New month, new year [for Wings, because today is his birthday].

When they come through, they come fast. I shot that photo, and within five minutes, it was pouring so hard, conditions so dangerous, I had to bring the dogs indoors. 

It's all gone now; sun's bright, air's humid. Supposedly a chance for more tonight, but if so, it's likely to be late.

Everything's late.

New month, new year [for Wings, because today is his birthday]. I have not been able to get him his gift, because we haven't had the money. Maybe by the time I do, they'll be on sale. He needs shirts [that fit]; he wears the hell out of his T-shirts with all the hard labor around here [and they're disintegrating with all the washing], and all the button-fronts around here are made with really big, tall guys in mind. I found a couple of places with shirts that cater to shorter guys, but . . . I'm sure I'll soon be getting breathless e-mails worthy of the Democratic Party, telling me my shopping cart's about to disappear. But it'll have to wait. All I can do is make him a nice dinner and whatever, but it really burns me that this year has been so terrible on every single front that it's come to this. 

On top of that, I've already missed the deadline with the IRS to avoid the next round of penalties and interest, but I have GOT to get this off my desk, and there's no way I can do that without really major sales coming in. And there's none of that, which means that I am buried under all of this for the foreseeable, so if it's not related to bringing in sales, I'm likely not doing it. [What I am doing is losing my fucking mind, so there's that.] I got the two new solid-silver cuffs up the other day, here and here, plus a new ingot pendant, here; last night, I got the two Art Deco cuffs posted, here and here, and they're fabulous. There are also a ton of new earrings posted in the Earrings Gallery, all from the last month or so. Generating income is all that matters at this point, which means sales are all that matters. Links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one already even worse than the last, we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
