Gah

SIX gorram cases, all from overseas. The Yule Flood probably won't end until half-past january, Twenty-one active cases. I am very nervous about this.

Today's agenda includes going through the chest freezer for everything inedible, unwanted, and just plain old. We need more room in there for the party stuff.

In the news:

• China's plan to punish Australia by not buying Aussie stuff backfires

• Muppet press secretary goes after fellow Repugnicans for ignoring Muppet demands
• Cops raid COVID Whistleblower for publishing actual statistics on the plague. She's back at it inside 24 hours
• Kmart and Target set to change after a kid nearly lost her eye WTF?
• Anthony Fauci warns of horrendous consequences resulting from the Muppet ignoring the plague
• More Muppet lawyers test positive for the plague
• Some countries trying to corner the vaccine market. Surprise, they're the ones with the most money
• "Quality" parenting is hanging your baby in a babybjorn on the back of a chair while you get drunk and hit on randos at the bar. Charming

• Maccas releases nutella-filled hotcakes, expected to sell like... youknow...

BLAUGH. I need to take a break from the news again. I want to wash my brain out. Give me fluffy romance and two people being goofs together with consenting adults as chief players. PLEASE.
