Photo Study Tour and Interview

Went to interview at photo studio. Went well. Decision will be made tomorrow. Have to travel to Wichita, KS for a week of training as studio photographer and complete training at mall studio. Not sure I want the job since outside Christmas the studio is dead. Pressure to meet sales demands from corporate will be hard. Came home to hyperventilate in a full blown panic attack complete with tremors. Took a few minutes to calm back down.

Roommate has a new idea. He is going to use his grill ashes and make soap to sell or use in the house. He asked me to buy him lye, but I said my grandma used ashes to make lye. How does he do that? I told him to watch a video online. Believe me, videos making anything exist. He is not following an online recipe and trying to figure out his own. He's using ash lye, bacon grease, and water. His first batch had too much water. Next two batches he used tap water instead of fridge water. Fridge water is filtered and much better for soap than tap water. In fact, online recipes say to use distilled water but I don't have any in the house. But he has to figure out eveything out the hard way. He just can't use someone else's recipe for soap.
