We also installed the upstairs screens on the windows. Lower ones today, if I can get to it. And yes, I did that except for the the two on the north side, which require ladder work. Wings is steady and not particularly bothered by heights; I fail on both fronts.
Of course, I'm failing on all fronts these days.
The pandemic is making sales impossible, and I have GOT to sell $3,300 worth this week. I've got to get first- and second-quarter taxes off my shoulders so I can turn my attention to figuring out this well problem. We're supposed to be getting monsoonal-pattern rains starting tomorrow, but we have no idea whether it'll materialize, and even if it does, whether it'll be anything like what our rainy season is supposed to be. If we can't bring the water down (and we likely can't), we're screwed for hay for the horses and crops for ourselves and the folks with whom we normally would share them. And this year of all year, we have to be able to get back to growing our own food.
I've got to make sales, I've got to bring in the scratch, and I can't do it without buyers. I can't create money out of nothing. I can squeeze that stone until the world ends, and the only blood I'll get out of it will be from the damage to my hands. We're looking at no return to anything like a normal rate of sales for at least a year, probably more, and I don't know what to do at this point.
So please. The links are here:
Note: At this point, it's getting to be impossible for us to get some of the things we need without using Amazon. We haven't done so yet, but I suspect we're going to be stuck very soon. If you can find any of the items on wishlist elsewhere, we'd prefer you purchase there instead of with Amazon (there's even a wishlist function where you can note that it's been purchased somewhere else), but I we realize that they've managed to make themselves essentially indispensable, especially for rural/rez folks like us who are isolated at the best of times. And these are most surely not the best of times.
Please share everything. Thanks.
