So much for all that snow.

So much for all that snow we were supposed to get. They said three inches overnight, another six during the day today.

Do you see any snow on the ground? Yeah, me, neither.

A little snow has managed to fall on the peaks and slopes, but not much even there. Lots of wind, though, which ust makes everything worse.

Bad night, no sleep, ill today, thanks to all the pain. It's chemo day, too, so I don't imagine that's exactly helping. I'm getting nothing accomplished, and getting nowhere fast on all the things I need to be doing. That will, of course, get a whole lot worse if that motherfucker strips us all of our basic meds. But Schumer's out there tweeting about Valentine's Day, while the DNC's official account is posting homophobic bigotry and thinking it's clever because the subjects are the world's two worst human beings [Trump and Musk]. No wonder that side loses. Not an ethical bone in their bodies.

Meanwhile, all the usual issues continue apace. So does the work, our own and the vocational stuff that we have no choice but to do. Our friends lost their grandson and nephew the other day; his widow had quit work to be his caregiver for the last . . . more than a year now, through everything. She's going to need help getting on her feet now, and you can do that here. And yes, I'm expressly asking you to go donate, and to share it with your networks. Just like I asked you to do for Elijah himself.

And, of course, the world is still on fire, they're still coming for us all, and we still have to worry about our communities, about our relatives [both of whom are disproportionately affected by this illegal "funding suspension"], . . . and about us. Last year was indescribably bad on pretty much every single front, especially sales. This year, already a month into it, and it's not appreciably better. I have GOT to make some sales, since we've had only two so far in this new year, and we're already in the second month. It takes at least one sale a week [sometimes more] just for us to break even on the year, and last year? We didn't even do half that. We're going to have to replace the well pressure pump, without question. Taxes are coming. My laptop apparently will have to wait yet another year [assuming I can keep this alive that long, which I can't assume for a moment, actually]. So now would still be a good time to buy. TONS of new and fabulous work on the site, and tons more on the way, too [the three hearts are delayed; we planned to pick up the beads yesterday, but since they've had a death in the family, it can wait for next week]. But I've got to sell something, for the love of all that's holy. I can't live with this level of constant fear on top of everything else.

After such a grim year, this one far worse than the last, we urgently need to begin 2025 on a better footing before taxes take every cent, so please share all of the links.
