In theory.

In theory, lenticular clouds herald a change in the weather — for worse, I mean, by most people's standards, but by ours, very much better. In other words, they're supposed to presage a coming storm. In theory.

I don't think these are going to do that.

The ret of this week is supposed to be increasingly hot and dry. and we have smoke haze everywhere, because there's a wildfire just northwest of here, by Jicarilla's western edge. And despite the rains of last week? Everything's already drying up again.

Still nothing on the well. Don't ask. It's been over six weeks this morning since he told us it would two, and nothing. I'm beyond pissed at this point, because this pump in on the verge of failing again, and this week is going to be miserable enough as it is.

And Wings as supposed to have some help today. They called just before they were supposed to be here to cancel, then called back saying they were coming, then never showed, and no, I don't want to hear any commentary about how he "should handle it." I'm just fed up on every front, and it's not helped by feeling so shitty that I can't function.

My symptoms are off the charts. Nothing helps. That includes steroids and pain meds. And I'm so fucking tired, and my brain is so fucking destroyed by it all, and I can't get anything done. And we've lost our doctors, we have no idea who's taking over the practice, and the one thing we do know is that our patient portal corporation has probably already handed all our personal date over to the fucking Nazis, in violation of HIPAA and the most basic medical ethics.

And make no mistake:  These people are Nazis. And Klan. And just plain evil, willfully, intentionally, deliberately so.

I need some sort of break from all the terrible, but it's not going to happen. I'd settle for them getting out here and fixing the fucking well, and Wing's help showing up. I can't even get that.

But 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.
