Friday, Bread Day, Day Zero

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 being love hungry all over my desk an I am typing with my left hand so she can have the scritchies she deserves.

I have a cyclone headache and the over-the-counter painkillers haven't kicked in yet. Ow.

In the news:

  • Muppet's secretary of defence dismissal points to alarming plns in motion
  • Law professor apparently predicted all these shenanigans a year ago
  • Op Ed says we should try viral kindness nowadays since we need it more
  • Aussie war crimes investigation set to reveal some disturbing things. In other news, water is wet
  • Biden wears two masks because masks are twice as important for everyone
  • Dissection of how Democracy in the USA isn't
  • Biden plans to make mask-wearing mandatory, some states plot revolution
  • QAnon apparently believes that the Muppet is secretly saving the world from a satanic cult of paedophiles (!) and apparently "Q" has not been posting for some time
  • Muppet refuses to disavow QAnon conspiracies
  • "Tiny" Tina Arena selling home for $7M so she can move to France
  • Aussie's "Ginger Nut" bikkies differ depending on the state you buy them in
  • Dude attempts to film woman getting undressed in changing room at Macey's
  • In the same article, home security is not that fantastic, actually
  • According to Netflix drama series The Crown, the Queen has two cousins who've been in an assylum for years because learning disorders
  • QLD hospital worker finds dead rat in their burger
  • Woolies questioned over the Ooshies issue

So far today, I have:

  • Made the Bikkie with the last of my useful olives
  • Fed both my starters with a PLN for bread
  • Measured out flour and water
  • Unfucked the house
  • Fed the cats
  • Took my coffee and meds, but the painkillers didn't work

Onwards to storytime RSN I promise.

Thursday - Day Zero

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

Friday - Day One and Bread

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

Thursday - Day Zero - Even Mor Shenanigans

Two more cases. Overseas. Quarantine. Yet more for the One Arsehole Theory. I feel like yelling at visitors from overseas. You're infected. Rack off.

Ugh. I'm not normally this uncharitable. This is what the plague has done to me. I swear I'm not xenophobic, I just don't want an outbreak happening in my area.

The Muppet is continuing shenanigans by blocking the counting of early and postal votes before election night and then insisting that they're all tallied afterwards. Which he's going

Monday - Day Zero

Another singular case from overseas and detected in quarantine. Another reset of my paranoia because of the One Arsehole Theory. Today's agenda calls for House Unfuckening plus Driving Mr Mayhem with a dash of writing on the side.

Yes, folks, Mayhem is actually doing something to... Get a JOB. The skies may bleed. Be warned.

We've cleaned the Maker Debris from the shed and now there is space for two cars only. So if hail cometh whilst the Tesla is away, I

Saturday - Day Zero

Another case from overseas, and discovered in quarantine. So I'll be voting later today with FULL mask and gloves nonsense. Beloved will also be wearing a mask and gloves, because of the One Arsehole Theory:

"It only takes one arsehole to shit all over everything," -- Me

Also the gloves make it so I can use any hand sanitiser present without burning my skin off. Alcohol allergy makes for fun times in the year of the plague.

In the News:

  • Sweden realises

Thursday - Day Zero

Two new cases from overseas and detected in quarantine. Augh. Including the five active cases, that's me practicing paranoia for a further fortnight because of the One Arsehole Theory.

According to some email, I might be getting my replacement flour today, so part of my day will be watching my phone for the all-important AusPost text telling me that something is in my parcel locker.

IF that parcel arrives today, I shall also use the opportunity to grab some extra cream from

Wednesday - Day Four

The Senate has confirmed a blatantly pro-life judge and "cruelty is the point" advocate for the supreme court, which is now 6-3 in favour of absolute evil. Two weeks before the election. They have all stated that they're going to let the Muppet do whatever he wants, throw out the postal votes, and ignore any tally that comes not-instantly after the polls close on the actual election day.

Fascism is real in America.

Today, rights formerly fought and won will erode.

I

Tuesday - Day Three

I have posted my Patreon nonsense - lots of Tiefling Tales today. I have a PLN to go out shopping for some things, but not all the things, and I have words to yet pour into my novel-in-progress as well as an Instant to write.

Yay.

There's an election upcoming and I don't know if we're early voting to avoid the crowds or going in person and me in mask. Because I won't go anywhere without my mask when all it takes

Sunday - Day One

I have to make Beloved cut my new loafs so we can wrap them and freeze them for the later on of great need. I have ordered new flour because we're almost out of the dang stuff.

Sourdough eats flour. Even keeping it alive at the rate of half a cup of flour a week gnaws away at the supplies. It took me a while to get through ten kilos, but it all goes away in the end.

I'm writing a story,

Thursday - Day Zero

One new case found and staying in Quarantine... BUT I stand by my "one arsehole" paranoia.

Today, I shall be recording images of ALL the paperwork related to Miss Chaos and sending them to the case manager. Our scanner is currently out of commission because the one compy it talks to is slowly dying. I'm not sure if we can get it to scan things any more.

Ugh.

Let's look at the headlines:

  • Queensland is building a new north-south highway
  • Muppet cuts

Wednesday - Day Four

I know what I'm doing with Wordpress Wednesday, and it's A Chapter Of... Not just a chapter of an unedited novel I have finished, but a chapter of a thing that I've written before and during the plague. A thing that, though it won't earn me a red cent [because Wizards of the Coast will probably sue me if I try lol], gave me immense joy to read and write in a very stressful time.

I would come back to it again

Monday - Day 2

So KIABIL was gifted a mud cake and I was gifted a RAINBOW CAKE. We swapped because each much preferred the other. MeMum got to talk her head off. We all got to get some social time which we were all starved for.

Good times.

I also got to see Capt. S's kittens, which have just opened their eyes and are about to become Bumper Car Kittens(tm).

Today, I am completely solo and have the daunting task of attempting to unfuck

Sunday! Day One

Shenanigans are afoot as the family are trekking out to Scenic Coominya. I'm also trucking MeMum there so I had to Very PLN for today.

Part of those PLNs will involve getting some sugar-free caffeine tubes for the trip. Whee.

MeMum is twice as paranoid as I am with this plague. I saw in the news that "covid particles" have been found in the sewer system. Given that this happened up North without an outbreak, I'd posit that this is a potential

Saturday - Day Zero

Two new cases in quarantine, and that's twice as much as yesterday and now I am having a concern. One arsehole... The more cases there are, the more potential there is for a Karen to arise and cause a massive outbreak because restrictions are easing. Ugh.

We almost got there. We almost had freedom within our grasp. We almost had a completely clean Queensland... and then some fuckers had to think they were above the rules. Repeatedly. ARGH.

I'm getting back into
