All about the exhaustion.

It looked like a dusting of snow this morning, but it was actually just our heaviest frost this year. A little new snow on the peaks, though, which is valuable, if nowhere near enough.  You shouldn't be able to see the earth through the snow up there.

Today was all about the exhaustion.

We run on adrenaline for three months straight, so the first day that doesn't involve that to as significant a degree? Yeah. I'm sicker than the proverbial dog besides, but it's nothing microbial, just the usual autoimmune crap when the flare is off the charts, which it is. And there work is still there, and we both had plenty of it to do today.

And there's still all the sales stress. We were blessed with a really good sale last week, so the pressure to cover immediate things would have been off in a few days when the payment cleared, were it not for the thieves that shoved our account into negatives. But even aside from that bullshit, there's still all the rest, all the stuff we couldn't cover all year because of one catastrophe after another, the taxes that still need to be prepaid, all the January bills that will be here before we know it [which include truck insurance and a whole bunch of business-related expenses that come due once a year, but total well into four figures]. So we still need to make the equivalent of a sale a day now, on average. And he has so much new work!  I'm hoping to pull another late night to get five of them up yet. yeah, I know, I shouldn't, but it has to be done, because the last two years have all but killed us financially, and we're almost out of year. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [somebody got the vacuum! which makes priorities now the thermos and the rugs];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly [daily now, really] sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
