What's needed now.

This morning, just outside the upstairs door, looking east/southeast. It's only four or five inches on the railing, but that's due in large part to all the prior snow that was blown off as fast as it fell. We got about ten inches, all told, here at home [drifting means four in some spots, over a foot in others, but ten in the sheltered areas]. They only got about four inches at best in some parts of town; it looks like the rest of town got only a couple.

We had to go into town today for Wings's next in a series of dental appointments. It went well, and in three weeks, maybe he'll have things partially fixed, at least temporarily. Maybe not. It's a grueling process. But we left early, since we didn't know how the roads would be [clear]; arrived early, got in early, got out early, got a couple of other errands run, including overdue grocery shopping and his Rx drop-off, and when we got about a mile from home, we hit the next storm. We've had snow off and on all afternoon, with the potential for a little more overnight.

That's what's needed now.

The other thing that's needed now, irrespective of literal weather? SALES. We're going to have to pay our taxes, in full, next week [we could never get enough respite from all the demands on us last year to be able to prepay anything like we usually do, which makes for a nightmare now.] I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to cover everything; last week was exorbitantly expensive, mostly outlays for other folks [this year is much worse, so far, than even last year in that regard] plus one badly needed for Wings, and I have GOT to bring in more to cover the tax bill. If you're in the market for Wings's work? Now's a really, REALLY good time. I posted three new items last night, and one is featured today [along with another that's recent, if not quite as new]; you can see them all here. If I could sell all of them, that would probably be 75% of what I think we'll still need. 

So go look; there's lots of phenomenal work on the site, both new and less so. There will be another pair of all-silver earrings soon, and four apparently five? Warrior Woman pins posted, probably in the next day or two. And as always, all the regular links are listed below, with sales, as always, being the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here ( we'll always need the liquid soaps 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]); 
• 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.
