My normal routine is on the road this morning. I shall be working on the lappy as I go a-roaming. My shrink is in for some edutainment today.
Thirteen total cases, and eleven of those are in hospital.
Also today is the official beginning of me staying the hell away from anything close to a carb. I have been indulging too much in my sweet tooth and its been getting to my health.
Not looking at the news. I have nonsense to perpetuate.
One new case today, an import. Thirteen total cases. Twelve in hospital. Pretty much the same statistics as yesterday. Stable is better than regression.
Today's pln involves cleaning up party mess because Miss Chaos turned 16 on Sunday. Lots of unsuitable food lying around. Including a big ol' platter of sushi.
Temptation...
I'm making a start on the next 3K in my novel, talking about pollution and corruption and whatnot whilst not actually getting on my soapbox. Have to have a chat
Read more »One new case, an import. Thirteen total cases, and twelve in the hospital. Still double figures, but smaller double figures than the previous normal. Miss Chaos is sweet sixteen and yet to find someone to love. Let her take her time.
She's already got new clothes of her own choosing, a fresh haircut, a money card[birthday card with cash inside], and a cake awaiting consumption. It's going to be a relatively quiet celebration.
In the news:
No new cases, leaving thirteen active cases, all of which are in hospital. I now have my hooks into a tradie and the deal goeth thusly:
Fifty bucks an hour, and it should only take a couple of those. Fingers crossed, but I have enough stowed away in case of the fuckup factor.
It's only after we have the new vanity that I will siphon off the
Read more »Miss Chaos turns sweet sixteen this Sunday. Huzzah. There's already enough sweet things in this house to change the shape of my hands, so I am doing Keto in Hard Mode(tm). I'll do some solid fasts next week and get back on track. Not looking forward to living off of mostly salty broth, but it's what I gotta do for my health and here we are.
Adulting is terrible at times.
Today is household unfuckening plus one thousand words in the

Today's scam article will be about one that nearly got me. Stay tuned for that.
Otherwise, I have a smol's birthday to ponder and she's at that late stage of childhood where she refuses to enjoy anything that's "too childish". We may let her decree what's happening for her special day.
Meanwhile.

There shall be more of a Terrible Tiefling Tale, with all the bits and bobs and maybe even a footnote. We shall see.
In the news:
One new case, an import. Eighteen total, and seventeen in hospital. It's less than it was, but it could also get big again. Today's the day I should be googling bathroom rennos to get the vanity fixed in my slo-mo disaster area. Whee fun.
After I recover from THAT, I need to talk to the doctor's about getting the family jabbed against the plague and what would be best for Beloved (diabetic) and myself (asthmatic) as well as the kids (who have

Today, my alarm didn't sound for some reason. I may have accidentally turned it off. I shall be more aware tomorrow. Maybe an "update" has eliminated the trick I use to mute the ads in my games but still hear the phone. Note, Google execs, that updates are supposed to improve things for your user base, not

I shall be calling me own Mum in a moment.
Two new cases are imports, twenty-one total, seventeen in hospital. It's going on, and it's still going.
News I tripped over today:
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and there may or may not be cake because budget. There's three new cases, all imports. Twenty total and seventeen in hospital. Possibly three pending. Today should be my feast day but I'm wondering about putting it on hold for all the familial carbs coming tomorrow.
Time will tell, but I will probably buckle and get into my stash. Because carbs are tasty. I shall pay the price on Monday. For sure.
Not looking at the news. Getting

Miss Chaos is coming home this afternoon and I am hoping that there's no trouble. I may even be vulnerable to telescammers because I am on call just in case the camping people want to know a thing about Chaos and her needs.
I've got The Bikkie on, and am about to arrange some moolah for myself from my accumulated

Considering that I'm a "cotton wool" parental, it is a measure of my internal strength that I am not a ball of nerves as a direct result. Time will tell.
In the news:
One case that's an import, putting the total active cases up to eighteen. Seventeen of these good people are in hospital. Eesh.
In today's Wordpress, I shall be wringing more angst juice out of one snippet of my original bullet points.
Today promises to be extra fun because cyclone headache. I've taken my painkillers and an antihistamine, so I am sincerely hoping that that cuts down on the nonsense I'm dealing with. Bad air days suck, and I'm hoping to learn whether

My story yesterday hurt one of my readers and that's never a good feeling. My bad for not being able to imagine a hero in the setting. So today's not off to a fantastic start for this nerd. I can't rewrite the story. It's a terrible road marker on my learning to be a better
