Plague Diary

A 557-post collection

Tuesday, Day 2, Patreon

Plague news: no new cases! There's twenty-five total active cases, eighteen of those are in hospital with one in the ICU. Australia's at 84.8% first vax, 68% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 72.5% first vax, 56.9% fully vaxxed.

Australia seems to be charging ahead on the "opening up, ready or not" policy, disregarding how many infections and so forth that are happening. Like the new variants that are -join the chorus- more infectious and more deadly than previous ones. Huzzah.

Guess our glorious leaders think the tourist dollar is more important than having tourist guides alive to show them around. Sigh.

I have more things to share with my Patrons. In this case, more chapters and some anecdotes of a Baby DM. I haven't had the wherewithall to do anything else and I have the guilts.

I'm trying to get over that. I am, after all, just one person.

I have to plot to herd a bunch of Murder Hobos into being True Heroes. Or at least Imposter Syndrome Heroes. That takes some creative energy.

In the news:

  • Yellow Wiggle quits
  • Warning that NSW cases will peak again
  • Colin Powell dies of the plague despite being vaccinated. Take this as a warning
  • Missing 4YO's biofather is Suspect #1 in her vanishing
  • Man who looks like Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito's suspected murderer, ambushed at gunpoint
  • Australia fires back at Ted Cruz for blasting Aussie's covid response
  • China digging in for combat with Taiwan
  • Hooter's waitstaff up in arms about the short shorts
  • We could have renewable energy already if ScoMo wasn't such a coward

And now - storytime.

Monday, Day One, Recovery

Plague news: No new cases! There's twenty-eight total active cases, nineteen of those are in hospital, with one in the ICU. Australia's at 84% first vax, 67.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 72% first vax, 56.6% fully vaxxed.

I'm a little mentally toasted from D&D last night. I do these things to myself. I know it. I can fight to keep myself awake until bedtime so I'm better at doing tomorrow.

Blurgh.

My players are trying to crack the

Sunday, Day 0, PLNs?

Plague news: Three new cases, all imports. There's twenty-nine total active cases, eighteen of those are in hospital and one of those is in the ICU. Australia's at 84% first vax, 67% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 72% first vax and 56% fully vaxxed.

We're going to need all those vaccines because NSW is opening up to a global influx of Knomiras who won't pay attention to any rule they don't like. Yay.

Beloved will be making something wonderful with very little of

Today, my love and I are adding some much needed shelves to the ensuite so there's room for all the little bottles and things she needs for her beauty routine.

That may take most of the day.

I have Starters to feed, a catbox to clean, a one-thousand-word goal for my novel, and it's raining so the stream is bound to be chunky.

FUN.

At least I save my stream sessions so if the internet goes to

Miss Chaos is back to school, and it's nice to see those little squares on the health.gov site filling up. IDK about the red squares meaning fully vaxxed though. Someone else make the colour theory joke.

It's raining! On one hand, nice

There's

I have to be asleep by six to

I am being kind to myself as I can sense the smoulder

Eeps.
