Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (62/50)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing much.

In the interim - ill most of the day.

Overall - ill but still drank.  Sounds like my epitaph.

See you tomorrow.

April 21, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (61/50)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some attempts at fixing the missing gradient.  Vegas 23 is terrible, and Vegas 26 seems to be a no go.  Getting some work done but it is slow.

In the interim - felt OK today, so not sure why the Yes came about.  

Overall - other than the Yes, could use a few more days like this.

See you tomorrow.

April 20, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (60/50)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some animation, mostly on a "turning" scene.

In the interim - not much sleep last night, thanks to cat and dreams.

Overall - felt like a weight had been lifted.  I think I was having panic/anxiety issues over going to a crowded public event, and now that it's done I feel better.  Still depressed though.

See you tomorrow.

April 19, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (60/49)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing.

In the interim - saw Star Trek II with William Shatner on stage.  A fun evening.

Overall - almost panic attack over driving downtown.  Glad I did it though.  Only reason for the No is all the stores are closed.

See you tomorrow.

April 18, 2026 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (60/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - created new Vegas project with the rendered video.  Did some work on animating the "insert rod" bit.  Getting there.

In the interim - I'm so tired of drinking.  Seeing William Shatner tomorrow, and I don't know why that frightens me.  And more drunken Twitter comments.

Overall - very down and tired today.  

See you tomorrow.

April 17, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (59/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some work on the "rod insertion" bit.

In the interim - ill in the morning, tired all day, barely ate.  What a life.

Overall - well, that was a Friday.  Nice lady at Wal-Mart pharmacy.  

See you tomorrow.

April 16, 2026 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (58/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the hands and the prop.

In the interim - paid a couple of bills.  Drove out to Turkey Creek and the car performed flawlessly.  

Overall - so, ten days between No and Yes.  At least I wasn't ill this morning, just exhausted all day.

See you tomorrow.
