Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (121/81)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - more work on what I hope will be the last shot of this sequence.  Still have to finish the overseer part.  Before that, the pan into the sky.  Did some conversions and edited them into the project.  Then, got some good work on the sky pan.

In the interim - got no sleep at all last night.  Periodontist appointment went fine, for once the charge was reasonable (though more to come, I'm sure).  I'd thought about getting the oil changed after that, but I was far too exhausted.  Error message on car: Service - Tire Monitor System.  I assume that monitors the pressure in the tires.  Car drove OK with that message but I'll have to see what to do about it.  Long walk today.

Overall - not sure where that Yes came from.  Successful days seem to bring that on.  Why?

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (120/81)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - animating the alarm bits and putting them into Vegas.  Some good work on a day I didn't think would have any.

In the interim - very angry and depressed today.  Didn't leave the house.  Barely left the sofa.

Overall - terrible day, one of the worst.  Hope that helps bring more Nos.

See you tomorrow.

July 21, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (120/82)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some animation work, and some good ideas for wrapping up Part 2.

In the interim - dentist visit went well, they gave me a kind of retainer.  I was able to sleep really well during the day using it, very comfortable.  Weather decent, nice long walk.

Overall - that Yes really jumped on me.  Good thing nothing scheduled for tomorrow, other than the Wacom bit.  Thursday will be the periodontist.  

See you tomorrow.

Creative work - drew the faces for the doll and set them in an environment.  Stuff getting done.  Drew a "middle" face and started animation.

In the interim - went to Sam's and they had Dr. Pepper.  Yay.  Very hot, only went for a short walk.

Overall - lots of sleeping as usual.  Tomorrow dental appointment.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (119/80)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - quite a bit of animation.  Rendered the "so far" stuff for a new project.

In the interim - didn't do much today, mostly tired and low level ill.  Bought shorts, as the Wranglers were getting too torn.

Overall - well, that was Saturday.  On to Sunday.

See you tomorrow.

July 17, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (118/80)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some nice work on the finale stuff.  (I hope it's the finale.)

In the interim - moved all the paintings (temporarily) out of the way and started on the bookcase...and finished that.  Moved all the paintings back so they are finally out of the way.  All this put the cat into a mood.  Got the mail, otherwise didn't leave the house.

Overall - mostly a wasted day.

See you tomorrow.
