A hell of a fan.

Sometimes she just shows off. Her man was a couple of branches below her, but it wasn't for his benefit; she was just feelin' herself. And she has a hell of a fan to preen.

All the wild creatures are loving this warmer weather; it's fifty-six degrees already at midday. Back to something a little more seasonal tomorrow, with an ~80% chance of snow. But two have a couple of glorious days without the wind has been a gift. The winds in prior days have shattered my body's fragile truce with the elements, and the last week or so has been nearly unbearable; I can only imagine how much worse it would've been if these lat couple of days had been like the ones before them.

Speaking of fans, or rather fan, as in fanning out, there's a lot of work to be done. Wings has to be able to get back into the studio, and he hasn't had any time. I've dropped three of my regular daily tasks entirely, and I still don't have enough hours in the day. And we're waiting for the other shoe to drop, pandemic-wise, because this state has botched it so badly with the constant early reopenings. People are going to need a lot more help.

The last couple of years have required us to dig deep and ante up to help others at a level we've never done before. This year? Has already buried that. But as I said about that being why we do what we do, especially now in these days of pandemic, it's become abundantly clear that too often, there IS NO tomorrow, and the only chance you might have to help someone stay alive is TODAY. Things are bad locally; no economy, nothing. No vaccines for most folks dependent on the state system, either. We have lost SO much to 2020 (and already in 2021), so very, very many people, and the gifts and the talents and the knowledge and the wisdom they carried too often lost with them. People have needed so much more help than we could give them, but we did as much as we could, even when it put us in a bind, and we will need to do much more of that this year. People continue to need help, and we give it, but we're up well over $2 grand and a whole lot more. 

I can juggle for now, but I've got to find it again somewhere. Part of my work involves me reorganizing the Web site and then promoting the hell out of everything again. That's on top of all the other work I need to do around here, and I have been mostly useless, largely due to the recent flurry of episodes with my health. For every episode, it takes me multiple days to recover, all while hoping that another one doesn't set me back even further. That's not good. Too many people need help, and the government remains determined to see us die. There's work to do. This is why I've had to stop doing some things; there are just not enough hours in the day anymore, and I've got to make it all of this up somewhere. So:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (copper/metal/glass cleaners on it are needed most);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And if you've been contemplating a purchase? This would be a very, very good time to do it; I've got to make it this staggering outlay somehow. There's even new work, here and here and now here, among other new pieces from 2 weeks ago, too, so please watch for them and share the links.
