And now it's Sunday

 We have one more week and then spring break. The break will be nice. 

Yesterday we went to the Oddities & Curiosities Expo. It looked interesting but it was not what I expected. It was basically a craft fair of weird stuff. Eh, it was fun. After we went to Huss Brewery for lunch and that was nice. 

The best part of it was that it was just nice to get out. We have spent the last few months holed up in the house. We go to the store and out to lunch occasionally, but that' s about it. It was nice to actually get out in the public and do something. Need to work on that more. It was kind of funny though getting ready. We are in the season where it is cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon, and there may or may not be a wind blowing that will be chilly. So how do you dress for that? Also, this time of year I end up with tons of laundry because of all the clothes changes because of the weather. Can't wait for summer when I live in my bathing suit and dress. Boom! Done. 

So for the past week or two my knees have been killing me. When I get up from sitting they are painful and it takes a few minutes to sort of lubricate them. Walking is fine except for the shooting pain I get in my right knee every once in a while out of the blue that makes me cry out. I'm not sure what the problem is, though I have an idea. I'm heavy. Heavier than I've been in a long, long time. I think that is part of it. That and the sitting. I sit a lot. And I mean A. Lot. Of course, everything I do is done from a sitting position. Working on the computer, crafting, etc. But I need to get up and move more. Oh, I just had a thought. I think I'm going to start doing Supernatural again. I used to do it for 15 minutes in the morning, why can't I do that again. That really helped me get going every day. I'm going to do it this morning. Then I'm going to figure out what I want to do the rest of the day. I kind of want to craft. And I kind of want to read. We'll see who wins.

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.
