Drinking (Yes/No) No (99/74)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - decided to make a huge version of the dome interior.  Getting some good detail work.

In the interim - and of course, Windows update broke the Beelink.  No way to undo it, it seems.  Downloading the ISO and repair tool for one last chance.  If I can't get it working tomorrow, hello TrueNas.  Created the boot USB and will try later.   Fired up the new desktop, created a local admin account and a restore point.

Overall - again tired a lot.  Cat more annoying than usual for some reason.

See you tomorrow.

 Drinking (Yes/No) No (99/73)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - drew the various front views of the droids, and imported them.  Started work on the dome interior.

In the interim - removed the drives from the Beelink, and it booted into a normal Windows setup...which froze at the "choose PIN" step.  For several hours, until I stopped it.  Went for the long walk, and has Asia Cafe's kung pao chicken.  Quite good, though a lot.  Update: got the Beelink set up with Windows, finally.  Now doing updates, which will probably break it...

Overall - tired a lot, though not ill, thankfully.  The idea that I keep yessing because of boredom seems to have merit.  Glad to get two Nos in a row.  Maybe that's the way to keep the goal reasonable...two day stretches.

See you tomorrow.

June 20, 2026 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (99/72)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work -  imported the grapplers into the project and converted them, but did not animate them.  Extended the frame count and moved all the borders.  Then, nothing else.

In the interim - got the earbuds to work, sort of.  Seem to be mono only?

Overall - ill and tired all day, managed a long walk.  Glad to get a No.

See you tomorrow.

June 19, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (99/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the grappler rear-views.

In the interim - got the ColorGuard thing mailed off.  Bought a remote from Best Buy which worked with the TV--yay!  Went on a long walk, but barely ate anything.

Overall - ill and tired most of the day, probably the same story tomorrow.  Depressing.

See you tomorrow.

June 18, 2026 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (98/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - futzed around with the dome rising scene.  

In the interim - testing the drone, was able to get connected through the phone and the iPad.  The control pad makes the drone beep, so I guess that means they're talking.  No actual flights yet.  Also, managed to collect the ColorGuard specimen.  That is an incredibly uncomfortable experience.

Overall - ill and tired all day, barely left the house, but still got a Yes.  Hope dims.

See you tomorrow.

June 17, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (97/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some shadow work on the rising dome.  Making droplets.  Adding the waves and droplets and it looks pretty good.  

In the interim - sick in the morning, and expecting to be sick tomorrow.  Actually ate (at Subway).  Again, tired all day, though that seems to be no matter whether Yes or No.

Overall - oh boy.  Here we go again.

See you tomorrow.

June 16, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (96/71)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the "splash" bits.

In the interim - mailed the check to continue the dental benefits.  Got the replacement drivers license today; not at all irked that I could have used it earlier.  Really, not being sarcastic.  It's nice to have paperwork in order.  Got a Yes anyway.

Overall - slept a lot, brief walk, slept some more, barely ate.  No caffeine today for some reason.

See you tomorrow.
