Friday - Day One and Bread

I'm making bread so that there's an oversupply and I will be free to nom on a household loaf whenever.

Alongside the PLNs to make bread, there's household unfuckening and the usual writing to do.

Over this week, I have been writing a guide to Whitekeep, the point of Origin for my Tiefling dude. Loads upon loads of worldbuilding into one solid document.

...which I believe may be finished, but I'm not certain. I need people to check it before I send it to my DM. And they really need to know I've been doing some worldbuilding while the game's been on hiatus.

In the news:

  • Muppet on the election: "Biden has to be cheating, because I cheated as hard as I could and I'm still losing." 9_9
  • Amazing how the Repugnicans want every vote counted when they're losing
  • Victoria easing restrictions again
  • TIL (1) Rhode Island is a state, (2) Its actual name is "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations", only, (3) Not any more, as the citizens have voted to remove the pointing finger at the history of slavery
  • Sydney bar worker stabbed for unreported reasons/excuses
  • One bloke defrauds the "Back to Work" grants and will be used as the "what if they're all doing it" example by the right wing 9_9
  • Adelaide man mistaken for a drug dealer was bashed and had his spouse threatened. I wonder if it would make the news if it was actually the drug dealer
  • China's sabre-rattling includes threatening to stop trade, ScoMo has an opinion
  • Kanye West, who went for the Presidency too late to be on the ticket, said "lol just kidding" and backed out, is now spitting the dummy about not winning? WAT
  • TikTok wants to adopt Barron Trump without any evidence to their claims about him
  • Idiots with guns threatened a vote counting center to the point where the reporter and crew there had to come up with an exit plan. No joke
  • Protestors everywhere fill the streets because close election. I predict riots
  • US gets one hundred thousand cases in one day
  • Teen marries 90YO dementia patient for the money she'll get by 30
  • One woman on this planet claims she likes being treated as an object. She will now be used as the "what if they all secretly..." example by incels everywhere. Thanks, Karen
  • If the Muppet wins, that could kill international travel. Well, dur. Of course. You can't ignore the plague away
  • Of course hotel quarantine doesn't have facilities for the neurodiverse or the disabled. The media's on the side of "the poor mother" without spending very much time on "the poor kid" 9_9
  • Tesla was apparently "a month away" from bankruptcy while making the Model 3
  • Thousands of anxious voters are liveblogging their watching of the US election results on Twitter
  • Mysterious signal detected in space is a star and not aliens. Boo
  • Banks cut interest on home loans in Aus
  • Billionaire deemed unsuitable for association with casino giants
  • Children's home arts and farts kits recalled because hazardous contents
  • Uncertainty in the stock market means bad things for wine?

I've had a good morning. I poured the exact amount of water needed for my bread today, and I got the bikkie done already [I'll cut it after I'm done blogging] and my only hope is that I can get my proofing basket liners CLEAN before I need them. Last wash left them with some... icky residue that I can only hope has soaked off.

Otherwise, I'll be using the ol' reliable non-fluffy tea towels for the proofing.

Here's hoping for better days.

Thursday - Day Zero - Even Mor Shenanigans

Two more cases. Overseas. Quarantine. Yet more for the One Arsehole Theory. I feel like yelling at visitors from overseas. You're infected. Rack off.

Ugh. I'm not normally this uncharitable. This is what the plague has done to me. I swear I'm not xenophobic, I just don't want an outbreak happening in my area.

The Muppet is continuing shenanigans by blocking the counting of early and postal votes before election night and then insisting that they're all tallied afterwards. Which he's going

Wednesday - Day Zero - Mor Shenanigans

THREE new cases from overseas and the odds of One Arsehole are increasing. It also means that there are more and more people with the plague attempting to reach areas without. That is, as I have previously stated, how you spread the plague.

One arsehole can shit on everything for everyone.

Election is happening in the USA and no matter who wins, the right wing will be firing upon the left wing. The only real difference is whether the ones with guns

Tuesday - Day One and Shenanigans

The coels were wurruping this morning, so it's for sure going to rain. My cyclone headache continues and we're out of ibuprofen. Gotta go and get some more in bulk from a convenient chemist somewhere in my shenanigans.

Because today, I am due to do the shrink visit again so that's my window of opportunity. Also because Scatterbrain, I will be working on my Instant on my Lappy. Fingers crossed, I get things done before I must get moving. If not, though,

Monday - Day Zero

Another singular case from overseas and detected in quarantine. Another reset of my paranoia because of the One Arsehole Theory. Today's agenda calls for House Unfuckening plus Driving Mr Mayhem with a dash of writing on the side.

Yes, folks, Mayhem is actually doing something to... Get a JOB. The skies may bleed. Be warned.

We've cleaned the Maker Debris from the shed and now there is space for two cars only. So if hail cometh whilst the Tesla is away, I

Sunday - Day Zero

No notice on where this newest case came from. It could be an error. I don't know. We did do our patriotic bit to help oust ScoMo and I am heartened by the fact that White One Nation's popularity has plummeted phenomenally in my fair state.

I can only hope that Scotty From Marketing notices that he and his shenanigans are on the way out. Same with the people behind One Nation.

I have seen a chart where One Nation's approval went

Saturday - Day Zero

Another case from overseas, and discovered in quarantine. So I'll be voting later today with FULL mask and gloves nonsense. Beloved will also be wearing a mask and gloves, because of the One Arsehole Theory:

"It only takes one arsehole to shit all over everything," -- Me

Also the gloves make it so I can use any hand sanitiser present without burning my skin off. Alcohol allergy makes for fun times in the year of the plague.

In the News:

  • Sweden realises

Friday - Day One

My flour did not arrive in the post, so I've fed my Starters and prepared The Bikkie as if we definitely had enough bread [two loaves only in the freezer makes me a smidge nervous] and hoping it arrives before next Friday, because the only flour I have left are skerricks. I may have to make an expedition to get some organic flour elsewhere.

Time will tell.

Today, Mayhem is out to the place made to help him so he can gain

Thursday - Day Zero

Two new cases from overseas and detected in quarantine. Augh. Including the five active cases, that's me practicing paranoia for a further fortnight because of the One Arsehole Theory.

According to some email, I might be getting my replacement flour today, so part of my day will be watching my phone for the all-important AusPost text telling me that something is in my parcel locker.

IF that parcel arrives today, I shall also use the opportunity to grab some extra cream from

Wednesday - Day Four

The Senate has confirmed a blatantly pro-life judge and "cruelty is the point" advocate for the supreme court, which is now 6-3 in favour of absolute evil. Two weeks before the election. They have all stated that they're going to let the Muppet do whatever he wants, throw out the postal votes, and ignore any tally that comes not-instantly after the polls close on the actual election day.

Fascism is real in America.

Today, rights formerly fought and won will erode.

I

Tuesday - Day Three

I have posted my Patreon nonsense - lots of Tiefling Tales today. I have a PLN to go out shopping for some things, but not all the things, and I have words to yet pour into my novel-in-progress as well as an Instant to write.

Yay.

There's an election upcoming and I don't know if we're early voting to avoid the crowds or going in person and me in mask. Because I won't go anywhere without my mask when all it takes

Monday - Day Two

It is the day of the Great Unfuckening, which promises to be expensive because I spent an ENTIRE WEEK noping out of smaller unfuckening tasks. I get what I deserve and the consequences of my inaction.

I still have to get the following:

  • Coffee
  • TP
  • Cream
  • Heat lamp bulbs [not red coloured because OMG]
  • new shoes for Miss Chaos
  • new shorts from the uniform shop for same

And SOMEHOW save enough cashola to pay for the bathroom rennos because the bathroom sink

Sunday - Day One

I have to make Beloved cut my new loafs so we can wrap them and freeze them for the later on of great need. I have ordered new flour because we're almost out of the dang stuff.

Sourdough eats flour. Even keeping it alive at the rate of half a cup of flour a week gnaws away at the supplies. It took me a while to get through ten kilos, but it all goes away in the end.

I'm writing a story,

Saturday - Day Zero - Bread Part 2

Two cases again from overseas, on a boat. No word as to whether they're staying on the boat or what. Blargh. My dough is thawing on the dining room table as I write this blog.

I'm leaving the Wordpress results of the troll up. It's a part of my learning journey and that kind of documentation might be important at a later date. Whatever. It is a piece of my past nevertheless.

Sigh.

It's Saturday and we're out of cream, I'm running

Friday - Day One - Bread Day

This morning I fell for a troll, fed my starters, and measured out the stuff to make bread with. I have confirmation that the ducks are marching towards a final destination of getting Miss Chaos on the NDIS. I have made The Bikkie and am eating chunks of it as hunger nibbles at me.

I have yet to take my coffee and pills, but all in all, it's not bad for being awake since 3AM. I'll take the positive. The thing I
