*Bright* today.

It's bright today. Not so great when you've had zero sleep. My eyes are so puffy; big dark circles underneath them.

Yup. Zip; zero; nada; not a single second's worth of sleep. Three of the last four nights have just been an insomniac nightmare. Part of it's pain, sure, but most of it is just the way autoimmune disease rewires my brain so that it literally can't fall asleep.

And I am so, so tired.

No word on the tank. No word on Wings's helper, who was supposed to be here an hour ago. I hope none of this is an omen for the week, because the last several have been bad enough already; we don't need another one.

And all that expense to come, whenever it actually comes, means that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need sales, several grand's worth of sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered. Which means I have to get caught up on the work somehow. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (current priorities are the Soapbox soaps, which I can't get locally); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
