"Fixing to" is a staple in my neck of the woods. "I'm fixing to go to the mall." In the southern USA the term means "I'm getting ready to go to the mall."
Fixing is a well worn word.
Fixing: The vet was "fixing" their dog. (neutering)
Fixing: The plumber was "fixing" the sinking. (repairing)
Fixing: She was "fixing" her gaze on him. (attaching)
Fixing: She was "fixing" the date. (setting)
Fixing: He was arrested for "fixing" the game. (influencing illegally)
There are others but I'm fixing to stop for now.
