Sales needed. Please share.

The photo means nothing, other than that it's the only halfway-decent shot I've managed today. I'm having an extraordinarily difficult time physically today (no, I do NOT feel like discussing it; that won't change a damn thing), and I screw up everything I touch. I also have a ton of other work to get done offline, so I want to get this up, out, and off my radar. If all goes well, I may have a new piece by Wings to post later. Or not.

The short version is that we really need to make 4-5 decent-sized sales today and tomorrow. We've made one; another four or so would take care of it the medical deadline bearing down on me the first of the week. It's going to take all I've got to get the rest of my work done today and deal with trying to make sales, so the rest of this is yesterday's cut-and-paste. I don't have the spoons, much as I hate that stupid expression, for conversation or dealing with well-meaning comments that have anything to do with my health, so please don't. Just . . . don't. 

Also, if you're thinking about donating, DON'T. Yes, I'm looking at you. No dipping into retirement funds or anything. People who want to donate? Give it to Bobby to help get Don Feliberto back into a real home. We know what it's like not to have one; we have one now, and donations need to go there to get this elder safe again. I posted a second piece at my other site a couple of nights ago about Bobby's efforts in Puerto Rico, including his adoption of Don Feliberto to get this abandoned elder into safe space again. That will tell you what he's up against, and my e-mail's in my Blogger profile here (or you can DM at Twitter/FB); hit me up for his addresses if you want to contribute, either cash (most needed) or household and other items, some of which you can purchase outright via the Amazon Wishlist Bobby's set up here.

What we need are SALES. Please. Spread the word. Valentine's Day is less than two weeks away, and Wings has produced some fabulous new work (a lot of explicitly Valentine's-like in imagery). If we could make about four really good sales over the weekend, the O2 unit would be covered (It's just over half-price, but full price is $5K, so that tells you what we're up against). Not donations. SALES. Send the link to our site to your friends and family. Spread it around on FB and Twitter and other social media.  My goal is $2,600 (plus tax) over the weekend, so that I don't lose this shot at mobility again. Here are the links: 

• Tonight's post elsewhere (what I feel like, but I couldn't run if my life depended on it);
• 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, with a new and fabulous pair of earrings just posted;
• 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.

I had planned to some new stuff to launch at my new site today (or, rather, long before today), but between lack of money and technical issues, that's still on hold. This business of ignoring my symptoms and my pain  and discomfort does seem to be helping my brain and body both find some sort of accommodation with this oh-my-god-you're-going-to-die thing that keeps happening, which is to say, every time it crops up, I smack it ruthlessly back down and force myself to sit and breathe through it. I dunno how long this will keep working, but I'm going to bulldoze my way through it as much as possible, DX or no. Thanks, everybody, from both of us, for everything.
