And it starts all over again.

Beautiful morning, but a hot one. We did get about five drops in the middle of the afternoon; that's it, although they've gone from no chance of rain to 41% this evening, then up to 71%, and now back down to 55%, so who knows.

Rough day. Part of it is the incessant pain and the other, newer symptoms. Part of it is the kind of beyond-bone-deep exhaustion that doesn't have a name. And part of it is that I just feel so fucking sad all the time, and I can't figure out why, and then I remember last week, and it all starts all over again. Last week's is not the only one on the horizon, either, so everything's in a kind of stasis of grief, anticipatory and otherwise.

And I still have to get all my work done, and I still have to make sales. I've actually got to bring in a lot more sales than I expected us to need at this particular moment. The last two weeks have set us back about four grand in repairs, fixes, insurance, medical, and a bunch of other stuff [July's always one of the worst months of the year in terms of expense, anyway], and I really need to make some of that up over the next few days. And we can still use help with shares, testimonials, wishlist stuff I can't get to yet, etc. To that end, links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here [the current remaining priorities are the LaminaSaver for Miika, and the Farnam fly spray, which is the very last item on the list as it displays here, despite being "highest" priority, so go figure];
  • 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, a year that, so far, has been very grim.
