass and I will adjust. I let the break get to me too much. I was very inactive. I slept in too late. All that adds to this exhaustion but I know that I'll get through it. 

Okay, about a minute and a half until my tree is done. I have traffic duty this morning and science bowl this afternoon. Wednesday is always the hardest but Thursday is usually awesome. I do love having 4 day work weeks. Hopefully by next week I'll be completely back into the swing of things. 

And now I wait for the tree to be done growing.............

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.
