I have a kitty to wrangle today. Indulgences to purchase and then absorb into my material being. At least Pippi is easy to capture.
Probably not going to get into today's tale until after that.
Friday, Day Zero, Unfuckening Ho
I am buzzing... more or less. I got rocking and rolling. I cleared out all the meat that was turning blurgh grey, which was most of it. I also fed my Starters and made The Bikkie. Later today I will be getting assorted garbage out of my home. Yay.
Got a lot of Crimbolio presents wrapped on Wednesday, and I have a plot or three. It wouldn't be a 'Nutter Crimbolio without at least one mini plot. But it's confirmed - I

Two cases from overseas, each detected in quarantine, but they do take the active case count up to ten. I dislike double figures in my active case count. One more week of school this year and it's not really worth giving up on the mask for that.
I feel Yulemas Mania approaching and this year... I want to make FUDGE.
I've fallen into a rabbit hole that started with an article about three-ingredient fudge. I've looked at the alternatives, found a recipe

There's prawns all over the place if you're willing to shop around, and I am willing to shop around. Unfortunately, I just looked at all the prices online and... yeah... Prawns cost the same no matter where you get 'em from.
So I'm gonna make sure I have a bunch of dosh and get a lot of the dang things. In one place. And then hide them and forget I have them until the next time I get ice cream because I'm

Thirteen active cases, with one new one included in that count from overseas. Thirteen chances for someone to act like a Karen.
Capt. S. is not coming for Yulemas, so it's up to me to provide the sweeties. Getting a very nice (and fattening) cake to enjoy with all the other finger foods available.
It's going to be mostly nibbles, this yule. Less bother, et cetera.
I'm not looking at the headlines. I'm just writing my daily nonsense and then going to

So a few days ago I realised that I would have to start PLNing for Yulemas. I usually start panicking about this time of year long about two weeks after my own birthmas. Because that's a thing. I have a budget and 90% of the time it's slim. So advance planning makes a better yule.
It's not looking to be great. All the people in my life are hard to buy for. Either they don't care or they don't want anything. Which

I keep forgetting it's November. Which means that I am overdue for Cashmas Panic. Hell, I haven't even gone looking for MeMum's bifdy present [I even almost forgot the nativity anniversary was yesterday -blush] and that's usually the precursor to Cashmas Panic.
So. Sometime this weekend, I shall be venturing forth from my bunker my bubble my home and either acquiring or sourcing places with which to accomplish a safe and sane yulemas.
Honestly, having a lo-prep Yule is a firkin fantastic

Fifteen active cases in total. All from overseas. All in quarantine. New South Wales is entering that twenty-eight day milestone of no in-community transmission. Which means Queensland can relax about travellers from NSW at long freaking last.
Victoria seems to be treating this seriously as well. Huzzah.
I woke up at one in this morning and I have a PTA thing involving Chaos' future path in life. She's good at making cryptids now, but IDK about doing a career out of that.

One more case from outside, thirteen total cases continuing on. Blah blah blah one arsehole yaddah yaddah.
Today, I am not writing any novels. Well, not professional novels. Fanfic can reach novel length or longer and that's what's cool about it.
I am writing only for fun from now until further notice. Sooner or later one of my queue'd novel springboards will capture my attention and I'll get onto that. Plague has done my head in and it's still going, so I

Two cases from overseas, once more. Thirteen active cases and thirteen people who could choose to be That Arsehole. I note that the infographic for such has altered to make sure everyone knows whether the new cases are from outside or from within.
Smart move.
I have already enjoyed watching Toasty make excellent art and, five seconds after I post here, I will likely slink off for an extended slugabout.
Let's get on with it.

Good news - I have a decent amount of bread in the freezer. Bad news, it was a long and complicated process because I also had to take the cats to the vet and intercept unanticipated house visitors.
Yeeps.
Sourdough on its own is complicated enough. Twice that plus cats plus unintended running around plus bread juggling1... leads to one exhausted 'Nutter. I earned treats, but I only had strawberry cheesecake Haagen Daaz.
Then Beloved babysat my breads and voluntarily got

One more from off the shore, eight active cases [I can presume that the two now off the list got better] and mutterings of open borders in time for Christmas.
Here comes Plague-a-claus....
Ahem. I'm a bitter bitch. Ignore me.
I have kitties to sequester in their carrycases because TODAY is finally the day that I drag them off for their vaccines. Huzzah. Since I'm also making TWICE the bread, this weekend, I have Beloved babysitting my starter and maybe the actual

Three new cases today, all from overseas, all detected in quarantine. Ten active cases. Ten potentials to have one of them be an arsehole.
Chaos is going through my bread supplies so I'm doing a Double Batch as an attempt to keep up. One batch today, and another batch tomorrow. Which is also the new-new-rescheduled day for the cats to get their jabs.
This is the third time I have planned to traumatise my cats this week. It is stress. Jolie is

One more case from overseas and captured in quarantine. We have eight total active cases. Any one of those could up and decide to be the One Arsehole.
Today, I am taking my kitties to the vet's for their immunisations. It's very important to keep the creatures in my care safe, even though their likelihood of contracting anything is minimal at best. One Arsehole works even for critters, though critters have less in the way of agency in that case.
It's going

I'm making bread so that there's an oversupply and I will be free to nom on a household loaf whenever.
Alongside the PLNs to make bread, there's household unfuckening and the usual writing to do.
Over this week, I have been writing a guide to Whitekeep, the point of Origin for my Tiefling dude. Loads upon loads of worldbuilding into one solid document.
...which I believe may be finished, but I'm not certain. I need people to check it before I send
