Winterizing. No progress health-wise. Sales/subscribers/shares all needed now.

Winterizing. It's down in the forties every night now, and while we haven't needed more than an extra blanket at night, it won't be long before we'll need the woodstoves again. I think the electric blanket will go back on the bed tonight.

I'm getting as much out of the way as I can early today, because I'm way behind, with a lot to do, and no progress on the health front: still this migraine, still the cough and scratchy throat, still the hobbling pain, still the breathing difficulties. I have to get moving on other things, because it all takes me several times as long as it should right now. Also, my brain function is nowhere near what it should be, so the rest is all cut-and-paste.

Meanwhile, not much has changed on other fronts; medical bills are still bedeviling me daily, or, rather, the collectors of said bills, and there are other big expenses coming up in the weeks to come. I need to bring in more income more consistently, and sales are the foundation for that. The rest is cut-and-paste; I have literally nothing left in the tank. All I can do is hope and pray that this episode burns itself out soon, because this? This is the stuff of nightmares, without the sleep. 

There are a lot of ways to help out. First, obviously, is sales; purchases of Wings's work (and/or work by the other artists whose art we carry) is always the first option, and it was the baseline for the construction in the first place. Second is subscribing to my Patreon page, which gets updated regularly with really cool imagery and a good amount of really good writing; if you now for September, you won't be billed until October 1st. Below there's also a link for "coffee," which allows folks to make small donations, and a couple of wishlists for keeping the animals in kibble and filling out needs around the house. In the middle is the link to Wings's PayPal account, and no, I won't turn away any donations, because we have to get this done and I have to have some peace of mind over it because I have none over my own survival these days). The only fundraising we'll be doing is right here; nowhere else. So here are all the links; please share them around, and if you are able to purchase, subscribe, donate, whatever, we'd be profoundly grateful:

• 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).

That all I've got. I'm going to be back under the gun for the next several weeks. Thanks to everyone in advance.
