The work never ends.

Finally, some rain. No snow; not cold enough. But it should be snow on the peaks, and if this actually continues into evening, maybe the mercury will fall enough to turn it into a dusting.

Whatever; it's beautiful, and we're grateful for it.

Slow start today. We were up early; we're just both too exhausted to move very fast right now. This year has really done us some damage, and not just financially. A few more days of "holiday" season, and then it's back to the regular grind, but we're going to try to take it relatively easy until then [which means all our regular daily work, but not killing ourselves over all the other stuff]. The work, though? The work never ends.

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 in under four days {!] [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 get his two latest up. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't being pushing myself, either, given the precarious state of my health now, but it has to be done, because the last two years have all but killed us financially, and we're very literally 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 to end this year on at least a slightly better note.
