I'll believe it when I see it.

Tonight's sunset.  There's supposed to be rain, and then snow, but I'll believe it when I see it. Given how most of this week has gone, there's no reason to expect this to go any better.

It's the leachfield. The guy came out late yesterday; he's going to send us the estimate in a couple of days. We can't afford it. I've got to worry about taxes first.

Today was more agony from all the standing/walking. I went with Wings to the dentist [I'm his ears]; then I stood in line again for the better part of an hour to get my damn pain meds, finally, after a week of trying [and STILL not from the place I was supposed to get them]. 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. FB is hosed; I can't post anything without it telling me my "post is being processed and we'll let you know when it's ready for viewing." Since no one else seems to be having this problem, I can only conclude that they're actively suppressing any account that they think might be anti-genocide. It's not the first; Twitter is also effectively shadowbanning my tweets. And, of course, we've lost sales over it.

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.
