Dawn turns everything into magic.

Apparently I jinxed myself yesterday by asking for a couple of days to get stuff done without having to go anywhere or deal with anybody. I didn't have to do either of those two things, but I was up working until 12:30 AM. Went to bed, finally fell asleep, and within 20 minutes, Sunny was upstairs demanding to go out.

And once I was awake? The pain was so damn bad, and it's everywhere, that there was no possibility of sleep, but I was stupid enough to try.

I finally got up while it was still full dark and went back to work. I feel like the spirits gave me that up there as compensation, because dawn turns everything into magic.  But by now, I'm really feeling the exhaustion, and I've still got hours of work ahead of me. I just hope I'm allowed to sleep tonight. [With autoimmune diseases that involve severe chronic pain, lack of sleep is very literally the worst thing for us; it makes everything SO much worse.]

So now, I'm hoping for tomorrow to get done a lot of the things I had planned for today but can't because the pain and fatigue are all-consuming. There are just too damn many demands on us lately that have nothing whatsoever to do with our own work, and that's got to change.

And it's been ridiculously expensive week [month, year], too. If we can just continue to make regular weekly sales, we'll be fine. But we need to make those sales now; I posted seven new works by Wings this morning over on our site [and an 8th a few days ago]. There's a lot of gorgeous new work up, and that includes several pairs of brand new earrings are a more modest price point than most of this work. 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.
