That's all we got.

Impressive-looking storm, right? Five minutes of a rain shower; that's it, that's all we got.

And that is pretty much all I've got for the day. My entire day's work was hijacked right off the bat, one problem after another, and I'm only now beginning to get a few small things done. I'm so sick of having to drop everything I need to do at less than a moment's notice for everything else.

I'm even more tired of the fact that so much could be avoided if people listened to me, instead of asking me to do something, paying absolutely zero attention to what I actually do because I was asked repeatedly even though I also explained repeatedly what they needed to know, deciding they know better and of course royally fucking shit up, then expecting me to fix it.

Yeah, I'm not in the best of moods. This summer has been a nightmare across the board, I'm dealing with this stupid new miserable treatment protocol, and I still have to come up with a way to pay for everything else we're facing, from medical bills to regular monthly expenses to quarterly tax prepayments (and I've missed the first two quarters already, obvs) to Wings's dental. I need to boost my Patreon subscriptions back up, too, but I can't even commit anymore to daily posting there, because my health is suffering. Oh, I'll post tonight, at least something, but beyond that? It might be twice a week for a while; I just don't know. On top of all that, I'm hobbling from two days last week, plus Sunday and yesterday, having to walk too much on too-hard surfaces for too long, plus being exposed to people who refuse to mask and distance breathing all over me each time. The wheelchair issue has to wait because I have all this other stuff that needs to be covered, and I just can't do this.

And above all else, I have to bring in sales; that's non-negotiable. But nobody's buying.

The other day I posted Wings's newest two works, here, both at lower price points than is usual for him. I also posted his newest gemstone-bead trio a week ago, here. Sales have been terribly slow all year, and . . . the possibility of $25K. I don't have any way to solve that outside of making sales, so I'm begging folks, pleaseAll the links are listed below, so please share:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here (current priority still the Zero-Odor sprays, because these days we're back to wet dogs again; and the liquid soaps, which we can't get locally); 
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, and things are grim here, so please share all of the links.
