Day One

A 72-post collection

Tuesday, Plague Day 1

Yesterday gave me a scratchy throat. It also gave me a nice notice from Miss Chaos' school saying that there had been CORONA EXPOSURE in her class.

This morning's RAT had a faint line in the "positive" section. Which, for those of you who are unfamiliar, means that I have the plague.

This morning has given me an even worse throat, a headache, and pains in my bones. I shall aim to get my content out anyway, but my main focus will be on taking it easy on myself.

My output may be slow today.

So now I have to ring Chaos' school, my local medics, and tell everyone I've been in contact with to self-isolate. So much for my nacent pln to get myself ingredients for the shandy.

I'm going to have to order it remote.

I feel very cold and very tired, and I am soothing my throat with tea.

Further bulletins as news warrants.

Friday, Day 1, Bikkie Day

Plague news: No new cases! There's thirty-eight total active cases, twenty-seven of those are in hospital. Australia's at 93% first vax, 88.7% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still tied with WA for last place in the vax race at 87.9% first vax, 80% fully vaxxed. Because Omicron, we're all going to need a booster. I shall be discussing that with my quack at a later time.

I have starters to feed, bikkie to make, Catbox to change and maybe a task or

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

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

Friday, Day 1, Busy Day?

Plague news: No new cases! There's eleven total active cases, ten of those are in hospital. Australia's at 91% first vax, 84% fully vaxxed. Queensland is barely inching ahead of WA with 83.6% first vax, and 72% fully vaxxed.

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

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

Sunday, Day 1, Game Night

Plague news: No new cases! There's nineteen total active cases, fifteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 90% first vax, 82.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland is STILL dead last at 81.7% first vax, 69.9% fully vaxxed.

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

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:

Wednesday, Day 1, Wordpress

Plague News: No new cases! There's thirteen total active cases, eleven of those are in hospital. I don't have any new data on the state of vaccination for some weird reason. Maybe tomorrow, we'll get something. I blame the Melbourne Cup.

Today, I have to think of something to go off about or talk about for my Wordpress Wednesday. It's probably going to be about AntiScience, the Media, and the growing cult of magical thinking.

That needs some verbal pummeling IMHO.

Plague news: no new cases! There's seventeen total active cases, fourteen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 87.9% first vax, 76% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 77% first vax, 63% fully vaxxed.

Everything's opening up and damn the infections. I am looking forward to getting my Covax when it comes out. The booster that prevents the spread. Even if it lands me in hospital, I will firkin take it.

It's better than spreading the plague.

Yesterday, I finished my novel and

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

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

Saturday, Day 1, PLNning

Plague news: No new cases! Thirty-one total active cases, nineteen are in hospital. Australia's at 81% first vax, 60% fully vaxxed. Queensland's up to 51% fully vaxxed. We're getting better.

Today, I cook and eat my bikkie because I forgot about my Starters until long after I had other forms of nutrition. Whoops. Today I also indulge in other tasty treats. Hooray.

Otherwise, I post my story and then goof off for the day.

I have to be asleep by six to

My personal health news: my arm is back to what passes for normal. I'm on antibiotics and steroids for the lung gobbets, which are now smaller and harder to get rid of -_- Win

Saturday, Day 1, Unfuckening Part 2

Plague news: no new cases! Twenty total active cases with only nine in hospital. Australia's almost at 75% first-vax and 50% fully vaxxed. Queensland's at 44% fully vaxed. I am still rather weary but I have only minor aches in my arm now.

I am going to cut up all the free range cardboard so it takes up less space, and finally go through the Pile from the computer room floor.

I was distracted by getting new kitty litter yesterday. Beloved came
