HAHAHAHA read this out of context...
Oh, you guys are TOOOOO funny. LOL!
It's been a madhouse around here lately. Per normal. Prairieson went back to work today after nearly two weeks away from work with the flu. Amazingly, I haven't gotten it. Yet.
The new furnace is in, and it's amazing how much better I feel, health-wise, already. I firmly believe that old furnace was slowly killing me. I spend nearly all my time in the basement... My computer was behind the old furnace, and my studio is on the other side of the same room. I'm glad to be rid of the thing. It took the fellow three days to put it in, and during that time I couldn't do anything down here, especially work on my studio.
Last weekend and this, my best friend crashed here on her way in and out of the state. It was spectacular having her around. Much needed for me and, I think, for her as well.
Since the furnace guy finished up, I have been working non-stop on the studio. It's an "L" shape, and I am quite pleased with the end result. Today, I turned on the oxygen generator for the first time. Filled the tank, then bled it. Now I need to check my gas fittings for leaks. Once I'm sure they're ok, I can actually attempt to melt something.
I am a pretty brave and daring grrl, most of the time, but it's pretty intimidating having so much new and alien stuff to set up and get used to. I need to finish up and get comfy quickly, as I have an out of town student coming in the 26th and 27th. Yikes! She understands that she is my guinea pig: I have always sworn that I would never A) teach beginners or B) teach in my home. It should be interesting, to say the least :-) She seems very nice, and is coming from a long way away... Boston! I hope she leaves feeling that she is taking away with her more than just tips, techniques and data. I try to inspire my students with a love for the process and a diminished obsession with product.
I also finally installed the new hard drive I've been sitting on for a while. The computer has been unusuable for a few days, and for a few days before that, it was all covered in plastic to protect it from the fallout from the furnace removal and installation. The computer has been working great lately, and I really hated to tempt fate by ripping her open and shoving new equipment inside. While I was in there, though, I installed the DVD burner my ex got my for my birthday. Someday, I'll have the time to try it. LOL!
It won't be long before the RCB/WC gathering in Florida, affectionately referred to as Tinkapalooza! I hope everyone who is coming has a safe and uneventful trip!
Well, it's time to soap up my gas booster fittings and maybe... just maybe... actually get to melt something tonight. Wish me luck!
Tink
Luck!
Thanks for checking in Tink, I was wondering. Of course you knew that. Don't forget to show us pics of your new studio and you have a CO detector handy, yes?
/wipes sweat off of brow
OMG This is SO stressful. I'm charging up my O2 tank right now. There are so many darn dials and knobs... I feel completely stupid and inadequate.
I'm hoping to have good news (i.e. melted glass) to report soon.
Margie, I finally got around to checking my email. It's nice to know I'm missed and worried about. With someone like me, it never hurts to be concerned :-)

Hey, Vicki, looks like we're gonna have to go there and do something about it, huh?
Well, I *do* have an excuse: My cardiology appointment was for the
18th, which would NOT work because that was Day 2 of the new furnace going in. I had to reschedule it for after the 1st of the year.My GP really feels that the majority of my recent ickyness could be a direct result of the carbon monoxide situation. He agrees that I should see the specialists just to rule those things out, however.
One thing I am NOT supposed to do is work 20 hours a day, so I am going to bed like a good grrl. Well, a fairly good grrl... It is, after all, 2:30 AM. LOL!

[TAPPING FOOT]there wasn't ANYONE who could sit with them? i'm VERY glad you are feeling better, but don't ASSUME anything. we want you around for a very long time, missy!
and yes, it IS 2:30 AM!!!!!!!!

Nope. There wasn't anyone who could be here in my stead. Of my local friends, all are at least as busy as I am. It's now 3:30 and I'm still up.
I made a glass candy cane and a tri-color transparent hollow tonight. My very first things from my new setup...

Oh baby, I hope sitting on that hard drive felt GOOD. LOL -- out of all that stuff, THAT was all I could think of to say? Glad to hear it is all coming together and going so well, Tinkster.

Stupid and inadequate are two things you ain't! In a couple of days (like by now) you will rule that thing.
