So, I'm making arrangements to get a WinXP repair disk and a new memory stick for the desktop sent to me. Hopefully those will fix whatever's ailing my machine's memory.
If not, though, a new machine will be a high priority indeed for me- and I'm running short on cash, since AWA was a dud and I only have two, maybe three conventions left to sell at this year- all questionable.
That's not my only upcoming expense, though.
* I go to the dentist next week. My one remaining sound wisdom tooth isn't, anymore- it's got a big chunk out of it, and it needs to go SOON. There's also a visible chip on one of the molars in the same neighborhood, and that needs to be saved if at all possible. I have a special medical credit card that should help with that, but it'll have to be paid off eventually...
* I'm expecting the property tax bill for WLP's inventory any time now. It'll be more than $400. (The house isn't in my name, so I don't have to worry about that... but the land tax is equal to the inventory tax...)
* Car insurance bill comes due in late November/early December- another $200.
* Christmas shopping- I haven't bought present one thus far this year.
* Nailing down show dates for 2012. I need to be doing this NOW.
* And, finally, I need to be paying down the business credit to float a couple of graphic novels in the spring of 2012.
So yeah, a lot of money needs to go outbound, and not much is coming inbound just now.
I'm taking steps to correct this. I'm listing designs for pre-orders on WLPShirts.com:





I may add a couple other designs that await the press to the above list in the next few days.
I've also begun work on the next chapter of Sorority Mu Beta Epsilon (WARNING: LINK NSFW!!!), "Catch a Falling Star." Feel free to donate to that project to encourage me to write. (And, if you share the WLP house kink, enjoy the stories.)
Or, you could just hand money to WLP (and thus to me) for no apparent reason. It can be done, in increments of $5, $10, $20, and $50.
And, if I come up with anything else I can offer for money (legally) that I'm not already doing, I'll let y'all know...
