Drinking (Yes/No) No (22/25)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - had the idea for the truck vehicles last night, and started working on them pretty early in the day.  Looks good so far.

In the interim - had a huge urge for a Yes around 9, somehow was able to resist.  A bit worrisome.

Overall - got very little sleep last night, felt tired and weak all day.  Managed to go for a brief walk late in the afternoon.

See you tomorrow.

Creative work - finished the lakeside animation, then started and completed the "forest path" clip.  Then remembered I left something out of the lakeside and fixed that.  Going through foliage pictures for the next scene.
