No wonder I'm tired.

Beautiful day, but no chance of rain.

So much for the forecast, all the talking heads breathlessly declaring that this was "the beginning of the monsoon season" and it would start with flooding daily rains.

They really need to quit predicting anything, because they're always, always wrong.

No real sleep last night; too much pain, and I find myself incredibly stressed. No word yet on the well tank; no word yet, either, on the bureaucratic stuff that we were supposed to take care of this week. And no time for any of the things I need to be doing, because so much other crap keeps derailing it all. And the stress, the relentless, unremitting full-body pain, and the fatigue mean that I forget all sorts of things. Just like yesterday. No, I remembered Wings's birthday; that one's hard-wired. What I forgot is that it's also now the birthday of The NDN Silver Blog, which launched on July 1st, 2014 [the Web site, of course, is much older, dating back to 2007, but back then it didn't have the capacity for a blog]. I've been doing those posts every single day for eleven solid years, and haven't missed a single day. Good grief; no wonder I'm tired all the time.

Supposedly, though, we'll be able to get the new tank in next week [I hope; the new assembly already began burning out after something like three days, so the old tank must be completely shot, and I would really, really like to get that taken care of before we lose water again]. Of course, all that expense to come 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. Someone, please, tell me how I'm supposed to do all this. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, are 3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]); 
• 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.
