Sentries and journeys. New work at Wings's site. Sales/shares/good vibes still very much needed.

What we saw when we came home from running errands this afternoon. When I first moved here, well over a decade ago, those three willows were still barely more than baby trees. Now they're warriors, sentries who guard the west boundary.

Not up for much tonight. Yesterday was so bad, physically, that I crashed hard around 7:30 and didn't get up until around 8 this morning. No, I didn't sleep all of that, or even much of it, but I was too wiped out to get out of bed. Today was only marginally better. I need them to find this problem and work on getting it fixed, but we're no farther on that than two months ago. I can't function like this. 

There are several new works at Wings's site tonight. One is a necklace-and-earrings set; the rest are three new pairs of earrings. The set is cross-posted in both the Necklaces and Earrings Galleries, and you can see them all at the Earrings Gallery. The rest is pretty much cut and paste, because I don't have the ability to brain my way through anything new.

And given that there's the neverending worry over money, we need all the good vibes we can get. We have so much to deal with this year (and I'm not even talking about the house; look at what the last two months have been), and I have no idea how we're going to do this, but all I can do is put one foot in front of the other, so here we are. And the only way, as far as I can tell, that we're going to do any of it is through sales, so we still need all the shares and all the sales we can get. There'll be no new work on the house for some time yet, obviously. If I'm feeling up to it tonight (a big if, at this point), I'll be posting a small necklace and earring set plus three new pairs of earrings at his site (in their respective galleries), so check back over there (and on FB and Twitter) later on tonight. Here are the links; please continue to share them consistently (and the rest is cut-and-paste, mostly): 

• Tonight's post elsewhere (a little journey via Wings's favorite of the shots I took today);
• A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to She-Wolf's & my medical bills);
• Wings's direct PayPal link;
• Wings's site, for sales;
• Wayfair gift cards, to replenish all the furnishings that the RV has destroyed in one way or another.
• Partial registry #1, from Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are new kitchen-y things on it now, stuff that I didn't realize we'd need to replace (either because the RV ruined it or because we gave it away when we had to downsize).
• Partial registry #2, from Wayfair. There are some things left on both registries that I thought by now I might be able just to buy outright, but medical bills (mine and She-Wolf's both) have to come first.

As I said last night, I am still not sleeping, and tonight, I feel like absolute crap. I really do need whatever vibes folks have for getting this DX'd and dealt with, because besides scaring the hell out of me 20 times a day, I'm really not good for much right now. Still, it's a gift to wake up each morning, even when the wind chills are teens or below.  Thanks, everybody, from both of us, for everything.
