Yesterday morning I got a very long massage. This is the third massage in sequence I have received that was over 90 minutes. I believe it will be the last of its kind. Every time I have come away with a terrible headache. Two days of excruciating pain. In the end, today I had caffeine, ibuprofen, lots of water, food, and a bit more of specific but gentle massage. It went away. I'm not sure what did it but I'm also not sure I care.
Because of this headache I slept most of yesterday and today away. Now that the headache is gone I'm left awake and with a considerable amount of energy. Not such a good thing to have at 1:30 in the morning on a day I need to be at work for 10 hours.
I used this new found energy to continue my candle making endeavors. I hadn't really dealt with them much since Imbolc and the following day because I have been fighting off the ick. I made a tall *pink* one for Itty Bitty, who is in love with all things pink. I made one fat red one to go with the fat green one I made last time. I poured two black tapers, one red taper, and one pink taper for use in ritual. I started melting down a batch of white but once it was melty I realized that I needed to filter it, given its filthy state, and that the container I have to filter molten wax into was already full of red wax that I needed to be using to back fill the red taper and pillar molds I had cooling. So the white is on hold currently and I will get back to it eventually.
I feel pretty good about what I have made thus far. I swear I have enough wax that I could make all the candles we need for ritual for several years without purchasing any more wax.
In addition to making candles, I have dyed wool for a special project I am plotting. It is nowhere near a solid color. It came out all mottled and tie-dyed looking. Kinda cool but soo not the look I was going for. Here's hoping that it'll work all the same. Especially since I'm not really sure there's anything I can do about it at this point. I did come out of the wash very very softy and nice though. Wool-silk-cashmere apparently likes to be softy and nice. I like plotting.
I think I've done everything I can for the stuff I was doing. Headache still gone and I'm starting to get tired. Here's hoping I can come home from work tomorrow and crash.
Love from MN, Amy out.
