No rain yet.

Beautiful skies today. No rain yet, but that's supposed to arrive this evening.

I just hope I can make the other kind of arrive simultaneously.

So here's where we are. A sale two nights ago made it possible to get our labwork done, for both of us. Mine was double the cost of his, natch, but then, it's a lot more individual tests. We have more medical expenses coming up next week, and then I've got to try to schedule my imaging/scans for sometime next month. They're going to run us into four figures, cash.

On top of the medical stuff, we still have to pay off our fucking TAXES, for chrissake, and they're hounding me now; I need to send payment in full before the 24th to avoid more penalties and interest, and I can't, because there's no money. Wings did pick up a cheap microwave so that at least I can heat Cricket's frisbees at night. But I can't pay for anything else unless I bring in some sales. And yes, that includes my other medical tests. We're so far behind on this year it's terrifying.

Yeah, I keep saying that we've GOT to make sales now.  Desperately.  I need help; I can't do this alone.

Nothing I have done for the last year has worked. Our sales have tanked, while prices keep going up, and so do our bills, and everybody wants something from me. I don't have anything left. I've put up a bunch of new work lately, including a new pair of extraordinary Skystone earrings the other night, plus something around a dozen other new pairs in the gallery now. There's more to come, including possibly a new cuff soon [he's not satisfied with it currently] and several additional new pairs of simple bezel-set gemstone earrings, plus some small sterling silver hoops and two new slender silver cuffs, all four of which I hope to have posted on the site later today [yes, I keep saying that, but I've had no time and even less bandwidth; today's chemo day, though, so maybe I'll have more energy]. But it's hard to work the pain and fatigue, never mind through the depression that accompanies them and this level of external stress. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Amazon cards are probably most useful at this point); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year, this one already even worse than the last, we really need to get 2024 onto a better footing, so please share all of the links.
