*Yet again.*

Lots of dark clouds on all sides; so far, not a single drop of rain. Suffocatingly hot today, though, and we could've really used it, but no.

This whole day has been a mess. No real sleep, courtesy of my illness and the dogs. Especially the dogs. And I got up to find that there was this utter bullshit going on with the group, someone bullying and shaming someone in need, and that will not play with me. Everybody got a collective warning. It's been almost eleven months since I launched it, and I've only had to remove one person for repeated rule violations, and that was early on, but I'm not sure why people have this idea that I don't mean what I say, or that they can flout the rules and nothing will happen, because . . . nope. The people who actually, truly, really know me will tell them that I'll put up with a ridiculous amount of bullshit when it's only aimed at me, but aim it at someone else, and that's it; they're done.

And then seven separate errands, lots of standing and walking, one that I couldn't fulfill because the relevant person apparently has every Friday off, and I'm both wiped out and now having to do all of my work at night.

Yet again.

And I'm done with that, too. Next week is going to have to look very different, because I am not doing this the rest of this fucking year.

Speaking of which, it's been a ridiculously expensive year [on top of last year], and depending on what comes out of my doctor's appointment at the end of the month, it might get a whole lot more expensive yet, which only adds to that pressure. 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 past week, but I've got to sell them for it to make any difference. 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.
