A 847-post collection

Tuesday, Day Zero, big day

There's FIVE new cases today. They're all from overseas and caught in quarantine, and the number is back up to thirteen. Yeeks.

I hate it when the total cases are in double figures. Yes, I am aware that other nations have it worse than us, but still. This pairs well with the news that the UK variant of the plague has come to Adelaide.

Brief reprise of Huzzah, We're All Going to Die by Morons...

I have unfuckening PLN'd and Patreon stuff to post as well as the usual story du jour. Today's Patrons will see a preview of my entry to Tale Foundry's weekly challenge. 350 words on a theme and I think the trick is stir in dragons.

My $5 Patrons will know what I'm talking about.

In the headlines:

  • Plague still rife in Sydney
  • Media turns against Muppet
  • Man stabbed by mum slapped with restraining order
  • New hotspots for plague in NSW
  • This summer set to be wet
  • Muppet finally signs approval to $600 stimulus cheques for all
  • USA resident in Melbourne confused by the local dialect makes YouTube video about it
  • Australia's vaccine plan includes making sure everyone in the nation can get a shot, and that said shot is safe for kids and pregnant people
  • Ivanka Trump set to move into an Island Bunker for Billionaires
  • Big Woolies has super sale on vacuum cleaners and everyone's stoked about that, apparently

In personal news, I'm thinking about adding, Gender-bending Tumblrina who writes LGBTIAQ propaganda to my Tungl profile. I'm weighing the pros and cons. I shall ask my voice of reason when Beloved wakes up.

Let's get onto that Patreon stuff.

Monday, Day One, a breather

The grand post-crimbolio unfuckening is happening tomorrow. This means that I'll be arranging all of that and mixing in Patreon stuff as well.

Fun.

I may have to throw out food. Not my favourite thing. The rest of the family is not a fan of sweet things and the sweet things are going off.

Sigh.

I'm going to write an Instant. I may post some Patreon nonsense early. I don't know. I'll see how I feel about things when I get there.

Saturday, Day Zero, Nonsense

Two new cases today, taking the total cases up to twelve, today. I did not check the totals yesterday, hence the difference.

I'm still not going near the headlines without a 40' barge pole. It's bound to be crabonkers out there. 'Tis the season.

Today, at a later hour, I shall be driving MeMum back to her humble abode. An event which poor Jolie is looking forward to because she hates it when strangers are in the house. Poor little fuzzball's terrified

Thursday, Day Zero, PLN'ng

So here's the agenda:

  1. Unfuck the house
  2. Fetch MeMum

Somewhere in there, I get to:

  1. Write my instant.

This is placed in order of importance. Whether today's story appears sometime before nightfall or soon-to-now.

Muppet now has a tinfoil-hat level conspiracy theorist arguing voter fraud in court. I wonder where I can livestream the judges laughing at this. He's going to keep on going, ISTG... "save your MAGA hats, the Muppet will rise again" etc. Bleurgh.

Let's see what I can do

Tuesday, Day Zero, Patreon

Queensland's closed its borders again because -join the chorus- entitled visitors from overseas have skipped past quarantine protocols and caused yet another outbreak down south.

One new case. Ten active cases. At least the potential for Karens is sinking.

Sigh.

There's mutation in Europe that has OF COURSE made its way to the USA because there's no such thing as safety protocols in the States. We may need a second vaccine. We may need a series of vaccines. For all we know

Sunday, Day One, PLNs

Toasty did some lovely work towards their planned fid Days which is allegedly lower effort than Lion. Allegedly. I swear they spent twenty minutes figuring out gradients for one frame. Much distraction was had and given by all.

It happens that way sometimes.

Sometimes, you need to faff about to get a great idea. Sometimes, you just need to chill. This morning was one of those times for Toasty. It may be one of those mornings for me. I can't tell from

Friday, Day Zero, No Bread

I have yet to feed my Starters. I have yet to unfuck the house. I have yet to not be distracted by nonsense enough to get on with the everyday.

So... typical for me.

When I'm done with this blog entry, I'll feed the Starters and get going on The Bikkie. Then I'll get going on the Instant. Which may or may not be interrupted by unfuckening.

There's fifteen active cases in Queensland. The number is going steadily down. Yay.

I have

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

Saturday, Day Zero, Crimbolio Madness

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

Wednesday, Day 2, Wordpress

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

Sunday, Day Zero, Day of Rest

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

Saturday, Day Three, Shopping!

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

Friday, Day Two, whoopsydoodle

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

Wednesday, Day Zero, Wordpress

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.
