Yup, I'm leading with yesterday's new masterwork, because we have got to make some sales. The deliberate mismanagement of COVID-19 has meant that we have had to divert significant funds that were allocated on bills and other expenses to stocking up on supplies in case we have to stay put here for weeks (or months). It's sobering, after having lived through various other officially-classified "global pandemics," to realize that we are both in groups at special risk for this one. We've both been feeling crappy for a couple of weeks now, scratchy throats and mild coughs, and we attributed it to the exploding juniper pollen, but now . . . who knows? My chest hurts. But ever since my multiple near-misses with death in 2017, my chest hurts all the time, though, so ::shrug:: who knows? We have about four tasks still to do that require us to go out into the world; after that, I'm hoping we can stay right here all of next week and beyond, without having to go anywhere at all.
But the bills still have to get paid, so there's the constant need to bring in income. On top of the pressures that accompany Wings's dental work, it's going to be costly for other reasons. Between the tow and the garage bill, we had to shell out $700 cash that I had already allocated for other expenses. That's $700 on top of the regular bills for the month, most of which are due this week. Probably another $300 before we're done for today and tomorrow, for medical and prescription costs. There was another $350 today we weren't expecting (someone here who needed help badly), and some of that we will get back, either in repayment or in kind, but probably not for a long while, and it's still a HUGE hit out the door at once, in cash. So I have to make up well into four figures' worth fast, which means I've got to start bringing in some scratch from sales, subscriptions, everywhere and anywhere I can, especially since we don't have a fix on Wings's recovery time from all this slated for next week. We'll have a major new piece up tonight, so please share it, because we need help to make sales. The links are here:
Please share everything. Thanks.
