Not a lot of snow, but brutal, bitter cold.

So yesterday's weather was a storm. Not a lot of snow, but brutal, bitter cold, and that's here today, too. Yesterday we had gale-force trickster winds worthy of spring, but enough to drive the wind chill dangerously low and create white-out conditions more than once; another squall. last night with spiraling winds and a mix of snow, sleet, and graupel; thunder and a lightning strike just outside the living room window, enough to depressurize the living room with that internal flash of light inside it and also visibly shake the double-paned glass windows in their frames. And, of course, the eternal battle of the brownouts, a couple dozen of them last night alone.

At the moment, it's dangerously cold and dangerously slick, but the power's currently up, the fires are blazing away, and the house is warm. I'm still waiting for FedEx to show up, thirteen days late and three full days wasted by their nonsense now. And the reason your order didn't have an NDN Silver sticker on the top of the gift box? Is their fault.

And despite the pain and lack of sleep and too few hours in the day and constant crap from capitalism and colonialism, I'm still trying to keep all the balls in the air right now, because if they come crashing down, everything shatters. And I've still got to get us out of this month and this year in one piece, and I can't do that unless our sales rate increases dramatically and immediately. Nothing else matters (to the outside world where these things have to be paid, and so I have to behave accordingly).

All the links are here; please, share them, too:

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, a lot of it new, so please share all of the links.
