It happened again

-

 I took a rest day on Wednesday and I haven't done anything since then. This is something that I truly need to work on. I can't keep starting and stopping and starting...Ugh!!! It made me crazy years ago, it will definitely make me crazier now. So, while I realize it's after the fact, let's do a little analysis: 

Thursday 10/6:  Last day of school before fall break and I came home exhausted. Completely and totally exhausted. The plan was to take off another day and pick it back up on Friday. 

Friday 10/7: This morning we went axe throwing with some of the other teachers. That was super fun. After we went out to lunch and hung out for a few hours talking. Great morning. But that afternoon I did not feel like working out. So I didn't. 

Saturday 10/8: Got up and walked Mavy and really had good intentions for the rest of the day. However, we got our Covid booster and flu shots this morning and by afternoon I was exhausted. I felt weary in my bones. So there was no working out today. 

Sunday 10/9: Woke up feeling a little sore in the arms from the shots, and my neck was a little sore like when you are getting sick. Spent most of the day just tired. Really, really tired. We also had some friends over to watch football. When they left all I wanted to do was lay down on the couch. 

So I need to stop the hemorrhage here. I feel okay this morning. My immune system is clearly working but I'm feeling good. So today I will walk the dog and get my workouts in. He is going in for grooming today since we are leaving on our trip on Wednesday. Also, today we say good-bye to little Lolz. It's sad but I can't watch her struggle around here anymore. She can barely walk and there is really no life left in her. 

So there it is. Analysis is better than nothing.

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.
