Not a cloud in the sky, all day long. Not one. A hell of a lot smoke early to mid-afternoon, the kind that is so choking that you have to wear a mask. But no clouds. [No, no kings, either.]
Fortunately, the wind shifted again, and the smoke is gone now. The air is perfectly clear, and sunset's an hour away. I hope that stupid burn ends soon, because I don't need the sinus issues, the cough, or [especially] the added headache.
We didn't go to the protest, obviously; I can't stand for that kind of time, don't have a wheelchair, and neither of us can afford to catch anything, with COVID everywhere and no one masking. But there's always work to be done, and we've been doing it approximately forever, so that doesn't change just because we can't be out at the fun stuff. And a lot of what we do isn't remotely fun, but it needs doing, and if we're placed to do it, welp . . . .
Now, if I could just boost our sales through the end of the year in a way that covers everything. That's even harder. The last two years have all but killed us financially, and I need to get us caught up to make it through the next several months. There's a lot of gorgeous new work up, but I've got to sell it for it to make any difference. I posted four new ones the other night, around midnight: those two pairs of earrings, both Goth-y and perfect for Spooky Season, here [this pair now sold!] and here; and two new necklaces, very different but also seasonally apt, here and here. And there's a lot more to come, once these two sets of commissions are done and with their people. But in the meantime, we [which means I] have got to change this trajectory, and fast.
