Avalanche and aftermath. Keeping Raven comfortable; no fix for broken hearts.

Lots of storm clouds, but only a couple of inches of snow. The weather can't make up its mind. Deadly (literally) avalanche on the mountain yesterday, five days into the opening of the schmancy, highly-publicized lift that should never have been built. There was a reason why Ernie never put one on it. At any rate, what's come out just up to this morning is god-awful, and there will be repercussions for the French hedge-fund billionaire, although I have no doubt he will buy his way out of anything too drastic.

Raven is still with us, but very tired. I am, too, for very different reasons; the pain hit like a sledgehammer last night, and hasn't receded a whole lot since. Still no word on the imaging, as I expected. But as I've said, regardless of the results, there will be much more medical stuff after this, although we don't know the form and shape it will take yet. Hopefully, something fixable, and relatively easily so. Meanwhile, all this stuff is piling up fast, so here are the links for sharing (or using, if anyone's so inclined):

• My Patreon, The Interstices (Writing Between Worlds) (and if you subscribe today you won't be billed until January 1st for December);
• Wings's site, for sales, with lots of new items posted;
• Wings's direct PayPal link;
• A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to all of our medical bills, which continue to mount);
• Amazon wishlist, which mostly consists of animal and household stuff;
• 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).

As I also said, Coyote is in the spirit world now, with a hole in my heart is never going away, and I'd really like not to have it grow by Raven size right now. Good vibes for Raven would be especially welcome today. We know it's unlikely that he has long. We just want him to be comfortable and happy for what he has left. There's nothing to be done for broken hearts.
