So much for the hard freeze. Eighty here yesterday; seventy today. In recent days, we've had a new dandelion or two, in mid-November, for heaven's sake, and now one going to seed amid the fallen maple and aspen leaves. A bright yellow butterfly flew past us this afternoon, for crying out loud.
It's been a frickin' Monday, too. There are days when I just want to chuck it all in [okay, weeks], and this has been one of them. I spend more than enough hours on mutual-aid work without having to referee stupid childish shit, and I don't respond well when people try to get cute about the rules. There aren't enough hours in the day, and I'm in too much constant pain and working too damn many hours to put up with that crap. I expect adults to behave like adults.
The pain isn't improving. Nothing is. The pain is worse, the fatigue is worse, my balance is worse, everything's worse. Nothing helps. 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.
