This morning's clouds. They were absolutely otherworldly; it was like a cross between waking up in the Andes and waking up in Arthurian myth.
Small compensations on what has otherwise been a very fraught day for us both.
Today was another of Wings's dental follow-ups; no charge for this one, thank all that's holy, but plenty of cost to him in terms of pain and discomfort and inconvenience leading up to it. Hopefully the changes today will fix a good share of that, but he has to have everything re-checked next week. Being diabetic complicates so much in dental work.
We've also, despite all the pretty clouds, had precious little in the way of rain today; only a few scattered drops a few moments at a time. Lots of gale-force winds, though, so it's a continuation of the rest of the week, and that means that our pain levels are a continuation of same. Mine in particular are especially intractable now; there is not a single part of my body that is not in agony, and nothing helps. Add to that all the stresses on me right now across the board, and I just want this week to be done.
Because we still have to pay for major medical other expenses later this month [and throughout, "we" means that I am the one who has to figure out how everything gets covered]; there's Wings's ongoing dental; we have some bureaucratic nonsense to take care of; and somehow, and I have GOT to bring in something for taxes. And the other demands on me are just as relentless [the ones that don't, directly, anyway, have to do explicitly with money]; there is no help for any of it, and I am at my wits' end over the latter ones especially. Combined with my illness progressing? I need help.

- Testimonials here;
- Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are most important now, because they go to buy things we can't get locally, like the protein mixes for Wings and GF stuff for me and all the cleaning and other household products that people in cities can get but we can't; and also the filters for the air purifiers, because we have only one left and the amount of dust and dirt they take in in these winds is indescribable);
- Patreon here;
- Ko-fi here.
After such a grim 2023, and with this year starting off MUCH worse (and given that we're already approaching the half-way mark), we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
