Everything costs money we don't have right now.

He's been up on ladders every damn day since last Friday or so, and I'm not happy about any of it. Not the pruning; definitely not the roof nonsense. At his age, someone a lot younger should be dealing with this. 

Unfortunately, that costs money.

Everything costs money we don't have right now.

This past week, it's been the $563 for the tumbler, which, given Wings's work, wasn't something we could delay; also more than $200 to replace the battery in the ATV [also something that can't be delayed around here, with the kind of heavy labor required]. Now I'm going to have to shell out a whole hell of a lot more for Web hosting and migrating our site, too; the medical stuff coming up for us both this week [and my medical stuff ranges from hopeful to, you know, that whole terrifying thing]; the annual chimney cleaning in 3 weeks; the need to get the roof fixed before the rainy season really gets under way [ever hopeful on that score]; and somehow, some way, I have GOT to put a big chunk on taxes. And I have no way to do any of it. And I am so, so tired.

We've GOT to make sales now.  Desperately.  I need help; I can't do this alone.

I've put up a bunch of new work lately:  new cuff bracelet the other day, here, and it's fabulous, with an extraordinary focal stone that has taken up residence in my head ever since; new earrings, here, here, here [already sold!], and here [these are my personal favorites]; a new pendant up here now [it's amazing]; a new ring here; the three items in the new Northern Lights gemstone bead trio here, here, and here [some stones glow in new colors under UV light!]; and hopefully soon, a new millwork cuff with an extraordinary [and OLD] sugilite-mix cab. And as always, all the regular links are listed below, with sales, as always, being the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (I've added a few items that we're running out of, long-lasting hand-soaps that don't make my skin bleed, KN95 masks, and Wings's protein powders. Apparently the FlexTape is the priority now, so I'm told; otherwise, Amazon cards are most important now, because they go to buy things we can't get locally; and also the filters for the air purifiers, because we have only one left and the amount of dust and dirt they take in in these winds is indescribable); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim 2023, and with this year starting off MUCH worse (and given that we're already approaching the half-way mark), we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
