Brain Dump

To whoever wrote the ridiculous commercial regarding cancer research or whatever it was:

Cancer is NOT smart. Cancer is a particular kind of cell.

Cancer is not capable of learning. Cancer doesn't have feelings. Cancer isn't out to kill the host. The fact that it does doesn't mean anything to the cancer. The cancer isn't afraid of being eradicated. It exists, like a cold, the flu, flies, mosquitoes, parasites. None of those things has an agenda. They are a part of life, which doesn't mean people should give up and give in.

Please, continue to search for cures, but lying about the problem won't help.

Suggesting that cancer has a mind of its own, bent on destruction, is fear mongering. Stop it.

New Meme...

One of the most recent novellas published. Thanks Donna Keevers Driver for the meme:

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:

Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. So my SEAL puppy reps (SEALp) consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each.  Since my accident I haven't done these, but I'm working to add them back into my routine. Currently, I can't sit on the floor and hope to get up again, so crunches and flutter kicks are on hold, and my pushups are against the wall.

Using 2-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises and pushups

SEALFit shared some good hints I want to learn and remember:

11: 2-mile walk. PT. UBP. x3. Stretch.

12: Rest.

13: 1-mile walk. PT, without weights x3. Stretch. 2 hours of yard work, clearing fallen branches.

14: PT, without weights x1. Stretch.

15: 1-mile walk. PT. UBP. x2. Stretch.

16: PT. UBP. x1. Stretch.

2 hours of yard work, clearing fallen branches, blessedly with help from the neighbors. Thanks to father and son, Jim and John, who brought their chainsaws and a pickup to move the rubbish.

Another busy day ahead

Blessedly no cleanup today.
