So I've been really bad about sculpting lately. I didn't feel very good this weekend and Borderlands with the hubby has been so much fun. n_n'
But today I finally finished the tail! I still need to bake it but it is finished. It seems like a rather small thing but it took quite a while to do in a way that I liked! Tomorrow I'm going to work on the feet so I can bake the both of them together. I'm not sure how much I'm going to get done since making feathers takes a while.
In other news I got a couple of custom monster high dolls today! They were being sold off by someone on a forum I frequent because she was selling off some of her collection. I'm really excited to take pictures of them! They're so cute! :D I have to figure out wigs for them because she'd cut off the hair so that they could wear wigs, but I don't think I'm going to use the fur wigs she made for them. The hair remnants weren't removed because she wasn't intending to reroot so I'm going to have to find a good wig to hide that. So far they're both wearing Liv wigs that I'd bought for CAMS, I just cut out the pegs since the regular dolls don't have the hole in the head for that. They actually stay on without the pegs, I can even turn them upside down without them even moving so perhaps I'll cut the pegs out of all of them. It will give me more freedom to move the wigs around, especially since the wigs were made for Liv dolls, not MH dolls.
Also today I went and got my throat checked out by a specialist since I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat constantly. The feeling has gotten better but it's been worrying me since I got home from Pilot. I wasn't sure if it was something that had just gotten stuck there or what but I finally asked the clinic about it a couple of weeks ago and they referred me to the specialist.
In order to check out what was going on they stuck a camera up my nose and down my throat after spraying novicane up my nose so that it would work my way down my throat, taking the same route the bendy bit would take. Novicane tastes awful, I have to say. And that camera being stuck up my nose was in no way a pleasant experience! My nose still feels weird from the mining expedition that just was going on in there, though it feels better than right after the procedure and when the novicane wore off. It was actually rather sore! I guess I'd been expecting the camera to go down my throat via my mouth since the problem was below my mouth. I hadn't been expecting my nose to be the entry point. Ick.
There isn't anything there though which is good. The doctor actually said it's probably that I'm having acid reflux more often than I should and that I should take Prilosec OTC and come back in 6 weeks to see how that's treating me. Hopefully it helps! It really isn't as bad as it was back in July but for a few weeks there it felt like I had a pill stuck in my throat even though I knew there shouldn't have been anything there.
And now for weather news! It was so windy today, I was really nervous about that. The worst of the wind for today isn't supposed to hit for another hour though. I hope that no power gets knocked out! Tonight we're supposed to get gusts of 35-45 mph. In other areas though outside of the city there's supposed to be winds of 85-110 mph. o_O
I'm going to be so glad when the weather around here calms down to something more normal! This weekend was supposed to have some wind but it wasn't too bad. There was flooding though from the rain. That doesn't really help the wind worries though since the soil being wet and loose doesn't help the trees stay in place!
