Dear Diary

A 3585-post collection

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 my help, I guess. Mostly because Sundays are my Sleep Dep days because Interesting Schedule.

Speaking of interesting schedules, Toasty was streaming, Tale Foundry has rescheduled, and I have a little over half an hour before I run my stream. Yay.

In the news:

  • You can get a jab at Bunnings as well as your snag inna slice
  • Lisa Wilkins fired over the phone from being co-host on Today, and her male co-host continues to be old on television...
  • Channel 7 stars are being dickholes
  • Dad nets thousands making organic nut butter
  • 4YO vanishes from outback campsite
  • China threatens tiny country
  • Vax-hesitant nation hits new death count high
  • Pub shut down over antivax support
  • Earthquake in Bali
  • RL Squid game halted in South Korea
  • Photo of Covid victim triple plastic-wrapped and drenched in disinfectant shocks the world

And soon... storytime.

Saturday, Day 0, Woodworking!

Plague news: Two new cases, both 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, 66% fully vaxxed. Queensland's reached 71.7% first vax, and 55.5% fully vaxxed.

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.

Friday, Day 2, Assorted Nonsense

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

I am going to sleep soon so I can more easily transition from Trainee DM to Baby DM.
