Drinking (Yes/No) No (60/50)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some animation, mostly on a "turning" scene.

In the interim - not much sleep last night, thanks to cat and dreams.

Overall - felt like a weight had been lifted.  I think I was having panic/anxiety issues over going to a crowded public event, and now that it's done I feel better.  Still depressed though.

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) No (60/49)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - nothing.

In the interim - saw Star Trek II with William Shatner on stage.  A fun evening.

Overall - almost panic attack over driving downtown.  Glad I did it though.  Only reason for the No is all the stores are closed.

See you tomorrow.

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.

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.
