Peace ain't it.

It looks like a face-off, but it's not. "Hawk and dove" was always a stupid formulation anyway; has anyone ever seen how a dove actually behaves? They're vicious. Skittish, but vicious. Peace ain't it.

And ain't that a metaphor for life around here lately.

They keep changing the forecast WRT when the rain is supposed to arrive (real rain, that is, not a few sprinkles in passing). Whatever, it's apparently coming, if my joints are to be believed (and they're consistently far more accurate predictors than the meteorologists, so . . .). I'd like to have the pain step off a little (which will happen after the rain starts), and I'd also like to be able to breathe. I'd like not to have to worry about what else might be going on, but that's not an option, so on that score, we wait. Again.

In the meantime, we need to make some sales. No idea what the testing to come is going to look like, cost-wise, nor when it'll have to resume, and meanwhile, there are regular bills to pay. So please share the site links, and be on the lookout for new work soon. Wings has some plain bead necklaces coming, although given that we're without River again for the moment (still moving out, apparently; long story, apparently), it may not be today. Either way, when they drop, please share those links, too. And if you'd like to help out in the meantime, our Amazon wishlist is here; I'll be adding some kitchen-y things to it in the days to come, items that are not sufficiently urgent for me to be able to rationalize spending money on it right now, but that would make life easier for any number of reasons. And as much as I have to conserve every drop of energy right now, anything that makes life easier gives me more time to work.
