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.

October 20, 2026 (Tuesday)

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.

October 19, 2026 (Monday)

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.

October 17, 2026 (Saturday)

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.

October 16, 2026 (Friday)

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

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing.

In the interim - as expected, ill all day.  Didn't leave the house.

Overall - maybe the lesson will stick for a while.

See you tomorrow.

October 15, 2026 (Thursday)

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.
