It's so very morning...
Well, the allergy attack from hell seems to be slowly abating. I can mostly breath and my throat feels better. So why I was up at 4 a.m. today I don't know. But I didn't get back to sleep like I hoped I would. Maybe I'll nap this afternoon.
I spent from about six until just now (a tad before 8) stalking the internet for new blue soap dye. Doesn't that sound stupid? I mean... sheesh, you wouldn't think this would be so damn hard. The problem is that the stuff I really, really, really like because it's UBER concentrated, apparently isn't made any more. So I had to hunt for a blue that starts out deep, dark blue. I have a ton that start out cyan (top soap), but adding black to those just gives me a bluish gray that isn't what I want when, say, I'm doing this set. So, yeah. The great Blue hunt was on. And while I was at it I looked for a red that didn't skew purple. So I'm getting one kind of blue and another kind of red and we'll see what happens from there. (I have a bucket of yellow that's, you know... yellow. It's fine. And I found a highly concentrated brown I like ages ago.)
Kári gets a poke in the butt today. It's his monthly cancer poke in the butt. It's annoying to have to drag him out there every five weeks or so, but the good news is he's responding amazingly. He even has the fur back where his tail and butt meet. And he's all soft and slinky again. Not as soft and slinky as Logi, but that's largely due to the fact that Logi is part Falkor, I swear.
Okay... I need coffee. Then I want to get a few more mock ups set up in the kitchen before I take Kári in so that I can shoot them when I get home. Oh, and I need to boil some silicone molds that didn't take too kindly to having crayons made in them. Which then did some pretty icky things to the inside of my dishwasher. That'll be fun. :p
