Apparently the bar is underground now.

That was this evening. Because of course, I can't get even a single uninterrupted half-hour to do my own work at a reasonable time.

It's pretty, though. But still way too warm, and no chance of any snow in the next fifteen days. [No chance of rain, either, but this time of year, it should be snow.] Winter's looking less likely all the time.

As far as metaphorical rain goes, it can't wait any longer, and yet here I am, doing everything but the things I need to be doing to keep us afloat. I need more hours in the day. A functioning country not run by monsters would help, but apparently the bar is underground now.

Like, in hell.

I clearly need to fix that, because all of this is destroying what little health I still have, but I can't do that until I fix the problem of no sales. I need to bring in a hell of lot more than we are now, and I can't do that without the time to, you know, do it.. And how I do any of that before January is beyond me, given what this season is like in terms of work, and also given how far behind we are thanks to this disastrous year. There is so much new work, and there will soon be a lot more that's newer still. Trouble is, after this god-awful year, we need to make a sale a day now, on average, and we're nowhere near that.

The last two years have all but killed us financially, and I need to get us caught up to make it through the end of the year. Among that new work is the pair of earrings I posted here the other day, which you can find here; the necklace I posted here yesterday has a whole new bail, and I'm planning to get it up on the site yet tonight. But whatever else, we [which means I] have got to change this trajectory, and fast. 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 [daily now, really] sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
