Apocalypse Journal

There's three new cases today, and the total is at twenty-six. All from overseas and so forth, but still concerning. I have my new glasses and I have to go back to the place I got them from because the magnetic sunnies that came with are chockerblock full of bubbles, rendering a coherent view of the world - and therefore their purpose - moot.

I'll see what can be done about that ASAP. I need my sunnies.

The good news is that I also acquired Miss Chaos' school essentials. In this case, a selection of pants and some new shoes. I also tossed the shoes that were nearly falling apart. Huzzah. I derived a great amount of pleasure from hurling those shits DEEP into the bin.

My bread experiment is a success. The one-loaf-frozen policy not only keeps the stocks stable, but the one-loaf-out is down to the butt ends. Upon which I heartily recommend an open-faced grilled sandwich with an option for cream cheese. The "bad" news being that I shall have to make more bread this Friday.

In the news that's filtered in to my radar:

• Muppet says that Biden will be hoist by his own petard and attacked with the 25th Amendment, though not as eloquently
• The man who idly golfed while hundreds of thousands of people died has less than one day left in office. He has plans to churn out 100 pardons and I hope every single one of them is under intense scrutiny
• Rudy Giuliani now refuses to defend the Muppet on account of not being paid [And now for the news I have to look up]
• WHO warns of "catastrophic moral failure" - and it's about who gets the vaccine first. Spoilers, it's rich people
• Muppet's last official action was to lift travel bans and import more variants of the plague from all over the world. Allegedly it's going to help protect the USA
• Muppet wants the BIGGEST party with all his fwends to bid him bye-bye. You mean all those "friends" you alienated with your loonie conspiracy BS? All those "friends" you fired and then refused to pay them for the jobs they did? Whoops
• Queensland drivers up for a $300+ fee for hanging their mask off of their rear view mirror. Has nobody learned not to hang bullshit off of their rear view? WAT? They deserve the fee. Deesh
• Melania is the only one who's doing anything to help the Bidens move into the Whitehouse
• Muppet points at China's concentration camps as evil but his own are okay, I guess

I'm going to post a bit of Destiny's Fools and then write my story and then go see about my sunnies.

Not only do I have Patreon nonsense to organise today, but I also have my new glasses ready and a Miss Chaos to outfit for the school year ahead. Also a new episode of Critical Role dropped on YouTube so you know I'm going to binge me some D&D.

Currently, waiting for the shops to open whilst getting my mandatory creative nonsense done. Soon on my agenda is a lot of copy-pasta to get the Patreon stuff out there at

School holidays are coming to an end, so Miss Chaos and I need to make some decisions. Undies, lunch box arrangements, water bottle nonsense, pants, but shoes are a MUST.

Last year's shoes should really be found and tossed. They were three breaths from falling apart anyway.

But not today. Today, I am unfuckening the house and cleaning away the bread mess of the weekend, and then slobbing for the rest of the day. Perhaps working on the prompt from Tale Foundry.

Twenty-nine total cases, only one of which is new. I'm still nervous about the high number of cases. Paranoia is fun.

I got a LOT achieved yesterday, mostly on the "while you're there" principal. Let's see. In order:

1. Start bread thawing
2. Fetch parcel [I now own two copies of the TAZ board game and I don't know how that happened since they didn't ship to Aus when I ordered it]
3. Cash in bottles and cans at the recycle place [something close to

I have another parcel waiting for me, and the creeping realisation that I need more stuff than I thought. Today is going to be expensive.

Two of today's three cases are from overseas and the third is "an historic case" according to the QLD Premiere. The news there doesn't say how it's historic and I couldn't see anything about it in the headlines.

The young lass in the news for potentially spreading the plague in Queensland is actually NOT a trouble. She
