A sign . . . but of what?

Lines in the sky. They extended 360 degrees, meeting at the east and overhead. We've seen this phenomenon many times, but never covering our small world here so completely. It also occurred just as we ventured outside the studio for a moment, and vanished just as fast.

It's tempting to see it as a sign . . . but of what?

All we can do is hope it's a good omen, at this point. Heaven knows there's enough else to worry about without anything new. But thank all that's holy, as I said yesterday, we have some light at the end of the tunnel on Wings's dental work. It probably won't be (can't be) rescheduled until sometime next month, even if/when. But there's hope.

Unfortunately, I'm still reduced to trying to get work done with a torn ankle and subluxed hips and knees, and now two barely functional hands, and a laptop that continues to deteriorate by the day (a camera, too, and both are essential for our work — not just mine, but his). The pain is . . . very bad these days. It's not a function of weather or cold, mostly, but of deterioration. In desperation, I'm adding one last supplement, a costly one, in hopes of getting it to ease off even a little, but it won't be in until next week. I'm also trying to plan for all the expenses of winter to come. The Pueblo closure is slated to last two full months this time, so it will be worse than usual. In that period of time, there will be taxes to pay, his scrip to keep refilling, his dental work to try somehow to get done, and forget about my own follow-up tests, to say nothing of plumbing/wall repairs or all the work still unfinished on the house; I'm scrapping everything, because we can't afford it. Yes, I'm due for follow-up scans and biopsies already, and they're not going to happen, because we don't have five figures' worth of scratch to waste on it. I've still got to make sales, try to drum up new Patreon subscribers, do whatever I can to bring in more money, all on top of everything else. Folks can help in several ways (sales are always preferred):
Please share everything. Thanks.
