There is no normal now.

Monsoonal patterns in morning skies is definitely not the norm for March. Of course, it's not the norm for summer, either, if we're talking about morning; those cloud formations begin to build around midday.  But we don't usually get them until June.

Of course, there is no normal now.

Not climatically or seasonally or meteorologically, not on any front. And there's not much I can do about any of it except to keep doing what I do, try to make the sales we ned so urgently, try to set aside as much as we can out of those to help other people who are worse off than we are, try to keep as many of us alive and well and safe as possible, even if what's possible isn't very much.

It doesn't help that my pain levels are increasing in an inverse proportion to my functionality, which seems to be deteriorating rather badly. It doesn't seem tied to the weather or overdoing it or anything else [although all those things apply, but I know what that feels like and this isn't that]. Which leads me to believe that this might just be the way it is from now on. That's hard to accept, but it's looking increasingly as though I have no choice.

The rest of this week will be divided between chasing sales and getting our taxes organized and to the preparer [which means I will have no time left for anything but those two items now]. And truthfully, I need to sell a lot more over the next few days to cover everything we're going to have to cover these next couple of weeks. I've resented taxes a lot in my life, but never so much as I do right this moment, but there's no choice in the matter. So now would be a really, really good time to buy, because I really, really need to bring in more income this week. We're out of time.

Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (Priorities are Amazon gift cards, which we can ALWAY use, and those adjustable Black KN95 masks are badly needed, because I gave away all the rest of ours to relatives; it would good to have several boxes, so I can keep handing them out, too); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and this one beginning at least as badly, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing before taxes take every last cent, so please share all of the links.
