Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (112/77)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - work on the seminar's project...it was fun.  

In the interim - attended the first part of the Wacom seminar...this seems very basic.  It's well done but I think I'm past this stage.

Overall - Oops!  Late again.  As for today...lots of sleeping, not a lot of eating.  Very, very depressed.

See you tomorrow.

July 7, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (111/77)

See you tomorrow.

July 6, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (110/77)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some thoughts on the last few bits of Part Two, and working on the sideways droid.

In the interim - went for a nice walk, bought milk, not sure why I bought beer but I did.

See you tomorrow.

July 5th, 2026 (Sunday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (109/77)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - not much, some minor bits.

In the interim - as expected, very tired all day.  Managed to do all the Sunday stuff and went for a brief walk (to B&N).  Cat seems to constantly need affection while giving none.

Overall - I've had worse I guess.  Got a No which made me angry--I guess after a binge it makes sense.

See you tomorrow.

July 4, 2026 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (109/76)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - finished up the two bits I had ideas for.  Looks good.  So, now on to the details.  Work on the details, including timing, lighting and various sundry bits.  What we have so far looks really good.  Now, on to the stuff we don't have....

In the interim - Happy 250th USA!  Greatest nation in the history of the world.

Overall - a typical Saturday, slept a lot, walked a bit, drank (of course).  Finally got the Beelink think up and going, looks like it might work.

See you tomorrow.
