Wind and wildfire season, here early.

Look at that nonsense. It looks like cloud cover, right? Like snow, moving our way. Maybe mist? fog? maybe even smoke?

Nope. It's dust. Dirt. Driven in on gale-force winds, left to hang in the air as though it were an actual a pall of smoke. No wonder we can't breathe. I wore a mask when I went outside today, because who needs this crap in their sinuses and lungs, especially when I have enough trouble with both already thanks to the lupus. I also went outside as seldom as possible, because see above.

The cloud cover is clearing now, near the end of the day, which is incredibly irritating because the dust is not. I love the clouds; they can hang around all they like. Maybe even drop some snow. But this? This is some bullshit. It also means that it's wind and wildfire season, here early.

We're supposed to have very cold temps tonight, the be back up around 80 by mid-week. I don't imagine the wind is going anywhere; we're likely stuck with that until summer now. And this week has me slammed on so many fronts I can't even think straight. And still, I have to find time to chase sales, because if I don't bring those in, nothing else gets done, either.

And if I could just make several sales [because we're about six weeks behind where we need to be on the year, already], I'd feel a hell of a lot better about everything.I have another cuff to post, hopefully tonight, and the new heart necklace, as well. Both are set with turquoise, both fabulous.  And I've begun reorganizing the site galleries so that the newer work appears first, but it's slow going, mostly because I can't get any uninterrupted time to concentrate on it The last five months 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 [priorities are the LaminaSaver, because 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 get this year onto a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been pretty grim.
