Knee pain

-

 All this sitting and laying around has caused knee pain. My right knee - that's my historically bad one - is swollen and achy. Also my back hurts. These are all clear indications that I am not moving enough. I need to move more. I need to get some exercise of some type in. So I walked the canal this morning. Mavy could not be convinced to walk out of the cul-de-sac, so I left him home and walked the canal. It was a bit uncomfortable. My knee was a little achy and feels swollen. My back was achy and uncomfortable. But I did it. I wasn't in any actual pain, just high levels of discomfort. So I did it. It felt good. I came home and folded the laundry from yesterday. On my feet. For an additional 41 minutes (I know this because I was listening to a podcast). It was incredibly uncomfortable. Still is even though I'm now sitting down and resting my legs. My legs have that heavy, kind of vibrating feeling that indicates I've used them too much. Bullsh*t. I call Bullsh*t. I lost a lot of weight just walking and if that's all I can do for the next 5 weeks, that's what I'm going to do. That means walking in the afternoon if I have to. In the heat. I'll survive. I can take water with me. It gives me an excuse to listen to my podcasts since I don't listen much during the summer. 

Okay, enough of that. Other than that, there is not much happening in my world. Things have been quiet, really, really quiet, since Chris left. He left on Wednesday morning and Hubby didn't even have a beer until last night. That was pretty good. 

Alright, I got nothing more. Just wanted to vent a little about the knee. I'm out.

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.
