Today I am still writing . . . good thing . . . and I am fascinated by the tea light that has been burning for 8 days now.  I add wax as it burns down and it just keeps burning . . . honestly there could be no wick left.  My mind won't let it go so I have to tell someone.  My newest theory is that it is burning the creosote build up somehow staying lit.  It makes me laugh because I lit it the first day I began writing this and it is still burning . . . 

I'm now gauging days by this candle . . . I've been working all morning, swearing to myself this book will be finished and all I can think is how I want to write an article about the candle that kept burning and burning and burning . . . seriously, it is fascinating me, now it's a challenge. 
I can even do the math, I burn an average of 3 tea lights a day, that's 37 cents per day, Jesus candle cost 85 cents.  Utilizing the wax from the 85 cent Jesus candle I have saved, so far, over $2.  I want to shout that out to world and somehow, laughing, I do not think they will care.
