The wood is split and the (surprise!potential) COVID exposure minimal at worst, exposure existing at all thanks to the idiocy of one parent too in the thrall of their own suburban McMansion survivalist "parental rights" (to turn their children into vectors for disease) horseshit to consider the ramifications of said suburban McMansion survivalist horseshit but – fortunately – three of the four splitters of the wood were jabbed and boosted and those that weren't were masked (the fourth being the unfortunate victim of said "parental rights" horseshit – cue random aside, perhaps: the propensity of those who pledge their flag-waving allegiance/fealty to "personal responsibility" and the mythology of their own vast and powerful stores of experience, Facebook-knowledge, and wisdom to always blame others for the problems created by their own horseshit never ceases to amaze me) and splitting said wood on the other side of the large yard because, as I've come to learn over my decade of being around a large family and wishing I were anywhere but but nonetheless liking each of them individually (save one or two who just outright suck), a chainsaw and an antisocial, standoffish attitude is as useful as a kitchen knife to ensure proper social distancing both indoors and out-.
In other news, Kirby is flipping out over the time change and the subsequent delay in his nom-noms.

Back into the rhythm with MainFicThing after a week away and a disastrous return yesterday. Reached the organizing /wrangling stage – too early perhaps – but things are coming together: figuring out what it needs, what it wants from me. At least for today. MainFicThing is, like all FicThings or AnyThings, fickle until the bitter end.
Still working with Muse, trying to replicate the text vanishing bug: shows how much I love this app that I'm willing to lose material to make it work in the longterm. Working in it is so different; it is working in a way that is OF the iPad... one I had hoped to find, didn't realize I was looking for. Still, have to get the text vanishing worked out – but I've started making my own backups of the day's main work, so that helps add a bit of mental security.
(Still can’t add links via iPadOS app, Squarespace…)
Blood sugar fix seems to have helped. Continuing green trends – hopefully without yesterday's pre-run crash, first in five years. And so the games continue. Dogchildren sustenance then back to work; the day - of chainsaws – awaits.
