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.

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.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (193/97)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - finishing up the last parts of "End of day."  Next, see if the dream bit will still work.

In the interim - managed a walk but felt tired the whole time.  Not looking forward to tomorrow.

Overall - damn it about the Yes.  When will I learn?  How can I learn?

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (192/97)

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (192/96)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - so, had a thought: instead of trying to reverse-engineer the cabinet Flash file (which was going nowhere), why not reverse the video clip?  That seems to work well and was a lot quicker.  Did a bunch of work to try and complete that section.  Nice to be able to reuse some stuff.

In the interim - watched a disk (Doctor Who) without alcohol.  Then brought in alcohol and watched stupid sex films.  

Overall - we'll see what the Yes means tomorrow.  Honestly hope it's more illness.  Gotta kick this thing.

See you tomorrow.

October 14, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (191/96)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - finished the face repair, working to see if I can reverse the earlier cabinet scene.

In the interim - managed a walk, though low level ill again.  Didn't eat much.  Cat not eating much either.  Watched some interesting videos about mental states.

Overall - nice to wake up sober, though I didn't sleep well.  Two Nos in a row.  Been a while since that happened.

See you tomorrow.

October 13, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (191/95)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing really.

In the interim - too ill to leave the house.

Overall - tired, ill, uncomfortable.  To ill to get a Yes, so there's that.

See you tomorrow.
