I got up early this morning ( 5:30 a.m. ) with the intention of doing a little volunteer church work at the local LDS meat packing plant before going to work on the GODZILLA PROJECT. Unfortunately, when I woke up, I had the dry heaves, a bad migraine headache, itchy eyes and a runny nose. I dropped by the meat packing plant just to let them know that I felt sick and thought it would be best if I didn't go to work there this morning for fear of contaminating the meat with some sort of virus. I have an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's nothing too serious. My biggest fear is catching pneumonia or bronchitis again. I can't afford to be out of commission for 3-4 weeks again. If it is something like that, perhaps I caught it early enough that a Z-Pak of antibiotics will kill it within just a few days.
In spite of how I felt, I did go to work on the mural today. I managed to paint an area of sky about eight feet by seventy-five feet of it ( not quite half, but almost ). My goal is to have the sky pretty well blocked in by Wednesday. So there I was, high as a kite, doped-up on Thera-Flu and Exedrin Migraine, up in the air painting clouds.

ELK CLOSE UP
I'm not really a wildlife painter, yet I feel pretty good about how this bull elk turned out.

THis looks so real, it's like you can walk right through it! Pick any door.
