Swollen

-

 as in my fingers and my arms are swollen. I'm not sure why exactly. I did spend a lot of time in the pool yesterday and I did not drink a lot of water while in there so that could be the culprit. But I'm just not positive. I do know that I will be drinking a ton of water today to get rid of this swelling or inflammation or whatever it is. I'm done with it. 

In other news, I walked the canal by myself again. I am determined to get at least 7500 steps in every single day and to help that I plan on walking the canal every day. My plan was to take Mavy with me since he needs the exercise too. Yesterday he walked around the cul-de-sac and then pulled me straight home. So I left him and walked the canal alone. He did the same thing today. So I walked the canal alone, again. Yesterday it was hard to walk it. I was walking slow and my right hip and knee hurt. It was not that fun. Today was much, much better. I did stop at the electrical box on the canal and stretch a little, that helped a lot. I actually walked a tiny bit further today in less minutes. So while I'm not breaking any land speed records, I'm doing better and better. That's all I can ask. 

Today I face things I've been putting off. I have a pattern of avoidance when I'm not sure exactly what I want or I'm not sure how to get what I want. So for example, I need a new vet for Mavy and I really want one who will listen to me and help me figure out what is wrong with him - because there is something wrong. I'm not sure the best way to go about getting that, so I've just been avoiding trying. I can't do that anymore. I have to figure out what is going on with him. I also have to face some other things in my life and I need to start doing them today. 

Okay, having said all that, I'm off to figure out exactly what the plan is today.

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.
