Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (60/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - created new Vegas project with the rendered video.  Did some work on animating the "insert rod" bit.  Getting there.

In the interim - I'm so tired of drinking.  Seeing William Shatner tomorrow, and I don't know why that frightens me.  And more drunken Twitter comments.

Overall - very down and tired today.  

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (59/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some work on the "rod insertion" bit.

In the interim - ill in the morning, tired all day, barely ate.  What a life.

Overall - well, that was a Friday.  Nice lady at Wal-Mart pharmacy.  

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (58/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the hands and the prop.

In the interim - paid a couple of bills.  Drove out to Turkey Creek and the car performed flawlessly.  

Overall - so, ten days between No and Yes.  At least I wasn't ill this morning, just exhausted all day.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (57/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some work on the "insert the rod" bit.  Got some good images.  

In the interim - went for a much longer walk than I'd anticipated.  It was fun though tiring.  Picked up an orange thing on the way...it was nothing, but there was no trash can for miles.  Almost kept it as a reminder against futility, but threw it away any way.

Overall - last of the paychecks; it was nice.  Also SSA though smaller than usual.  It's OK. 

See you tomorrow.

April 14, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (56/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some work on the cambug.

In the interim - nothing much today.  Very depressed.

Overall - as seen above, very depressed.  But not ill.  So there's that.

See you tomorrow.

April 13, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (55/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - started on the next bits.  Did some work on the sideways cambot.  Also watched the "film so far" and it looks good.

In the interim - it was a Monday.  Could have been worse.

Overall - again didn't feel ill today.

See you tomorrow.

April 12, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (54/48)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - finished the cambug "gag" bit and finished the internal view.  That should be everything up to now, with no need for "bridging" bits.  Rendered the current project to video to check on timing, etc.  And started on the insertion bit.

In the interim - paid some bills I didn't need to pay.

Overall - despite last night's Yes, I was not ill at all this morning.  Very odd.  And another Yes tonight.

See you tomorrow.
