Not particularly looking forward to it.

I'm so glad yesterday's done. Wel, for another year, anyway. I was completely unprepared — blindsided, actually — by how hard it hit me this year. And, of course, there's all the rest of it. 

At the moment, I'm just glad that at least we've got some good color on our trees, and flawlessly clear air today. I'm going to need it, because in a few minutes I have to be out there with Wings, Miika, the horse vet, and the farrier. It'll be the first time since we lost Miskwaki, and I'm not particularly looking forward to it.

Not looking forward to the costs, either. This week has been ridicuously epxensive, as was last week, and no matter how hard I try, I can't juggle enough to get caught up. There's no end to it, especially now that I'm dealing again with all the stresses of an IRS screwup. I have got to make some sales this week. I've got to bring in a low four figures to deal with everything, because even though it's their mistake, we will still have to pay it, so I need to get this off my desk now, need it like I need air to breathe, because I'm not breathing very well at the moment trying to juggle it all. 

There's a ton of new work on the site already. The holidays will be here before you know it. [And speaking of which, we're already into the holiday season here from a creative perspective, and I have got to bring in enough for him to order silver, which has tripled in cost this year. My stress levels are off the charts right now, and that's jacking my pain levels and insomnia into the stratosphere. I need help, and I don't have it.] All the links are here; please, share them, too:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priority is first and foremost, the wheelbarrow, then the other ladder);
• 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 late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's 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.
