A rescue falls through. Literally. Sales and subscribers and shares all needed.

Miskwaki, hoping against hope for a new companion.

We had a line on a potential rescue of sorts today that we thought might provide him one. Unfortunately, she fell in the trailer as the people were bringing her here and was injured, and that's not something we can take on. Poor guy is really lonely now; horses are herd animals, and should never be solitary. Eventually, we'll find one that works out, but today's girl was not it. She would've been a lot of work, too: unbroken (in the horse-training sense), in need of hydration and nutrition, left alone most of her life, apparently. We know how to deal with all of that, but starting out with a major injury is not doable for us now.

The day was spent on a ton of time-consuming errands and other tasks, and I didn't even get a chance to sit down to Wings's post until after 4 PM, so everything's late, and sparse, today. Still recovering from yesterday's events, too. No recurrence, thank all that's holy, but a near thing a few times. We got a little rain, but five minutes' worth is not gonna do it, on any front. I also have to figure out dinner yet, so the rest is cut-and-paste. 

We very much, very badly need sales and new Patreon subscribers, and since this is early July, if you subscribe today, you won't be billed until August 1st. We have got to make some sales, though. Here are the links and a request to share them, because without those sales and subscribers, I honestly don't know how we get through this:

• My new Patreon, The Interstices (Writing Between Worlds);
• Wings's site, for sales, with new items posted;
• Wings's direct PayPal link;
• A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to all of our medical bills, which continue to mount);
• Amazon wishlist, which mostly consists of animal and household stuff;
• 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).

I had said that I'd really like to raise another $500 in subscriptions before July is out, just to have a little more to throw to the medical wolves that are constantly at my throat. That never ends, either, and the stress is not helping with the cardio stuff. Now, we've got a lot more that needs to be done, too, and I'm damned if I know how. The truck was more than enough to throw a wrench in the works (and that's still unfixed, for the most part, given that just the one part is more than $1,200, so . . . ), but this thing with Shade? Out of left field. And once you're in it, you have to keep going; there's no way out but forward, whatever the result. So please, please share the links. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and kind words and other help for Shade. I know she was better off for it, and I know she appreciated that.
