Life is good

-

 Really, really good. It has now been about 3 weeks since C stopped drinking and things are good. Really, really good. He is so much easier to talk to. I don't try to avoid him all night now. Life is just awesome. I enjoy being around him. I enjoy talking to him. We laugh a lot. It's like it used to be. It hasn't been that way in a long, long time but I never even realized it was changing until I couldn't take it anymore. But these last 3 weeks have just been amazing. 

Now, on to me. I did get a few workouts in this week, but not as many as I wanted. So I truly believe that my WHOOP is messing with my sleep patterns only because I'm paying attention to it. I had gotten my sleep dialed in and was getting awesome sleep. Then I started wearing that and listening to what it said I should be getting and it's just screwing me up. It is currently having issues with connecting with my new phone and I need to let the battery drain completely to try and fix it. So I'm going to use that as an excuse to not wear it for a few days and see if I can get my sleep back on track. I know that I need 7.5 hours of sleep. I also know that I should wake up at the end of a 90 minute sleep cycle. So if I back track from the time I get up, 4:15am, to when I should go to sleep I get a go to sleep time of 8:45pm. That also gives me exactly 5 90 minute sleep cycles and I wake up at the end of one. But to go to sleep by 8:45pm I would need to be in bed by 8:15pm. I like to read for 30ish minutes or so. So that is my goal tonight and every night this week. In bed by 8:15pm and up at 4:15pm. I do need to figure out an alarm though. I've been using the WHOOP as my alarm. So I need to work on that today. 

Along with the sleep I need to create a workout schedule and really stick to it. One of the things that has been screwing me up a little bit has been the pool. C still wants to go in the pool every day after school. I'm good with not doing that and just going in on the weekends. The weather is a lot cooler, the sun is not as high in the afternoons, and honestly it's just not as much fun. So I think I'm going to tell him that the pool is pretty much out during the week and I will save it for weekends. That allows me time to workout before dinner. So I'm thinking of this: 

Monday: Supernatural

Tuesday: Upper Body

Wednesday: Rest (this is my late day so I will use it as a rest day)

Thursday: Lower Body

Friday: Supernatural

Saturday: Supernatural

Sunday: Supernatural

That should be completely doable. I love Supernatural and have really lost the momentum so time to get back into that. I will also be adding dog walks in soon, as soon as the weather gets cooler. If I make sure to leave by 3:45pm every day I will have plenty of time to do all this. 

Okay, I'm done. Going to write this all in my planner so I have it right in front of me daily.

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.
