Wildfire sky.

None of the forecast rain today, just a wildfire sky.  That's what it looks like, and it's beautiful, but it's also deadly.

It's been all haze, all day long; our eyes are itching and burning and tearing, we're both congested, I've been coughing. I didn't sleep last night, partly because of this endless weeks-long headache that will not go away [a lot of that due to the toxic pall of smoke], and partly due to the equally unrelenting full-body pain that won't respond to anything. Today was chemo day, and instead of helping, it just made me feel worse, so . . . . The last two weeks have been two of my worst across the board, and I know nobody reads this and I know nobody gives a shit even if they do, but I need to get it out of my head because I just so fucking tired of it all.

And none of that matters, because I've got to bring in enough sales to cover all this repair work. I can't just make things happen by magic, despite how people treat what I do, and I really can't do it when I can hardly breathe because my pain levels are so high. But I've actually got to bring in a lot more sales than I expected us to need at this particular moment. 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.
