Long day and balancing acts. Sales and shares still very badly needed.

My smaller girl today, showing me that I'm not the only trying to maintain a risky balancing act. She's a warrior, though.

Another very long day today. I spent most of it packing boxes and shipping items, so if you have something outstanding, it's on the way. The downside is my health has impaired my handwriting sufficiently that you may not be able to read my scrawl. Many, many thanks to everyone who bought items or kicked in otherwise yesterday, so we can take care of She-Wolf's vet appointment and my next follow-up. It's all still close to the bone, though; Pueblo closes in a few weeks (and will be closed for several weeks), and this year we don't have our usual safety net of holiday sales that gets us through these lean winter months (to say nothing of all the extra expenses we have thanks to my uncooperative medical issues and everyone's inability to figure out what's wrong).

So we still need all the shares and all the sales we can drum up right now, and will for quite a while. There'll be no new work on the house for some time yet, obviously. BTW, Wings has several new pairs of earrings in the works, plus some other new pieces in the early stages of design, so keep checking back. Here are the links; please continue to share them consistently: 

• Tonight's post elsewhere (a short reminder to warriors that it's wings up);
• A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to She-Wolf's meds);
• Wings's direct PayPal link;
• Wings's site, for sales;
• Wayfair gift cards, to replenish all the furnishings that the RV has destroyed in one way or another.
• Partial registry #1, from Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are new kitchen-y things on it now, stuff that I didn't realize we'd need to replace (either because the RV ruined it or because we gave it away when we had to downsize).
• Partial registry #2, from Wayfair.

I am no more functional than I was a few days ago — less, in fact, although we can't pin down why. I mean, we know it's all part of whatever happened to me in November; it's just that no one can figure out what that is, much less how to fix it. It makes me feel old and decrepit, especially given that I can't take 20 steps without getting short of breath, and I still can't lift or carry anything, which means I'm utterly useless around here. I'm using a cane routinely now when we run errands, and sometimes I just have to stop and sit, because I just can't stand upright another minute. It's profoundly maddening. Still, it's a gift to wake up each morning, even when the wind chills are teens or below; on mornings like this, you get glitter.  Thanks, everybody, from both of us, for everything.
