A very long day, and a lot more ahead of us. Shares very much needed.

No photos tonight. We've had no time today at all. The afternoon was spent in one very, very long appointment, and we're both wiped out at this point. It all starts up again tomorrow, too.

Cut and paste, for the most part. We need to be able to get down to Lowe's, but I don't think it's going to be possible, and I have to get the upstairs painting under way this week. I have a thousand other things to do, too, and no time. So we need shares. For anyone interested in the Amazon list, the Lowe's cards are, without question, the most helpful items on it right now. [I couldn't get it to let me leave the $ option open, so I put three separate denominations up, but any amount whatsoever is helpful.] But it all starts with shares, as always:

• Shares of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code, which has once again been moved back to the purple box at the lower right-hand side of the page, that produces the image shown just above.
• Shares of Wings's site; sales also fund the construction (indeed, they are the baseline for it). Testimonials help.
• I've added Lowe's gift cards to our Amazon wishlist. We're having to spring for lumber, lath, and plaster material locally. The rest of what makes it habitable — flooring, paint, appliances, etc. — are coming from Lowe's, which is giving us the best selection and price, and therefore best bang for our buck, but it's still a lot. A LOT. And so one of the best, most immediate ways to help at this point is with Lowe's gift cards. I have three separate denominations posted on the wishlist, but cards in any amount whatsoever are useful; they all go into the same pool.

Still, before you share our links, please go share Laura's. Lin's spirit is where the water meets the light, but Laura will still need our help for a while. Please T/R/share/donate to her fund if you can. Especially that last. It's needed.

A special thank you to our latest donor; I'm hoping to get time to sit and respond tomorrow. For now, the autoimmune crash is imminent, and I still have work to do yet tonight, so I need to get on it. In the meantime, please, just take a moment to share the links above.

Thanks, everyone.
