Reflection.

Some days, a reflection is more welcoming than this world.

Yesterday wound up being a horror show for me personally. No, I'm not going to elaborate. I will point out that, in a world that would rather see me dead, it's extraordinarily hard some days to keep going, and if I choose to bow out for a while until I can face the avalanche of utter crap again, I'm more than entitled to do that. So to the person who inflicted incalculable harm on me last night: You're a terrible human being who deserves to have terrible things happen to you, but I am not the one who would ever wish them on you. You've inflicted damage in ways that I can't even anticipate yet, but I suspect you knew that; I don't think it was done in good faith at all. 

I do my best each day to try to get us a little ahead of the curve, and I always wind up back at the bottom with the rock on top of me. Sometimes, certain individuals and entities come and add a little (a lot of) extra weight to it, and that's where we are now. So the rest is cut and paste, and don't expect to see much more than that out of me for a while. My medical issues have flattened me anyway, and since there's no survival without bringing in money, that's where what little energy I can force into my body and brain has to go.

Sales here; testimonials here; wishlist (such as it is still) here. Thanks to the two folks who sent in testimonials; once again, I'm going to try to get them up tonight, although it all depends on how the rest of the day goes. We need more folks to send them in, too. Wings dropped his new bead pieces (two necklaces; four pairs of earrings) a few days ago; you can find the summary post here. Please share their individual links, and be on the lookout for the other new works, especially the belt, which he hopes will be done finally this week. He also has two new cuffs (which, if all goes well, will drop later today or tonight, so please be on the lookout), two new necklaces, and a pair of earrings in the works. [Edit: Also, his new beads are waiting at the P.O. box here, as noted above, so he will no doubt have more in the new series of necklaces and earrings soon, four of the latter of which dropped the other day, here; these are from a U.K. lapidarist, and they are a phenomenal selection, so please share them, as well.] And while I spend every spare moment chasing those sales, there aren't many spare moments for me these days, especially with my ongoing breathing issues and whatever else is going on that they haven't identified yet. So please, help us get the word out. I've got to bring in more sales somehow.
