 Drinking (Yes/No) No (99/73)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - drew the various front views of the droids, and imported them.  Started work on the dome interior.

In the interim - removed the drives from the Beelink, and it booted into a normal Windows setup...which froze at the "choose PIN" step.  For several hours, until I stopped it.  Went for the long walk, and has Asia Cafe's kung pao chicken.  Quite good, though a lot.  Update: got the Beelink set up with Windows, finally.  Now doing updates, which will probably break it...

Overall - tired a lot, though not ill, thankfully.  The idea that I keep yessing because of boredom seems to have merit.  Glad to get two Nos in a row.  Maybe that's the way to keep the goal reasonable...two day stretches.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (99/72)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work -  imported the grapplers into the project and converted them, but did not animate them.  Extended the frame count and moved all the borders.  Then, nothing else.

In the interim - got the earbuds to work, sort of.  Seem to be mono only?

Overall - ill and tired all day, managed a long walk.  Glad to get a No.

See you tomorrow.

June 19, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (99/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the grappler rear-views.

In the interim - got the ColorGuard thing mailed off.  Bought a remote from Best Buy which worked with the TV--yay!  Went on a long walk, but barely ate anything.

Overall - ill and tired most of the day, probably the same story tomorrow.  Depressing.

See you tomorrow.

June 18, 2026 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (98/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - futzed around with the dome rising scene.  

In the interim - testing the drone, was able to get connected through the phone and the iPad.  The control pad makes the drone beep, so I guess that means they're talking.  No actual flights yet.  Also, managed to collect the ColorGuard specimen.  That is an incredibly uncomfortable experience.

Overall - ill and tired all day, barely left the house, but still got a Yes.  Hope dims.

See you tomorrow.

June 17, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (97/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some shadow work on the rising dome.  Making droplets.  Adding the waves and droplets and it looks pretty good.  

In the interim - sick in the morning, and expecting to be sick tomorrow.  Actually ate (at Subway).  Again, tired all day, though that seems to be no matter whether Yes or No.

Overall - oh boy.  Here we go again.

See you tomorrow.

June 16, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (96/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the "splash" bits.

In the interim - mailed the check to continue the dental benefits.  Got the replacement drivers license today; not at all irked that I could have used it earlier.  Really, not being sarcastic.  It's nice to have paperwork in order.  Got a Yes anyway.

Overall - slept a lot, brief walk, slept some more, barely ate.  No caffeine today for some reason.

See you tomorrow.

June 15, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (95/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - quite a bit of work on the dome rising.  Easier than I thought.  A couple of tweaks and maybe an overhead shot would work well.  Worked on some water effects images.

In the interim - well, my printer printed a test page last night, and apparently that was the last gasp.  Took Benefits stuff to OfficeMax and they printed them.  Also, managed to get Medicare added to my login.gov ID.  What a massive process.  Submitted the Medicare D application.  Tomorrow I'll mail the COBRA letter.

Overall - still lots tired, but otherwise it's nice to have a productive day.  Went to Qdoba for the first time in a while; still very good.

See you tomorrow.
