Get your dibs in now.

Remember how I said I thought Wings might be persuaded to create more of those hoop earrings? Welp. The next two pairs are already in progress. These are for inventory, so get your dibs in now.

For today, he's working on a commissioned piece, and trying to get some land-related work done. The rain has been wonderful (and we did get a little more last night, via a short fierce storm from the east that made a U-turn and came back from the rest for another go), but that's only the beginning. there's all the other work that has to happen along with it.

And that list just keeps growing, while the available time in which to do everything just seems to get shorter and shorter. Oh, and apparently our recent brown- and black-outs and Internet outages have disrupted my e-mail; messages are not coming through in order thereafter, and I have no idea how far back this goes or how many I've missed (or that haven't come in at all). If you e-mailed me and didn't hear back, try again. 

I am beat. My symptoms are aggravated by the weather, but they're also just . . . worse right now, entirely apart from that. The contracture in my left hamstring has been improving, as has the crippling effects of the plantar's fasciitis in that ankle and heel . . . and then two nights ago, the hamstring in my right leg contracted. This is not a cramp or a muscle spasm; this a wholly different animal, and if I don't work very hard on getting them worked back out right away, they risk becoming permanent, and that's a very bad thing. So walking is extra-painful again, and there's a lot of stress that comes with these developments. It was exacerbated by the fact that I had to skip my lupus meds for two days in order to accompany Wings to the dentist safely yesterday. So a lot more added pain because of that, too, even though I was able to take them again this morning. In the news, everything is terrible, far worse for Native people this morning than for anyone else, and too many people need help. And nothing changes; we need to make sales consistently, always. Wings' newest cuff posted Sunday night and it's incredible, and you should click through to see it from all angles, here. The new ring went up Monday night; you can see it here (and it is, apparently, still available). And, of course, the two new pairs of hoop earrings will be available soon.

Meanwhile, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder, the Thermacell lanterns [the flies are already out, so the mosquitoes won't be far behind], and the Gorilla tape);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
