If only.

That was this morning. Now, the sky's mostly gray; precious little blue, but the clouds are thin and high. [If only I were thin and high, but no.] In theory, tomorrow night they'll bring a dusting of snow, but as always, we'll believe it when it actually happens.

Still no correct scrips. Not only that, but today has shown us the sheer incompetence and depravity of certain so-called "medical professionals," and I am beside myself with fury. [Not my doc; this is something else, and it's something that goes back a full seven years.] On top of that, we had to pay for the ten-day septic pumping again this morning, and today the excavator guy is coming out to scope it [no excavation involved right now; they feed a camera through the tank and into the leach drain] to see whether it's a blockage that can be fixed or we need to dig a new leachfield [because they dug they first one incorrectly]. If it's the latter? We can't afford it. I've got to worry about taxes first.

Meanwhile, I'm still in agony from all the standing/walking two days ago. I need that damn wheelchair, but that's not happening, because taxes first, leachfield second, and laptop third, and only then can I worry about myself. Yes, laptop before chair, because if I can't do my work, we don't bring in sales or other income, and then we won't be able to afford anything at all, never mind the stupid chair.

I do not know how I navigate this. Sales are the only thing [well, and Patreon subscriptions, but those are down over $700 a month from a year ago, so sales are more likely at this point]. But to do it, I need help. As I said, Wings has a great deal of new work on the site: the newest three listed above, plus other necklaces, Warrior Woman pins, Pueblo pins, lots of new earrings. There are two new pairs of absolutely ethereal earrings from last week, and an extraordinary new necklace in the form of a spirit messenger. Go look; there's phenomenal work on there, new and less so. An as always, all the regular links are listed below, with sales, as always, being the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (thank you beyond words to the folks who took things off our wishlist last night; we'll always need the liquid soaps and the descalers that I can't get here, the dog treats for the monsters, and Amazon and Lowe's cards [the Lowe's cards are probably going to have to go on a new fridge, so I'm hoarding them] and the newest thing at the top, a harness that will let me haul my camera around [which I have to do for our work] without further damaging my neck, now that the pain has become intolerable); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim 2023, we really need to get this year moving onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
