Something bright.

Present from my honey. Something bright in here to counteract the gray of the day.

To be clear, I don't mind gray days at all. But after sun this morning, the rest of the day's been pretty dark indoors, courtesy of the black stormclouds outside and the literal cloudburst we got this afternoon. No, I did not get a shot of the rain coming down in an absolute wall of water, but that's what we got.

There's more coming down over the north/northeast peaks right now, and we're supposed to get more tonight as well. Probably not the extreme weather we got this afternoon, but with the drought we've had, we'll take whatever we can get and be grateful for it.

Still behind on everything , hence the reason this is posting tonight instead of, you know, this morning, or at least early afternoon. Next week is clearly going to be a mess, too, in part because everything will be closed tomorrow. The stuff I thought we'd be doing the first of this week got bumped [not by us] to next week, and we're also hoping that the well tank is in and we can get it replaced next week, which is going to be a whole mess on its own, since they have to dig the old one out and then install the new one underground.

And I hope it's in by mid-week, at least; 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. 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.
