A bundle of allergies.

Yes, it's beautiful backlit by the rising sun, but it's a source of abject misery. It's also here two months early. I'm nothing but a walking — okay, hobbling, but whatever, a bundle of allergies now. It was so bad this morning that I had to dig out my Cromolyn eyedrops, because even the steroids and the chemo [yes, it's that day] wouldn't touch it. Which also meant I had to leave my lenses out for another hour or two, because that ish burns like a . . .well, you know.

At least now I can see again without trying to claw my eyes out.

Over the last little while, those thin white clouds have turned into something more. But it'll be like yesterday; nothing that holds any rain for us. Everything is so dry, and the fires not that far north of here are a star reminder of just how vulnerable we all are here now.

In the meantime, I've got to get our taxes done and wrapped up and to the accountant this week, without fail. Which means I'll have no time for anything else. I did manage to get those three new works up last night, here, here, and here. They're all phenomenal, and given how badly we need to make some sales right now, I hope they all find their homes before I even have a chance to feature them. Because the last five months, pushing six now, have been this way, nonstop, and I'm still not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [and to whomever sent a bunch of stuff off it that arrived today, THANK YOU; there were no purchaser inserts with the items, zip, zero, nada];
• 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 get this year onto a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been pretty grim.
