Head Cold

-

 Well, I spent the week sick. On Wednesday I was really not well enough to go to school, but due to sickness and/or field trips, there were just no subs available. So I went in and struggled through. It was fine. The kids were really amazing. I told them I was sick and they were just spot on both days. That made things manageable. Also, it was only 2 days, so I was able to struggle through. 

This head cold was fairly miserable. I was stuffed up and had trouble breathing for about 3 days. Sleeping was difficult for about 3 nights. I could basically only sleep on one side because every time I rolled over my nose would plug up and I couldn't breathe. That was miserable. Last night, for the first time since Monday, I could breathe while I slept and I could turn over and not wake up. That was amazing. Still a little stuffy this morning, but definitely feeling better than I've felt all week. 

This weekend I have got to get some structure in this room. Things are in process all over the place. Paper is everywhere. Things are just crazy in here. I need to get things organized and put in place so that I can function. I also have to get ready for my craft fair next weekend. That is my plan for the weekend. Thankfully Hubby is golfing on Sunday so I do get a day on my own. Woot Woot!!!!

Needless to say my activity level has tanked this week. Having trouble breathing tends to limit your movement. I'm rather proud of myself though because my eating has been good. Yesterday I gave into the hunger and had a Grandma's cookies. They really didn't taste that good but I was hungry and gave in. That's the only setback as far as eating goes. Otherwise, I stuck to good food. I honestly didn't even really want junk. When I got hungry, and when I got hungry I was really hungry, I craved good food. I wanted lunch or dinner, I did not want junk. That is a huge victory. I did not want to make myself feel even worse by eating junk food. So that was really good. 

The other good news is that I really want to work out. I'm feeling sluggish and squishy and I'm ready to get back to working out. I can't yet, because I really can't breathe properly but soon. Soon. I'm thinking of trying tomorrow but Sunday for sure. Definitely Monday, without a doubt. 

Okay, I'm done for now. Time to do something constructive.

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.
