That up there was earlier today. It gave us a short but powerful storm, lots of wind, a 20-degree temperature inversion, and heavy drops. Nothing since, although in theory we'll get more tonight. Based on the looks of the sky right now, I'm guessing the most we'll actually get will be a repeat of last night's lightning show to the southeast.
There's a lot going on right now, lots of metaphorical heavy weather even in the absence of the real thing. I got done today what absolutely had to be done [except for all of this stuff, of course, which is all going to get done tonight]; that did not include calling to find out how much my cancer imaging will cost, because I simply didn't have time to spend endless hours on the phone trying to extract information from people who behave like human impacted wisdom teeth.
At least we have a little breathing room as of the weekend. Just being able to breathe for a few days is a big deal right now.
Even so, the expenses from last year and the first half of this year broke us so badly that we're way behind on every single thing now. Generating income is all that matters at this point, which means sales are all that matters. Wings decided he was unhappy with the new cuff, so that will have to wait until he's redone it to his satisfaction; by then, he'll probably have a few new pairs of simple bezel-set gemstone earrings, too. But apart from recent sales and so forth, we are still way, WAY behind on this year, and I will probably need to make sales at a rate of at least two per week for the rest of the year for us to catch up [and that's just breaking even]. So: Go buy! Please! 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.
