Friday, Day 0, Ow

Plague news: SIX new cases, all imports. Thirty-one total active cases and seventeen of those are in hospital. Australia's at 81% first vax, 59% fully vaxxed. Queensland is holding steady at 50% fully vaxxed. Miss Chaos gets her second jab next week.

Today, I have PLNs to do some home maintenance, but I also kinked my shoulders during my stream this morning so IDK how far I'll get with that.

I am being kind to myself as I can sense the smoulder of burnout attempting to catch my brain.

In the news:

  • New NSW Premier more concerned with popularity than the health and safety of his voters
  • Victoria cases out of control
  • Tennis Star's girlfriend shares evidence he's a cheater
  • Claims of Zodiac Killer's identity may be sus as hell
  • China again threatens Australia
  • Teen caught going 170+ kph was also filming the evidence of his dangerous bullshit
  • Truckies threatening strikes because they are forced into dangerous working conditions
  • Pauline Hanson slams Covid rule just for the props from the Knomiras
  • People "just waiting" for the vaccine should go sign up for it
  • Schools under pressure to stop banning nuts. Someone's kids will fucking DIE because of this
  • Apparently, people are surprised to learn that the Aussie shops stack spice bottles in alphabetical order

Storytime!

I'm doing my best to keep the content flowing, even though other things want

Oof...

I did three and a half hours of cleaning, yesterday. The other half hour was spent fetching Mayhem from school. My back hurts, I'm tired (but can't sleep. Such fun) and the house looks amazing.

I also have a case of the gut bugs from somewhere. And I haven't done that much different from my regular routine. Which means either (a) mild food poisoning, or (b) I managed to pick up something from the local shops that I never wanted.

Either way,

Post-Yule fallout

Boxing day. A day when the fridge is full of leftovers and the house is full of wrapping paper. Today is going to be pretty much an all-day snack and I know it.

Thanks to Pizza on Christmas Eve, and the feast yesterday, I'm back up over my 95-Kilo celebration border. So I will be attempting [underline attempting] to keep my sweet tooth in check.
