Tuesday, Day 3, Busy busy busy...

Plague news: No new cases! There's four total active cases and all of them are in hospital. Australia's at 91.5% first vax, 85% fully vaxxed. Queensland's just edging out of being last at getting the jabs, at 84.6% first vax, 73% fully vaxxed.

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, and the reason is that Beloved was watching TV and not the local traffic. Lucky this happened on the last week of school and not during an important phase of the year.

Ah well.

In the news:

  • China has an army of censors keeping things from the people
  • Democrat gets sarcastic on Twitter, gets fired
  • Council crushes legally parked car, owner furious
  • Organic waste bins to come to Aussie homes
  • House fire in Melbourne
  • Vaccines for 5YOs
  • Man mistakenly diagnosed as dead, wakes up in morgue
  • TV hostie slammed for being a bit thick
  • People being busted for using their phones whilst driving
  • Scammers texting about the vaccines

And now I get on with getting on with things.

Monday, Day Two, Long Monday

Plague news: no new cases! There's four total active cases, all of them are in hospital. Australia's at 91.5% first vax, 85% fully vaxxed. Queensland's barely out of last place at 84.5% first vax, 73% fully vaxxed.

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:

  • TV Hostie

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

Beloved came home so late that we're celebrating her birthday today. There is cheesecake, but IDK when that's all going off.

I have:

  • Starters to feed
  • Bikkie to make and consume
  • Dungeon to dress
  • Words to create
  • Beloved to spoil rotten.

It's

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

We have taxes sorted, we have more than half a pln to afford Jolie's dental. Yay. Now if only I could capture a wild landscaper to deal with our yard, then all would be well.

I have managed to

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

I have few plans but to stay awake and chatter with fellow Author types today. Maybe play some games.

If anything gets written besides my Instant, it will be miraculous. And it was a short Instant anyway.

I'm TIRED -_-

I think I've got a handle on things with the irrational sleep schedule of Long Monday. For those of you not in the know, Long Monday starts at about 10PM Sunday night, when I awake from an afternoon nap I arranged so I

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

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.

Tuesday, Day 1, Patreon

Plague news: No new cases! There's thirteen total active cases, ten of those are in hospital. Australia's at 89% first vax, 80% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 79.6% first vax, 67% fully vaxxed.

Western Australia and the Northern Territory are the ones lagging behind. Especially on the second dose.

I have Patreon content to post, people to call, a river to build [TaleSpire's "fun"], and not enough funds to pay for all the things that need fixing.

In order of expense:
