Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (125/86)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - cut out the alarm screen, imported into Vegas and trimmed accordingly.  Put the rest of the console scene under a new project name and created one for the non-angled screen.  I'd been worried that the console scene was too long, and it was when the two parts were together.  Now that they're separate they work well.

In the interim - doctor's visit went well, health signs are good.  Made an eye doctor appointment for 3, and a car appointment for Monday at 9.  Update: eye appointment went well, expensive but worth it.  Still tired a lot.

Overall - why the Yes.  Can I get through three days?

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (125/85)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nice work on the console, coming right along.

In the interim - got the oil changed, asked about the message on the car screen.  Valvoline thinks a tire place can take care of it.  Went on a long walk, not too hot today.

Overall - mostly tired, did a lot of resting.  Very glad to get a No without anger.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (125/84)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - bit of work on the console screen.  Mostly irritating.

In the interim - short walk, weather hot and muggy.  Otherwise did nothing.

Overall - angry and depressed and miserable all day, but was still tempted to get a Yes.  Glad I didn't.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (125/83)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some good work on the console stuff.

In the interim - barely left the house.  Went for a short walk.  Angry and depressed all day.

Overall - and another bad day.  Damn it, need to fix this.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (124/83)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - worked on the console a bit.  Then a lot more.  Getting there, I hope.

In the interim - great phone call as always.  Otherwise mostly a wasted day.  Very hot, but managed the Sunday stuff and got the "mail."

Overall - hardly worth talking about.  A wasted day with illness and tiredness.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (123/83)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - transition done and it looks great.  Searching for the alarm console so I can close this stuff.  Difficult search.  But finally found the originals had have been doing some work on them.

In the interim - tired and depressed all day, though not as sick as I feared.  Still a bad day.

Overall - as mentioned, a bad day overall.  Bought too many DVDs.

See you tomorrow.

July 24, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (122/83)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the transition stuff.  And a bit of cutting.  Combined the worker pan with the opening of the ship animation...we'll see if that works.  Started researching the console from part 2, difficult to find for some reason.

In the interim - as expected, felt miserable and depressed all day.  Hello Yes.

Overall - not sure what to say here.  

See you tomorrow.
