Bare tundra.

Look at all that bare tundra.  In early February. Meanwhile, our esteemed governor has courted a DARPA-contracted corporation to build a fucking quantum computing center in ABQ [and they're doing it] in a state without enough water for the most minimal basics. The pols are going to be the death of us all.

God, I'm tired. I have felt so unremittingly awful for so long [months, now] that as soon as I have a couple of days where I feel slightly more human, I have no choice but to overdo it, and now I'm completely wiped out again. I'm so sick of this. Of everything, including this stupid genocidal society that wants us all dead.

And there's not going to be any break in the workload for me. We are nowhere near where we thought we would be now, or where we need to be, and I have to change that, because we have huge expenses coming up over the next two months, and right now? Absolutely no way to cover any of it. So I'll be over here killing myself with the workload, with everyone else piling on, and I'm getting to the point where some people are very soon going to be dealing wth another side of me. I don't work for you, I don't answer to you, and if you want anything from me at all, you best learn very fast not to jerk me around, because it won't end well for one of us, and that one will be you, guaranteed. I am kind, I am actually quite nice most of the time, but don't ever mistake that for me being your fucking doormat.

I'm already under unspeakable pressure this year, never mind the need to make up for the last two terrible ones. Our floor for sales and breaking even is making a minimum of one sale per week for the year, and we're still two weeks in the hole now. I don't have enough hours in the day as it is, and I can't afford what's been happening to me. Regardless of side effects or disease progression, I've got to do something to bring in sales. We need to bring in a lot more, because it's grim. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [priorities are the LaminaSaver, because apparently Miika's out of it again; and the rugs, to replace those destroyed 2 years ago by the leachfield collapse and ensuing septic disaster];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need to begin this year on a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been impossibly grim.
