No chance of rain, never mind snow.

One lonely little cloud today. It didn't last, either; that was just after noon, and it was gone in under half an hour.

No chance of rain, never mind snow.

It's also sixty degrees, but it feels much colder because of the wind, and, one, it should never be sixty degrees here in February, and two, we shouldn't have these stupid winds until April, but here we are. I doubt there's any topsoil left; these winds have stripped it all.

Considering we had six or seven errands yesterday, I'm doing a little better than I expected. Usually, that makes it impossible for me to do much of anything, but we were so busy and everything was running so late [pharmacy, I'm looking at you] that I didn't take my ADD meds until late afternoon, and I forgot my chemo entirely until . . . I don't know, 7:30 or something last night. Maybe that's why I'm doing better, with the chemo still thoroughly in my system. I was afraid I wouldn't sleep last, taking the other meds so late, but I was so wiped out that I fell asleep instantly. Whatever; after the insomnia and everything else being so bad this last week, I'll take it.

And all the usual issues continue apace. So does the work, our own and the vocational stuff that we have no choice but to do. And, of course, the world is still on fire, they're still coming for us all, and we still have to worry about our communities, about our relatives [both of whom are disproportionately affected by this illegal "funding suspension"], . . . and about us. Last year was indescribably bad on pretty much every single front, especially sales. This year, already a month into it, and it's not appreciably better. I have GOT to make some sales, since we've had only two so far in this new year, and we're already in the second month. It takes at least one sale a week [sometimes more] just for us to break even on the year, and last year? We didn't even do half that. We're going to have to replace the well pressure pump, without question. Taxes are coming. Now we have a potential security issue, and I think we're going to have to hire someone to install a camera system here [the distance is too great for the little cheap cameras; this will require something a lot more sophisticated (and a lot more costly, natch)]. My laptop apparently will have to wait yet another year [assuming I can keep this alive that long, which I can't assume for a moment, actually]. So now would still be a good time to buy. TONS of new and fabulous work on the site, and tons more on the way, too. But I've got to sell something, for the love of all that's holy. I can't live with this level of unrelenting stress on top of everything else.

After such a grim year, this one far worse than the last, we urgently need to begin 2025 on a better footing before taxes take every cent, so please share all of the links.
