Then there's everything else.

[Emendation:  Clearly it's back on now. But this is way past old by now.]

JUST getting this ready to post, and the damned power goes out.

AGAIN.

No, there’s no weather-related reason for it. They’ve just completely overloaded the system with colonial invasion.  So now I have no idea when everything will post. It’ll all have been written today, but it may not be able to go up until tomorrow.

Or Friday. Or next week. Who knows?

And I wouldn’t even BE this late with it if I hadn’t had to deal with other nonsense all day today, the biggest of which is a direct result of this country’s fucked-up notions of “health care.” It has nothing to do with health, and it’s certainly not care. But here we are.

Meanwhile, we’ve learned the family friends have had a tragedy, and there may come a time when a GFM is needed, and if so, I’ll be working on pushing that. And we have a big, BIG expense coming out of our pockets on Sunday, because the guy we get our hay from (now that the drought has killed ours) has some good-quality stuff, suitable for Miika’s health conditions, the he’ll let us have for $17 a bale . . . as long as we buy 70 bales. And we don’t have a choice, because the drought has killed everyone else’s, too (he’s hauled this in from elsewhere), and if we don’t get it now, by winter there won’t be anything at all, never mind anything edible, and people will still be charging at least $25 bucks a bale for what little weed-riddled crap will be left. For the last 6 years, most of them have been gouging folks left and right for a piddling amount of absolute trash hay.

Then there’s everything else.

Thinking that we were okay for now was entirely predicated on the assumption of consistent sales for the second half of this year; if we don't make them, then no, we're not okay now, because I have to make everything stretch a lot further than it can possibly go. There's a lot of new work on the site already, and I had planned to post Wings’s newest tonight, that incredible cuff I showed here in progress yesterday (but who knows when that’ll go up now). Actually, that's it up there, but I just grabbed the first shot, not the best one. It's unlikely I'll have it up on the site yet tonight, but we'll see; more likely tomorrow. Meanwhile. Wings has more silverwork and gemstone bead items in rotation, too. All the links are listed below, so please share:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (current priority still the Zero-Odor sprays, because these days we're back to wet dogs again; and the liquid soaps, which we can't get locally); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

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