Empty

Today my workplace is very v-a-c-a-n-t...almost eerily so.

I am one of 4 people here working today out of a normal almost 20 people.

The lab is usually bustling and busy and people talking everywhere and experiments going on like crazy.

Not today.

It ALMOST felt like a belated April Fools joke (haha, you are at work on a holiday!), but most of the lab is actually down in Florida for a cancer research conference. I got the short end of that stick!

I am stuck here doing more research and keeping things going.

But it is quite nice to have a little less crazy here and a lot more quiet.

And to top it off, it is going to be about 80 degrees today, so it will kinda feel like Florida weather!

Creative Sunday

I was feeling a bit lazy today but decided to give my hand another shot at trying some different candles out since the last couple times had been successful...

I bought a new mold (heart shaped) and some stackable candle templates (circle shaped)...

Here's how it went...

I bought new color and scents, so I tried out blue and lavender

I set out the empty tray templates

Filled them with the wax

Waited to pop them out, and then heated the needle, pushed that through the center to make a hole and threaded the wick through

And eventually ended up with a stack!

I then had leftover wax and made a small heart shaped candle with what was left...

Channing was also feeling lazy, but did not seem phased by my new artistic endeavors...he's a hard to please doggie some days!
