Wings's newest.

Wings's newest. It's a bolo; he still needs to add the cord and tips, but other than that, it's essentially done. That stone, believe it or not, is natural Kingman, pale sky blue with ultra-fine spiderwebbing in red and black and white.

He's finished up one commission, a belt buckle, and is nearly done with another, a multi-piece one. He's got a couple of pairs of earrings in the works, and a cuff, and I finally got those three new cuffs fully up today.

And today has been rough. I cannot get my pain levels or my fatigue under control. I didn't really sleep last night, but that's merely a aggravating factor; the fatigue was already there. And no, it doesn't matter that lack of sleep makes me exhausted; autoimmune disease disrupts the sleep part of your brain, and I may or may not sleep tonight.

If not, tomorrow will be a nightmare.

Meanwhile, all the work still has to get done: the housework, the paperwork, the sales work, everything. The one thing that came out of the tax nonsense is that I was not losing my mind; last year, we made barely more than 50% of the previous year's sales, which tells you how bad Trump is for business [and for everything else except inflicting harm]. The problem is that everything still has to get paid, and we paid in cash, in full, and now we've got recover a lot of that if we're going to make it through the year. And we've got to maintain it, because we've also got big costs [the side exterior door, for one] immediately ahead. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [and to whomever sent a bunch of items off it that have arrived recently, 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.
