Now it's the dog's knee

 Mavy has been limping on and off for a while. A few weeks back he slipped on the floor and screamed for a good 2-3 minutes. Then he started limping more often. Took him to the vet and they put him on Rimadyl for 10 days to see if it would help. Nothing. Called the  vet back and said what's next? So yesterday they put him on Gabapentin for 10 days to see if that helps. In the meantime, that makes it hard for me to walk after work because if I don't take him, he will carry on like a fool. But I want to walk. I may take clothes to change into and walk on the way home. That would be amazing. Except yesterday, it was raining. And it's supposed to rain today too. Hmmmm...bad timing for my idea?  I did come home and do about 45 minutes of Supernatural. It was awesome. I really, really like that. I do some boxing first and then I do some flow which is just hitting at balls that come at me. I love it. I always warm up with a little BeatSaber, usually Lady Gaga. That's fun too. 

Yesterday I wore a pair of pants that I have been avoiding for months. Months!!! The last time I wore them they kept slipping down and I had to keep pulling them up - not because they were loose but because they were too tight. Yesterday I wore them and they were so comfy all day. Not a problem at all. I have lost a few pounds and I am starting to feel it. 

I just did something stupid and I knew it was stupid even before I did it. I had weighed myself right after I got up this morning as per usual, but I just went to the bathroom and decided to weigh myself again. It was up almost a pound. Now logically I know that is completely impossible. Completely. But it is interesting how easily weight can fluctuate. All I did was meditate and drink some coffee and it went up. Crazy. A good lesson though that the number on the scale is not the be all and end all. It is just another piece of data in this crazy experiment called life. 

I forgot to grow a tree today, so I'm going to assume that it is close to 10 minutes and call it a post. I have to get ready for work today and there is a lot to do.

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.
