| Week One: |
|---|
|
A new project has been dreamed up for this month. DO has "conned" us (Jim and myself) into making gel candles! We got smart and hit the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores here in town and bought up all the interesting glassware that we could find. Although I didn't feel too great on the "pouring" days, I did visit for a while and help in the creation of many of the candles shown below.

Week Two: |

Speaking on not feeling well, I haven't been doing too good lately. My problem started a little over a week ago with a tickle in the back of my throat. Of course, I was freaking out and started shining the flashlight down my throat looking for any sign of thrush. Within a week though, I realized it wasn't thrush; but something else, located in my esophagus. I began to think that I was having an acid reflux problem. This problem was so painful and bad, that I ended up sitting in the ER for about 4 hours this past Thursday. Unfortunately, with a scope down my throat, the ER doc wasn't very helpful. His advice was to talk to my own doctor. Of course, I blew off my last doctor's appt. in July and have been very non-compliant in taking my medications. So I'm going to have to make-up with my doctor and get this taken care of soon.

Jim exchanged a few of the gel candles he made for this lovely wire and stone sculpture for DO. |

Week Three: |
|---|
| Vandalism!! |
| I woke up the other morning to find that my front yard had been vandalized! Several of the small yard lights around the walkway and fountain were totally busted up, while the irises were ripped out by the roots and thrown into the fountain. |
 |
| Doggie Haircuts |
|---|
| The boyz haven't had haircuts in months because I dropped my clippers on the floor and busted a small piece. I finally broke down and bought a new set of clippers and the boyz ran to hide. LOL They don't hate haircuts; but they don't really like getting them either. Poor Zeus had such a topknot before his haircut, that Jim tied it up and made Zeusie look too goofy. |

| More Candles |

This time we made a ton of Christmas candles. We've already sold quite a few of our candles - and that's before anyone had a payday! Hopefully, we'll move some more of them this weekend, so Cliff will be able to walk around in his house again.  |
