Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (201/106)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on animation for the last section, the "outer worlds" bit.

In the interim - slept and/or rested most of the day.  Dogs upstairs kept barking and howling for hours.  Went on a late walk.  Felt mostly lousy so I don't know where that Yes came from.  Maybe the elections.

Overall - I've had worse days, but not by much.

See you tomorrow.

In the interim - slept OK, weird dreams.  Got a haircut, and paid more bills.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (199/106)

Creative work - working on the new sky.  Some animation, looks nice.

In the interim - DST always throws me, today no exception.  Got the Sunday stuff done and managed a long walk.  Rainy and wet.  Paid almost all the month's bills.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (199/105)

Creative work - backup day.  Goes a lot faster on new PC and new version of WinMerge, which only copies new/changed files rather than entire directories.  Worked on the skies for the next sequence.

In the interim - sick of course.  Most of the day wasted.  Didn't really leave the house.

Overall - very depressed, but at least got a No.

See you tomorrow.

Overall - could have been worse.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.
