It's snow.

We have had sun and storm simultaneously, multiple times today. We got about four inches of snowfall, but by now, there's only a half that left on the ground, because two or three periods of bright sun warmed everything so much that it began melting immediately. Still, it's snow, and small but decent amount, and we're happy.

And I am beat.

I have been running, flat-out, for six days straight. Not literally running, because I can no longer do that, but the pace I've been keeping and the amount of heavier labor I've been doing . . . apparently the chemo is affecting me in a very different way from most people, at least so far. Because that was when this started. I could not have sustained this week before, not even remotely.

But it's still exhausting. And I still have SO much to do. 

And through it all, I still have to make sales, of course. We've had a half-dozen now since T-Day, but we'll need to sell a lot more between now and year's end, obviously. My Patreon for the month is still down ~$250 at the moment [that's how much it was short on the December 1st payout for subscriptions for the month of November, and so far, all of those still haven't been paid]. My guess is that those won't materialize later in the month; that will be the penalty [or one of them anyway] for taking a vocal stand about the genocide being perpetrated against Palestine and its people now. Of course, we haven't brought in anywhere nearly enough sales all year across the board, even before recent developments that require a moral stand of us. It's grim.

And aside from all of that, I also need to bring in at least $6K in sales between now and year's end to cover tax prepayments, and we haven't hit the $1K mark on that yet. Normally, I would've been paying them quarterly, but not this year; we haven't had enough sales to do that, and I'm behind on everything else, too, all while my illness worsens seemingly by the day. Until those prepayments are off my desk, I can't relax, can't do anything other than push to get them covered. I really need help. As always, all the links are listed below, and sales are the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities now are Wings's Flex-Tape, and especially the vacuum, because mine has died a complete and ignominious death, and if I don't vacuum every single day, the dog hair takes over completely); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, and there will be much more in the days to come [some possibly as early as tonight! yes, I know I said that yesterday and the day before, but you've seen what my workload has been like this week, so here we are]. The way this year has gone, things will still be grim for a good while and the holidays are already here, so please share all of the links.
