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 wrist needs a rest anyway.

In the news:

  • The new strain I mentioned yesterday is now named Omicron. THANK THE POWERS nobody went with the country of origin
  • Major recall of kiddies' chocolate
  • Dam near Sydney bursts
  • Woman sues cricket star for unsolicited sexting
  • Subway might fail now that one of the founders died
  • Man dumps sex doll for younger, newer sex doll. No, really

I post, I check the roads, I call MeMum, and I am offski. I hope.

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.

Miss Chaos missed her bus yesterday,

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

  • Dungeon to dress
  • Words to create
  • Beloved to spoil rotten.

It's

I'm TIRED -_-
