Bones in the sky.
Bones that crack and dislocate and threaten to break all through my body.
Yesterday was the kind of day where the pain is unrelenting and damn near unmanageable. It's a little better today, purely because the storm is here. Not a heavy one, but a wet one, early rain mixed with snow that's turned now entirely to snow. Humid, heavy air with a lot of weight to it, despite the cold.
An no change for the better to speak of. Tomorrow, we have to cancel Wings's dental surgery yet again. Cancel this time, not postpone, because I have no idea when we're going to be able to scrape together what it will take to do this, and we can't keep setting appointments and canceling them the day before. We've got to make some sales; I've got to get this done, so that he can get this done. I can 't even keep the tools of my trade going.
Meanwhile, I'm reduced still 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). 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.
