To-do-list overload.

Beautiful morning. Those clouds rose, coalesced, turned blue-black, lowered again, and now have vanished. Supposedly we'll get real rain after 3 PM, but right now, everything that was building seems to have blown apart.

We did get a beautiful rain last night, though, an initially ferocious storm that then subsided and stalled overhead, bringing us intermittent soft showers well into the early hours of this morning. The land can breathe again, and that's always a good thing.

Now, if only I could do the same. Almost no sleep again, and when I did wake up this morning, my eyes were puffy and I'm sniffling and sneezing and coughing. It's the late-summer weeds flowering early, and so that means today is a steroid day. It also means the usual steroid headache, but then, my allergies have given me a constant, unrelenting headache the last three days anyway, so I might as well at least not be sneezing all the time.

Our nephew is here helping out today, which is also good. He's supposed to come back on Monday to help with more of the stuff that I can't do anymore. Meanwhile, I'm in my usual state of to-do-list overload, with no end in sight.

The biggest obstacle is this well problem. Wings finally spoke with the driller last Friday morning, and he says he should be out sometime this week, so I hope that proves true. But it's Wednesday, and yes, I'm counting, and no, we haven 't heard a thing. Just pray that the pressure pump holds out in the meantime. It's looking, feeling, and sounding worse by the day now.

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, but the problems we've had to deal with all year and the pace we've had to maintain are putting us both constantly behind. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (current priorities are, first and foremost, the sly spray for Miika at the top, and secondarily 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.
