Dear Diary

A 3586-post collection

Sunday, Day 0, Whoops

Plague news: eight new cases. Five imports, three local. Two more according to our PM, and one of each. Forty-six or forty-seven total cases. All presumed to be in hospital.

I have enjoyed Toasty's stream [and I swear I wrote a blog for today back then. Derp :( ], watched Tale Foundry's stream, did my stream, and learned how to raid other streamers. Yay.

Not looking at the news. This is late enough as it is.

On the other hand, I have the rest of today to chillax, edit tags, and work on the next story. A Beginner's Guide to the Afterlife. Could be interesting.

Onwards!

Saturday, Day 0, Fun Feast?

Plague news: Five new cases, three local and two imports.

Masks are mandatory, so when I emerge from my rock to gain ice cream, I shall have my purple polkadot ppe on. Delta strain may have been spread in Queensland and this is now yikes territory.

I forgot to feed my Starters yesterday, but I got onto it this morning, so they should be fine.

In the news:

  • One country is facing a huge Delta outbreak
  • Statue of Lady Di continues to

Thursday, Day 0, PLN

Plague news: Four new cases - one import, three local. Forty-two total cases, all are in hospital.

I'm streaming in a few, just as soon as I'm done here. Meanwhile, I'm listening in to Game of Tomes on SableAradia. It's a fun thing in prep for NaNo. I think I shall have to count my Instants.

I'll play along. Every little bit helps, I guess.

On my agenda right now - get the bins out before the garbage trucks come.

In the

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: four new cases, two of each import and local transmission. Forty-one total cases and all of them are in hospital. We're in day one of a three-day lockdown. Thanks, Knomiras.

Straight after I post here, I'm going to stream the creation of another flash fiction. Link in the list from the hamburger.

In the news:

  • Delta hits the headlines in relation to Queensland
  • Former Disney star did a racy photoshoot and now people are slamming him for it
  • Lockdown shenanigans

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Plague news: Three new cases, two local, one import. Forty-one total cases and they're all in hospital.

I have a PLN to open up my Discord to all visitors [come join us!] and lowering the bar for that on my Patreon is one of my priorities this morning. Augh.

Plague vectors to the right of me, plague vectors to the left of me... BUT at least I have sanity projects so there's that.

In the news:

  • Mine worker the latest patient zero

Monday, Day 0, Soft Launch!

Plague news: Three new cases. One import, two local. Nyergh. Forty total cases, thirty-six of those are in hospital.

Firkin plague.

Those of you who follow my Tumblr know that we have soft launched the app. Currently unavailable and uncoded - account creation. Sort of necessary since accounts keep track of user faves and view settings.

We may or may not code cheevs at a later point. That's a problem for Future Us.

Also missing from the database is searchable tags for

Sunday, Day 0, Stream Shenanigans again

Plague news: One new case, an import. Thirty-nine active cases, thirty-seven of those in hospital.

Toasty has a stream in the wee smol, and I am prepared with a nest of caffeine and other hydrations. The pln for today is to chillax and maybe, after the post-Toasty napnap, write an Instant.

I'm not really looking at the news, but there's some buckwild stuff happening in the fandom zone.

Like:

  • The people behind Supernatural are creating a prequel series? With somehow castiel involved?

Saturday, Day 0, Today maybe?

Plague news: Two new cases, both imports. Forty-one active cases, thirty-seven of those are in hospital

Beloved has had some very rough days at the office, so to speak. So progress on Mobile Instants has come to a screeching halt. If Beloved can't figure out the unriddling of the problem, then I have NO hopes.

Fingers crossed that the unriddling happens today.

Also in my PLNs:

  1. The mandatory Instant
  2. Attending the first entirely online writers' convention
  3. Eating a lot of carbage

Friday, Day Zero, Overstretched

Plague news: One import, three local transmissions. Thirty-nine active cases, thirty-five in hospital. No lists of where any hot spot might be.

They really need to release people from quarantine AFTER they get the test results back. This is like the fifth time someone tested clean until the last day, when they were tested and released, and came back positive.

I have a lot on my plate today. Including the house unfuckening, starter feeding, instant creating and 1K Friday... I also have

Thursday, Day 0, Fargnax

Plague news: Well the Qld Health site is broken a little bit, but there's one new case. It's an import. Thirty-five active cases, thirty-three in hospital.

Beloved had a bad night yesterday, so still no progress on the program. It's finding the right hour to unriddle the dang thing that's the current problem.

Since I have little else to do but my stories today, I shall aim to get twice the amount of tags done today. Maybe even more than that. We

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: 1 local, two imports. Thirty-five total with twenty-seven in hospital. Once again, the local transmission is a quarantine worker who assumed they were safe and let the protocols slip. Whoops.

The vax only protects YOU. It does not stop transmission because this shit can hang out on surfaces for a day or more. Wash your fucking hands, wear your gotdang mask, and know where your hand sanitiser is.

...and vaccinate your fucking kids...

In program news - Beloved and I

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Plague news: Five new cases, all imports. Thirty-two total, twenty-seven in hospital.

That's some scary numbers. The waves happen overseas, but they still wash up on our shores.

I have some Patreon stuff to share - yay. And some screencaps to make for the program progress. And five hundred words to write. And an Instant to create.

In the news:

  • Gold Logie winner hit by a car
  • TV Host accused of imitating That Scene Sharon Stone Did
  • China attacking crypto
  • More concern

Monday, Day 0, Fan-firkin-tastic

Plague news: One local transmission, zero imports. Twenty-seven total cases and twenty-six of those are in hospital.

...yaaaayyy...

I need to poddle along to a Chemists and get myself some saline for the nebuliser because I am almost out of the dang stuff.

The F-key on my keyboard keeps popping off and I may have to get a new keyboard at some point. Depends on how annoying this gets in my future.

Today: house unfuckening, 500 words, and the daily instant. If

Sunday, Day 1, Stream

Plague news: twenty-six total cases, and all of them are in hospital. Yikes.

Toasty's doing a stream sometime real soon now. I wait in eager anticipation of that nonsense.

Didn't get any coding done yesterday because out and about trying to get stuff. We did get most stuff, but not the one thing that I had absent-mindedness about.

It was hollandaise sauce. They didn't have any. Ugh.

Not looking at the news. Just focussing on having some literature done before an early

Saturday, Day 0, Feast Day

Plague News: Three new cases, all imports. Twenty-nine total and twenty-two in hospital.

Mum's got a sore arm and has trouble raising her jab arm because pain. Otherwise, all seems relatively well.

Today, post-story, we need to do stuff. The dinner plates are going extinct, so we should get another cheapo set from Kmart. There's also something I forgot to get and still forget now.

Like... I remember that I remembered when I was scoping out the fridge... but I forget what
