Saturday, Day 0, Feast Day

Plague News: Six new cases, all imports. There's twenty-four total active cases, sixteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 92.7% first vax, 87.7% fully vaxxed. Queensland's kind of neck-and-neck for last place with WA. We have 87.0% first vax, 77.7% fully vaxxed, while WA is at 87.2% first vax, 77.2% fully vaxxed.

I have carbs to consume today, part of a map to build in TaleSpire (ugh), and some delightful farting about to do today.

I have nothing planned and I want to enjoy it.

The crisis of No Money is keeping us at home today and I, for one, am glad. No aural assaults by relentless Crimbolio carols, no dealing with the hordes of zombie shoppers, no fending off the panic-shoppers. Yay. Just hunkering and bunkering with my boo.

In the news:

  • Tragic backstory for missing 20YO
  • Omicron hitting the kids hard
  • Parents of school shooter try running away
  • Wild weather in the cards
  • Booze may dry up before Crimbolio. Oh no, says the person allergic to alcohol, how can I enjoy my holidays sober?
  • Disney ride closed for being too scary
  • Five seconds after a homeless person wins Capitalism because crypto, experts call for crypto to be banned

Story now. Nonsense for the rest of the day.

Friday, Day 0, Ho Boy

Plague news: Three new cases, all locally acquired. There's eighteen total active cases, fourteen of them are in hospital. Australia's at 92.6% first vax, 87% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 86.8% first vax, 77% fully vaxxed.

I have starters to feed, bikkie to make, bikkie to consume, catbox to see to, more dungeon to build, and maybe some time to play.

Streaming my flash fictions is helping me stay on track, so I shall be keeping on with that through next

Thursday, Day 0, Runaround

Plague news: Two new cases, both imports. There's sixteen total active cases, fourteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 92.5% first vax, 87% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 86.7% first vax, 76.8% fully vaxxed.

Experts are saying the symptoms of Omicron are "milder" but that's no true guide to how bad it is. I'm calling it now. Thousands of leaders are going to dismiss the potential threat of Omicron and then learn later on in the year that Long

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: two new cases, both imports. There's fourteen total active cases, twelve of them are in hospital. Australia's at 92% first vax, 87% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 86.5% first vax, 76% fully vaxxed.

The new variant, the direct result of first-world countried hoarding vaccinations, is now loose in the first world. Talk about reaping what you sow.

If only we'd done for the plague what we did for fucking smallpox. If only the orange canker sore hadn't decided his ego

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Plague news: Five new cases, all imports. There's twelve total active cases, seven of those are in hospital. Australia's at 92% first vax, 86.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still second-last at 86% first vax, 76% fully vaxxed. It's looking like NSW will be the second to get to that precious >95% status. ACT was first.

I'm posting my bullshit on Patreon today, then working on Dungeon then farting about. Possibly a mix of Koshdelia and Satisfactory.

I'm having some fun with this.

Monday, Day 0, Long Day Ahead

Plague news: Three new cases, all local. There's seven total active cases, four of them are in hospital. Australia's at 92% first vax, 86.7% fully vaxxed. Queensland is still lagging massively behind almost everyone else at 86% first vax, 75.9% fully vaxxed. The only state/territory in last place is still WA.

I have few plns beyond getting some rest and attending the Tale Foundry read. Mondays are my low-stress day now. Mostly because I get all of my stress

Sunday, Day 0, Odd Hours

Plague News: One new case, a local transmission. There's six total active cases, five of those are in hospital. The way things are going, the one new case is going to be hospitalised tomorrow. Australia's at 92% first vax, 86.6% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still in 2nd-last place at 86% first vax and 75.7% fully vaxxed.

I find it weird how Victoria is pushing to open up despite having over a thousand active cases. It's like they just don't care about

Beloved has an eye appointment today, so I'm on my only for fixing the heck out of whatever's gone wrong on MeMum's compy today. Fun.

If I write anything at all besides my Instant today, I count it as a miracle. My left

Meanwhile, Clive Palmer, late of the Clive Palmer party for by and about Clive Palmer, has taken out an add that's just video of his anti-vax-mandate speech to a bunch of similarly-minded people.

The ACT is already at maximum capacity. NSW is gaining on that, with Victoria and Tasmania close behind. Next up are South Australia and the Northern Territory... with WA and Qld in last places.

In a few short minutes, I pack up Jolie and head

I have some Wordpress to summon words for and I may go on a bit about how little things can balloon outwards. Bits about what's missing in the module and what I've done to fill in the blanks. And what's happened as a result.

I have Patreon nonsense to share, the usual story, and shopping to do. There's a lot of rain so when I go out on my adventures, I will be driving carefully.

Miss Chaos missed her bus yesterday,

I have been awake since 10PM the prior evening and I plan to keep going until at least 6PM. Or try to achieve consciousness until that hour. Wish me luck.

If I write anything today, it's a bonus.

In the news:

Sunday, Day One, "Fun"

Plague news: No new cases! There's seven total active cases, six of those are in hospital. Australia's at 91% first vax, 84.9% fully vaxxed. Queensland is barely squeezing ahead of WA at 84% first vax, 73% fully vaxxed. Make no mistake, this is the race for LAST place.

Beloved got anxious about my waking time. Again. For the third time. And in trying to explain the mechanics, I made her cry. Damnit. There's a reminder system for Saturday and Sunday now

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
