Grateful for what we've got.

We started getting pools of standing water yesterday afternoon, but this morning, they had all been absorbed by the soil again. We had rain again overnight and all morning, stopping about midday, then starting up again, and now, stopped for the moment. The forecast for the week to come mimics those of ordinary monsoon seasons, but it may not arrive in the typical pattern, if recent days are any indication.

At any rate, we're just grateful for what we've got.

I would, however, like to put in a plea to whatever powers that be for more time — more hours in the day, or at least more available to me, because I am so very far behind now. As I said yesterday, I've been buried all last week under an avalanche of bureaucratic stuff, another avalanche of e-mails, most of which I haven't even seen yet, the occasional disruptive brown-out or full-scale power outage, and too many tasks to list here. I've got multiple tasks going at any given moment, and when I'm on here, it's because something is in between processes and I have a few moments where I can't really start anything else. 

This week is beginning with more of the same, apparently, and I have to get some of them off my desk and buckle down to the work of chasing sales. We just shelled out an absolutely ungodly outlay, all cash, between taxes this year and next, plus medical stuff for us both. To try to cope with it all, I've already canceled my ketamine therapy scheduled for next week; we have scrips to pay for and our next installment on taxes, and July is when my Patreon takes a big dive income-wise. And there are always more folks who need help. We need to make sales consistently, always. Wings' newest cuff posted too late yesterday to get much traction, but it's incredible, and you should click through to see it from all angles, here. And I should have his newest ring up later today, probably this evening sometime (I said earrings, but it was a ring, actually). So watch this space for that.

Meanwhile, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder, the Thermacell lanterns [the flies are already out, so the mosquitoes won't be far behind], and the Gorilla tape);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
