Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (196/101)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on "raising the 3rd rod" bit.  Getting close.  Fixed the dome bit.

In the interim - because of the Yes, spent a lot of time sleeping but managed a walk.

Overall - hoping tonight's Yes won't disrupt tomorrow too much.  Need a shave.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (195/101)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - finished the "outside the dome" bit, now to shift to the third rod.  Working on that.  Then, to realms unknown.

In the interim - spent most of the day resting or sleeping, but managed a nice walk.

Overall - NOW here comes the weekend.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (194/101)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - not much.  Updated the Boris software bits, no idea the updates were free.  Boris needs better marketing.

In the interim - long walk, slept a lot.  Really tempted for a Yes.

Overall - here comes the weekend.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (194/100)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - not much.  Started thinking about the new dome scene.

In the interim - slept most of the day, thanks to last night's Yes.  

Overall - almost got another Yes but fought it.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (194/99)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the morning door part.  So far looks good.

In the interim - work on the plumbing started around 7 (ouch) and some time during my walk, my bathroom got semi-watered from upstairs.  In the meantime, deposited the check, voted, made dental appointment.  Also found and installed the monitor for the RAID box.  Hope these successes don't lead to a Yes.

Overall - and it seems they did.  Well, damn.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (193/99)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the last bit of the "next morning" bit.

In the interim - noisy work in the laundry room at 9 AM.  Cat in a panic.  Because of that, I didn't do any of the errands I wanted to, but not a big deal.  Went on a nice long walk.

Overall - glad to get another No.  No yearning this time.  Sounds good...we'll see.

See you tomorrow.

October 18, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (193/98)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on more bits of the end of the day.  Quite a bit done.

In the interim - very sick thanks to the Yes.  Barely left the couch, but did manage a couple of miles.  Great phone call as always.

Overall - the Yes was super tempting, thank goodness we got a No.  

See you tomorrow.
