Struggling today.

They're beginning to open today — the pear blossoms. Not fully open yet; that will probably take a couple more days, maybe the weekend. The late cold and the wind have made it hard for them, and all that smoke from someone's fire up the road last night (yes, with the winds, far too close for comfort). And the winds are bad today, with another red flag warning. Which is probably why my joints are such mess, why my right (and dominant) thumb is subluxed badly, and all of that is why I'm struggling today. 

And I've got to get a lot done offline, never mind online. I'm so far behind today, because when you lose most of the use of your dominant hand, it makes everything a thousand times harder. I just hope it resets itself overnight, but the reality is I've probably got several days like this ahead of me.

We also have a lot to get done on the business front, beginning with bringing in enough sales to let us prepay all of next year's quarterly taxes. We have new work: two new pieces, a cuff and a pendant, posted here the other day, and another new cuff that I posted yesterday. The first cuff is also today's feature at NDN Silver. All three are incredible, and all need to find their homes. Everything's listed below, so please share:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (new priority, because I've been forced to eliminate another staple from my diet just to function rather minimally, and someone mentioned that perhaps our old non-stick pans, which are in fact long since well beyond their useful date, are making the matter worse, so there's a non-PFAS replacement set at the top that would help with cooking/cleanup/my hands/my illness; and yes, the Zero-Odor sprays are still useful right now, although these days it's dusty dogs, not wet ones); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

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