Snow in July.

Snow in July. Yup; that's from yesterday, and that's what those white patches and streaks in the Spoonbowl are — actual snow. Down here, of course, it still got up into the 90s, and the only precipitation we got was a quick shower or two, not much more than a few sprinkles. We're supposed to get a lot more today, but the warmup yesterday evening was enough to melt everything you see there, even then.

Relapse is still kicking me in the teeth, and several other places besides. I have another big medical bill to pay, plus two more coming up the second week of August, and in the meantime, I'm going to need to get a nebulizer, apparently. New potential treatment plan. And no rain of the kind that covers it, never mind snow. Gah.

And as I said yesterday, between now and the end of the month, my task list will balloon by the day, so this means expect to see me only if and when you see me, because it's going to take everything I have just to get through even the most crucial items on my various to-do lists. Above all else, I have to bring in a lot more scratch — a LOT more — to cover everything, so you know what comes next.

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.
