Now we see how summer's going to go.

Hot, clear, dry, windy. And utterly terrible.

Welp, I guess at least now we see how summer's going to go.

The short answer is "badly." Our well pump failed this morning. Completely. Boom, dead stop. It's going to be, at the absolute barest minimum, at least $3,500, cash on the barrelhead, to fix it. I fully expect it to exceed $5 grand before they're done. If/when they're done, because right now? We have no water, and I have no idea when we'll be ble to get it back. It's Saturday, natch; can't get hold of anyone. They'll want a big down payment for parts and so forth, and full payment as soon as it's done. Do we have it? Are you kidding me?

Of course we don't have it.

So as of this moment, no water, no idea when we'll have water again? In the hottest part of the year? Everything is shit.

I'm tired, I'm discouraged, the pain doesn't let up and that makes everything else harder to do and deal with, and this fucking Nazi regime wants our next tax payment in two days, and we don't have that, either. I'm at the end of my fucking tether. I'm just fucking done.

All of this means, of course, that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need weekly sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered [and that will be a good long while]. I don't get any breaks from that, either. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, and after refiling her meds we just can't swing it:  3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
