That was yesterday, after the wind kicked up cold and hard. These days, we're feeling a lot like the dormant flowers there, caught in the vortex.
Im about to lose my mind over this day and the non-stop interruptions and derailments.. I cannot get anything done, because no one respects my time or my work enough to let me do it. So I am even further behind than I started out today, and that was already bad enough. If we're lucky, we might be able to do more weatherizing tomorrow, but given that it was eight degrees this morning, I'm not hopeful.
Also, there's the constant financial threat looming over our heads. I said that we needed to pay ~$725 this week, which remains true, but I need to bring in at least $1,000 total this week just to cover [barring any new disasters] those bills and the rest of the month. Between a partial sale and a little help from a friend, we're just over halfway there. That means that I can pay one of the bills tomorrow, if everything clears, and pick up my scrip. But there's the rest . . . .
We have got to make sales. Normally, Wings would already be in the middle of multiple commissions in the works by now, but nothing's normal anymore. I don't know what to do at this point; I can't conjure money from thin cold air. I posted two new pieces a few nights ago (links here) and another the night after that (links here). The new bracelet in the works is turning out not to be a bracelet at all; I'll explain when it drops, which might be this weekend. He has a number of other things in process, too; I'll post them as he completes them.
At any rate, my stress levels are off the charts along with my pain levels now. For those wondering about my own health issues, see here, although now there's a new wrinkle I'm not even going to bother to try to explain (suffice to say there's no affording treatment); with regard to the work being done, some of the details are here. Thanks to my Patreon subscribers (not sure who?) who updated their cards; I'm now down only between $25 and $50 for October. Still, I'm going to need help to get all this, the plumbing and everything else, done and handled, and I can't do it alone. Folks can help in several ways, and we really need it now:
Please share everything, because I'm suddenly back behind the eight-ball on a whole additional front, and yeah, I'm scared about covering everything and surviving, too. Thanks.
