Drinking (Yes/No) No (42/38)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing.  Shot some videos to see how water gets around objects.  Too uninspired otherwise.

In the interim - barely got out of bed.  Low level ill all day, and tired.

Overall -  glad to get a No.  Here's to more.

  

See you tomorrow.

March 20, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (42/37)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - added the shadows, and worked a bit on the camera bug.  Fixed the motion of the barges--they should be slow.  Worked on the water-on-dome bit.  Needs work still.

In the interim - ill and tired all day.  Not violently ill but the thought of eating is not appealing.

Overall -  everyday is like night.  The worst kind of night.

  

See you tomorrow.

March 19, 2026 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (41/37)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - added the grapple droid to the TV scene.  Looks good...except the highlights on the droid are coming from the wrong direction.  Oops!  I'll try to fix.  Later, I fixed the highlights and added a moving shadow.  Added the droids to the overhead shot, and am going to add shadows for them.  Converted the recent updated flash files to video, and will add them to Vegas.

In the interim - bought more underwear (the thrills).  Felt mostly lousy and tired again.  Not sure how to stop the Yesses.  

Overall - gotta stop the Yes somehow.  Not sure how.  

  

See you tomorrow.

March 18, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (40/37)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the new droid for a possible role in the TV scene.  Looks good, but I wish there was some way to figure this out earlier.  Added to an older animation.

In the interim - well, did the taxes for 2025.  While drinking.  Hope I don't go to prison!  Also never left the house except to get booze.  Sad, yes.

Overall - worst day for a while.

  

See you tomorrow.

March 17, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (39/37)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - the forest walk-through got too big to work well, so I created a second version with fewer elements.  And I went ahead and animated it--looks good.  Last night when falling asleep I thought of a missing element that might need to be put in earlier scenes, but damned if I can remember what it was now.  Later: remembered!  Have the TVs come on when the cables are plugged in.  Did so and it looks good.  Working the grappling droid.  Might have him hold an antenna.

In the interim - periodontist visit went OK, they found a small cavity.  I (finally) went to Dr. Honey's office and got signed up to have that fixed next Monday.  Seems like a good office.

Overall - Nice to get some stuff done, too bad about the Yes.

  

See you tomorrow.

March 16, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (38/37)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the airship(s).  Kind of fun.  Some good work on the trees for the motion scene.

In the interim - did a lot of sleeping.  Not looking forward to the dental appointment.  

Overall - very cold today--sleeting.  Tried to go for a walk but just too cold.  At least I got a No.

  

See you tomorrow.

March 15, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (38/36)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - not much.  Need to work on the trees sequence but just didn't feel like it.

In the interim - great phone call.  And did the usual Sunday stuff.

Overall - not too ill but very tired all day.  Glad to get a No, it was touch and go for a while.

  

See you tomorrow.
