No clouds, but lots of haze.

Lots of green. No clouds, but lots of haze. Not quite as pretty as the last few days, but just as warm, at least.

In theory, we'll get rain again starting next weekend. But this week, I've got to figure out a way to make it rain in the sales sense, because this summer is starting off very expensively. We've gotten the latest of the medical stuff out of the way, although it's set us back several hundred dollars in cash . . . and set us up for several hundred more dollars in costs four weeks from now, and potentially several thousand thereafter.

But we have to do it. With our health issues, there isn't a choice. His, fortunately, are mostly maintenance at this point; mine are the ones that are threatening to bankrupt us. Again.

So. On top of the taxes, the chimney cleaning, the change in our Web hosting that I need to get set this weekend to change in the coming week, the need to replace my dying laptop, and all the other nonsense? Four figures' worth of medical bills coming up fast. The haze of the stress of all this is what's killing me now. I refuse to entertain the notion of the new pain and other symptoms being anything other than autoimmune complications.

Until I have to, anyway.

But we've GOT to make sales now.  Desperately.  I need help; I can't do this alone.

I've put up a bunch of new work lately; there's more to come, including a new cuff probably later today, and several new pairs of simple bezel-set gemstone earrings possibly as early as today, but more likely over the next few days. And as always, all the regular links are listed below. I've added some new items to the wish list; we're almost out of masks, and we both have to wear them in every interaction with anyone else [I have no immune system anymore, remember]; I've also found a hand soap that doesn't make my hands bleed, and while it's pricey, one bottle each in bathroom and kitchen lasts over a month apiece, even with how frequently we have to wash our hands given the work we do around here. But as always, sales are by far the most important:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (apparently the FlexTape is also the priority now, so I'm told; otherwise, Amazon cards and the filters for the air purifiers); 
• 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.
