Day Zero

A 364-post collection

Saturday, Day 0, PLNs

Plague News: One new case, an import. There's seven total active cases, six of those are in hospital. Australia's at 91% first vax, 84.6% fully vaxxed. Queensland is just pulling ahead of WA, at 84% first vax, and 72.6 fully vaxxed.

Today, I indulge. I didn't see any cake yesterday, so we gotta get into it today. I'm going to indulge for sure.

I might get into TaleSpire. I might write more of my terrible Tiefling tale. I am going to have a lazy day.

The good news is that my Undead Filk is a hit. I shall endeavour to do one where I don't stumble henceforth. The people behind Game of Tomes want it for their playlist. Huzzah.

In the news:

  • Promising young man under scrutiny for naughty texts
  • Key new finds in the Tyrell case
  • Biden stopped WWIII
  • 2022 is going to suck, here's the charts that prove it
  • Another optical illusion garment divides the internet
  • Toddler found drowning in a pool
  • Serena Williams slammed for (checks notes) mourning the death of her sister
  • All You Can Eat restaurant bans an over-eater
  • Aussie influencer calls out Corporate Mouse Land

I got distracted by story stuff. That's why this is late. Story now.

Thursday, Day 0, Organised? Pls?

Plague news: One new case, an import. There's fourteen total active cases, twelve are in hospital. Australia's at 90.9% first vax, 83.9% fully vaxxed. Queensland is tied with WA for last in the race to get jabbed; at 83% first vax, and 71.6% fully vaxxed.

Queensland's borders are open. Yay?

BUT more importantly, Beloved is one year older this very day. Merry birthmas, Beloved. May you get everything you need.

I gotta show her a good time tonight. Or

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon, Shrink, and Dink

Plague news: Two new cases, both imports. There's sixteen total active cases, fourteen of them are in hospital. Australia's at 90.5% first vax, 83% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still last in the vax rate at 82% first vax and 70.5% fully vaxxed. Now that we're at 70% first dose, the borders are OPEN.

Bring on the plague carriers from NSW and Victoria, I guess.

Today, I have Patreon nonsense to share, a visit to the shrink, and fleshing out the third

Saturday, Day 0, Crimbolio PLNs

Plague news: Four new cases, two of each. There's nineteen total active cases, fourteen of them are in hospital. Australia's at 90% first vax, 82% fully vaxxed. Queensland is lagging in the rear at 81% first vax, and 69% fully vaxxed.

We're making PLN's for the festive season. When or if I'm ferrying MeMum somewhere on the day. Also we shall be stocking up on supplies so I can minimise potential exposure to The Little Drummer Boy.

Once you've heard the Whiny

  • Consume same

Miss Chaos will be very glad because she doesn't need her mask everywhere. I am glad because Aabria Iyengar, one of the more famous DM's of online D&D RealPlays, is herding the McElboys through an adventure. It'll be interesting to see how a pro

So close to not needing our masks any more. Dangit.

I will be going off about "single use plastics" in my Wordpress today because it needs going off about. There's so much we don't think about whilst everyone is hung up on straws. Fuck straws.

Time zones are promising to make my weekends "interesting". I have to start D&D an hour earlier so my story hour on Monday mornings is happening at 4AM because FUCK going to

At least I have access to stats again. Sigh.

It's looking like the new Ashwagandha is working, so now I'm going to purchase half a dozen more bottles and hoping that THIS lot isn't discontinued also.

I have Starters to feed, and when I run out of flour, I'm

If it goes badly, I might be building wibbly

NSW and Victoria are starting to use the Vaccine Passports. MeMum has hers. I need to get rattling to make certain Chaos has hers and Mayhem has his. The former involves a lot of paperwork. Ugh.

Beloved had trouble
