It's good insofar as it lets us get a little further on the wood weatherization. Painting upstairs today, to commence in a few minutes, now that the mercury has passed the magic 53-degree mark. This will be a difficult weekend, what with labor and pain involved. And despite this being the start of the second week of November, which should be prime holiday order season, we still have no holiday sales or commissions, and I'm at the end of my rope. Last of the fire, indeed, if we don't get some money coming in soon.
October's Patreon payment has already gone on bills (including the storage we're still paying for River and his mom even though he's not working here anymore), and there are still another ~$725 due next week (and more medical stuff for me in early December), and, yes, I'm scared. I need to bring in at least $1,000 this weekend just to cover [barring any new disasters] next week and the rest of the month, and I have no idea how when no one's buying.
We have got to make sales. Normally, Wings would already be in the middle of multiple commissions in the works by now, but nothing's normal anymore. I don't know what to do at this point; I can't conjure money from thin cold air. I posted two new pieces a few nights ago (links here) and another the night after that (links here). The new bracelet in the works is turning out not to be a bracelet at all; I'll explain when it drops, which might be this weekend. He has a number of other things in process, too; I'll post them as he completes them.
At any rate, my stress levels are off the charts along with my pain levels now. For those wondering about my own health issues, see here, although now there's a new wrinkle I'm not even going to bother to try to explain (suffice to say there's no affording treatment); with regard to the work being done, some of the details are here. Thanks to my Patreon subscribers (not sure who?) who updated their cards; I'm now down only between $25 and $50 for October. Still, I'm going to need help to get all this, the plumbing and everything else, done and handled, and I can't do it alone. Folks can help in several ways, and we really need it now:
Please share everything, because I'm suddenly back behind the eight-ball on a whole additional front, and yeah, I'm scared about covering everything and surviving, too. Thanks.
