And then there are *days*.

There are days, and then there are days.

This has been the latter, from jump. 

My symptoms are progressing, apparently, and pretty badly. Today required me to be on my feet, walking a lot, and I did it all through a haze of pain, but I'm going to pay for it beyond just that now. And I can't get this other problem under control [because, if I'm right about what's causing it, there isn't any way to control it; all you can do is cut the source of it out, literally, and there's no way that can happen anytime soon, if at all]. So I feel like death pretty much all the time right now. And if you think that I look "normal," I can't tell you the amount of effort that takes. But it's not like anyone gives a shit anyway.

Today would have been my late sister's birthday. So there's the grief on top of everything, too, but it's a better marker than the one in October, the date of her murder, so there's that, I guess. But between that and the out-of-control physical pain [and other nonsense], today's not a day when I'm going to pretend to be sunny. The world's on fire and everything sucks.

And, of course, all the stuff I had to do today has made everything late, so I'm going to be at this half the night. Then again, when my pain is this bad, I can't sleep anyway, so whatever.

And I have got to get caught up. And if we can just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'll be fine. But we need to make those sales now. And to that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here; 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links.
