In the works.

I did say there were four new coils in the works. They're still "in the works," because he only had time to turn the ends on the turquoise one before something else intervened, so the other three need to be trimmed and turned yet. I'll have photos of them individually sometime tomorrow, no doubt. Lower left is high-grade natural turquoise, high-grade Labradorite, rutilated quartz, and sterling and fine silver; upper left, sterling and fine silver, tiger's eye, yellow opal, white onyx, rutilated quartz, and that one fabulous barrel at the center of orange and white dendritic Montana agate; upper right, aquamarine, strawberry quartz, rhodonite, fancy jasper, lepidolite, serpentine, and sterling and fine silver; and lower right is all Goth: black-in-white rutilated quartz, jet, a couple of drops of wine-red garnet, matte onyx, basaltic lava rock, golden abalone, shungite, and sterling and fine silver [I think I remembered everything in them; if not, it's close].

Anyway, need to sell them all. And a whole bunch of other work, too.

Yesterday was rough; last night, frankly awful. The dogs woke me up at five [courtesy of Stormy LEAPING onto the bed while we were sound asleep, and her forepaws, her toenails, and all her weight landing squarely on my thigh], so I've been up since then and working nonstop. I'm beat, but there's a lot more that I have to get done [including dinner and my workout], and I have to do it despite the accelerating pain these chaotic gale-force winds are causing me. There's been no let-up all day, and therefore no let-up in my pain levels, either.

All of which tends to make me really grumpy. Add a prednisone headache to that and the knowledge that tomorrow is chemo day again, and yeah, I've had better weeks.

Of course, as I said, by this point every year, I'm always so far behind on everything. And now I have to figure out how to prepay our taxes for next year, because this is two years in a row with this nonsense and I can't do this again. For two years, I've been very literally killing myself trying to cover everything, and it is what it is, and I'm too tired to give a shit anymore. My illness is progressing, and the world is on fire, and right now, I'm tapped out on every level. But the world doesn't give a shit, and what I said about it killing me? I wasn't joking. so we need to bring in more sales, a lot of them, immediately. There's too much that still has to be covered, well pump, new tires on the truck, medical stuff, and we're out of time.

Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Priorities are Amazon gift cards, which we can ALWAY use, and those adjustable Black KN95 masks are badly needed, because I gave away all the rest of ours to relatives; it would good to have several boxes, so I can keep handing them out, too); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and this one beginning at least as badly, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing because taxes to this Nazi administration will take every last cent and we'll still owe them more anyway, so please share all of the links.
