Halloween may be tonight only, but Goth is year-round.

He'd intended to have these done in time to be available for Halloween wear, but no. This whole month has been a nightmare and a half on its own, in a horror show of a year, so . . . ::shrug::. Both of us can only do what we can do, and we're behind on lots of things.

Doesn't really matter, though. Halloween may be tonight only, but Goth is year-round. And that's who these are for, folks like me who live in black.  On the left, high grade Tibetan spiderweb turquoise, big cabs, but the black webbing of the matrix is so fantastic that they look Goth-y, too. the other two are Picasso jasper, the real, high-grade stuff, not the pale spiderweb jasper that so many pretend is the real thing. I might have to swipe one of those pairs for myself, because they have that whole "haunted storm" thing going on there.

At least it's some distraction from what's been a brutal day. And it's not just because of our friend who's been hospitalized; I'm on no sleep, and my pain levels are off the charts. I finally fell asleep a little before 6:30 this morning . . . and of course woke up ten minute later. I'm wiped. Feet and hands, mostly unuseable. Pain untouchable. I don't know what to do at this point.

And it all just makes me slower, and keeps putting me further and further behind every day. Clearly the rest of the year is going to be very hard. And I've still got to bring in a lot more sales through the end of the year. It's been hellishly expensive already, and we've also got some other big-ticket things to take care of between now and then, and that only happens if we make some sales now. And we can still use help with shares, testimonials, wishlist stuff, etc. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [Too many obligations, too many folks in need; I can't justify spending money on them right now, but I'd really love to be able to get the rest of the towels and liquid soaps];
• 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.
