Dear Diary

A 3584-post collection

Thursday, Day 0, PLNs

Plague News: 1 589 new cases, all local. 6 368 total active cases, 93 of those are in hospital.

Vax News:

  • Australia's at 94.2% first vax,
  • 91.2% fully vaxxed
  • Queensland's at 90.5% first vax,
  • 86.2% fully vaxxed
  • Still tangled with WA at 91.0% first vax,
  • 83.5% fully vaxxed
  • Northern Territory is now last at 89.2% first vax,
  • 84.1% fully vaxxed

Everyone seems to have paused on getting the jabs and it looks like they're giving up on containing Omicron. I can only hope it doesn't kill me when it gets to me.

Today's pln will probably involve shopping for the Girl's Day Out, this Friday. BUT I also aim to do a little bit more dungeon map, and maybe try to find a better tutorial for ClipStudio. I think I'm getting a handle on WorldAnvil, but there's some things I must yet unriddle about it.

Baby steps. I refuse to let myself get frustrated out of doing the thing. Or my multitude of things.

In the news:

  • Doctors tell us to not give up on at least trying to slow the plague down
  • NSW cases now in five figures
  • NT feels the quake that hit Indonesia
  • People are still mining Nostradamus for predictions for next year
  • NOW the rapid tests are coming out 9_9
  • Elon Musk sets deadline to put someone on Mars
  • 40% of polled New Year's Resolutions include promises to go Greener

And now, the stories for the day.

  • Queensland's at 90.5% first vax,
  • 86.1% fully vaxxed
  • Western Australia's at 90.9% first vax,
  • 83.4% fully vaxxed

I'm starting to believe that maybe Omicron might be the variant to get... but I'd still rather wait until those miracle drugs are available before I take the risk.

Seasonal Seasonings

No story today. I am not looking at the news, I am not looking at the plague statistics. For Christmas, I am giving myself temporary peace of mind.

Today's goals are:

  1. Stay safe on the road
  2. Family time
  3. Presents

IF I get any writing done today, I will count it as either a fluke or dedication/obsession on my part because I won't be bringing my Lappy on today's road trip.

It is the Silly Season, the temporary madness when we all

At some point later today, I shall record a special Crimbolio message for Twitch. That way, I can do all my social media messages while Twitch gets the video.

Today, I shall be cleaning

"Learning to live with the virus," should have meant, "Change our habits to prevent or slow the spread of the disease," and NOT "lol let it loose
