I get days where there isn't much going on inside my head as well. Others where there is too much.

    Warm wax was part of a therapy I used to have on my hands - always remember being a wee bit scared of sticking my hands in the hot melted wax. This reminded me of how it felt.

    Clarification: this is not sarcasm, I actually do enjoy it. I've never put a lit candle on me though, that would hurt.
