Wordpress Wednesday

A 146-post collection

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague News: Six new cases - two local and four imports. Forty-one total active cases, twenty-one in hospital and two in the ICU.

There's more of my terrible Tiefling lad to share on Wordpress and I'm gradually building up a bunch of stuff to rant about. Some of which I may actually write down at some point in my future.

My poor mum is dealing with Phone Issues. Calling it now - 98% chance she's hit a wrong button somewhere and accidentally initiated something she does not want. I did what I could to help remotely, but her options for actual real help are (1) rentageek or (2) Get tutorials at the Telstra Shop.

Good luck and godspeed on that one.

In the news:

  • Victoria has Mystery Cases. If I was them, I'd just arrest anyone with the fake check-in app
  • Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has passed on
  • NSW deciding on easing restrictions "shortly" despite having hundreds of cases and loads of Knomiras causing havoc on purpose
  • ScoMo up to his usual antisocial bullshit
  • Plague causes house prices to drop
  • Taliban prevents Afghanistan people from running away from them
  • Muppet now calling fleeing Afghanistanis 'terrorists'. Stay classy
  • TIL Prince has perished
  • Fox news slams Australia's safety measures
  • Aussies have made $30K from Crypto

Beloved has PLNs to install a door or two and I have PLNs to acquire a proper garment bag for delicate laundries.

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Two new cases, one of each. One hundred and ten total active cases, twenty-eight in hospital and one in the ICU.

There's going to be Leyland's Tour Shenanigans this Saturday. Important family stuff. Reveals afterwards, but please don't pre-emptively panic.

More of my terrible Tiefling lad for you on my Wordpress, and I have paperwork to deal with after that. Miss Chaos needs her red tape spooled.

And I have a board to build for my D&D game,

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress and Mountains

Plague news: Three new cases, all local. One hundred and Fifty-five total active cases, Sixty-three in hospital and one's in the ICU.

Beloved conquered a mountain this morning. Not the physical kind, the mental and emotional variety. My love and support has mattered the most and there was an emotional blowout. Love and support is one hell of a drug.

It's their thing to share with the world at their own speed.

Mountains are hell. Most of the metaphorical mountains are stress.

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague News: Day four of the three-day lockdown. We're extended to Sunday. Sixteen new cases, all local. Eighty two total active cases, forty-seven are in hospital and one in the ICU.

Desire to stay at home and order in my nonsense increases. Not that we're in danger of running out of a lot just yet. I'll have to see if my usual bargain haunts do delivery. Just in case.

Stupid plague.

On one hand, I want to rant about some things, on

Wednesday, Day 1, Wordpress

Plague news: No new cases. Twenty-five total active cases, twenty-five in hospital, and one in the ICU.

I'm booked to get my Pfizer shots in September. Huzzah. After I'm over that nonsense, I'll sync Chaos' shots with the holidays so she can be miserable at home with them... and discuss things with Mayhem about his. Beloved is apparently getting their shots at work. I don't know the time window there.

Oofdah.

More Terrible Tiefling Tale is due on my Wordpress and I

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Three new cases, one local, two imports. Thirty-six total, thirty-one in hospital, two in the ICU.

Today, there shall be more Terrible Tiefling Tale for you. More frenetic writing for me. And somewhere in the middle of that, I will be building a mountainside, tagging a month's worth of fiction, and maybe doing something fun instead of turning my brain off for the afternoon.

In the news:

  • Plague in the Olympics
  • More heartbreak from the removalists' family
  • Amazon billionaire arsehole

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Three new cases, two local and one import. Dang. Forty-five local cases of which forty-one are in hospital... and one's in the ICU.

Scary beans.

More Tiefling tale will be appearing in Wordpress, in which I continue to depart from the plot to fill out some interesting aspects of learning things under the very prejudiced Master Bai.

Mostly things that Bai wished he wouldn't pick up so readily. Like being a cynical and paranoid pain in the bum.

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress and teeth

Plague news: six new cases, one local. Five imports. Forty-nine total, with forty in hospital.

There's a fresh new story coming out soon. And sometime after that, I will be going on Wordpress for that weekly nonsense.

Later this morning, I'm getting some teeth drilled and filled. I will not be a happy camper until the swelling goes down.

But for now, the news:

  • Delta strain sails by extant vaccines
  • Some idiot punched a cart horse
  • Schools to stay closed in NSW

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: four new cases, two of each import and local transmission. Forty-one total cases and all of them are in hospital. We're in day one of a three-day lockdown. Thanks, Knomiras.

Straight after I post here, I'm going to stream the creation of another flash fiction. Link in the list from the hamburger.

In the news:

  • Delta hits the headlines in relation to Queensland
  • Former Disney star did a racy photoshoot and now people are slamming him for it
  • Lockdown shenanigans

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: 1 local, two imports. Thirty-five total with twenty-seven in hospital. Once again, the local transmission is a quarantine worker who assumed they were safe and let the protocols slip. Whoops.

The vax only protects YOU. It does not stop transmission because this shit can hang out on surfaces for a day or more. Wash your fucking hands, wear your gotdang mask, and know where your hand sanitiser is.

...and vaccinate your fucking kids...

Plague news: two new cases, both imports. Twenty-one cases total, eighteen in hospital. Aaaaannnnd MeMum is getting The Jab today.

Therefore, I am on call in case things go pants.

Whee. Fun.

Today's Wordpress is going to be more of my Terrible Tiefling. I don't have to think too hard for that. Yay.

  • Miley Cyrus strips on Instagram
  • Writer euthenises her "pandemic dog" after owning it for

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress Continueth

Plague news: One new case, an import. Twelve active, with eleven in hospital.

Today... I get to chill, but only after I've been to the dentist, because I've been pushed up to have a thing going on today. Also, there's an APM meeting this afternoon.

Somewhere in the labyrinthine expanses of today's hours, I am going to attempt to program in a tag part of the app.

The things I do to myself.

Including: Someone's waved a shiny idea at me over

Wednesday, Day 2, GOOOOOO!!!!

Plague news: No new cases, thirteen active ones that are all in hospital.

The last stage of Fixit Day is happening this morning when the cabinet guy comes around to make sure everything is sealed to heck and back. But otherwise we have a functioning bathroom vanity. Huzzah.

I didn't have the wherewithall to code anything yesterday because tradies in my house. At least I got the Patreon nonsense done. And the Instant. And my 500 words. Output successful.

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress Once More

Two new cases, both imports. Sixteen total cases, twelve in hospital. I've got more of my Tiefling's story to share and more JavaScript to learn. And more novel to write, and another instant for your continued entertainment.

I'm back on the vegemite soup because I apparently need niacin. I also need to remember to keep the humidifier filled or I'll have a bad air day the next morning.

In the news:

  • Map of a sports stadium shows who could have been infected

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Two new cases, both imports. Fourteen total cases, twelve in hospital.

There's a PBL meeting in which I shall share again the immense document I put together about what to find, where to find it, and how much it is when you get it there. Which means I shall need heinous amounts of caffeine because I have come over with Super Tired today -_-

I got a decent night's sleep. I don't get it. Maybe it's depression. Maybe it's Maybeline.
