Drinking (Yes/No) No (133/88)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - lots of sound work.  Still more to go.

In the interim - almost phone call, but we were both not up for it.  Did nothing all day.  But at least I finally got a No.

Overall - let's see how this week goes.

See you tomorrow.

August 8, 2026 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (133/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - some interesting work on part 3.  And a lot of soundtrack work on part 2.  Not sure why sound work disturbs and distresses me.  It does, though.

In the interim - lots of sleeping, long walk.  Bought some earbuds with ear arms.  Haven't set them up yet.

Overall - I was hoping for a No but them's the breaks.

See you tomorrow.

August 7, 2026 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (132/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on the screen bits. Lots of sound work on part 2.  Why does audio work bring me so down?

In the interim - tired, ill, depressed.  Determined not to drink, but got a Yes anyway.

Overall - very worried about the future.  Mine.

See you tomorrow.

August 6, 2026 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (131/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - worked on the "numbers" screen for part 3.  Got the environment stuff settled for part 2 and closed up some sound effects bits.

In the interim - long walk.  Otherwise nothing.  Slept a lot.  Got another Yes.

Overall - weekend coming.  So what.

See you tomorrow.

August 5, 2026 (Wednesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (130/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - worked on the "letter animation" for part 3.  Also some sound work on part 2, got quite a lot done, actually.

In the interim - had a long walk, but otherwise didn't leave the house and slept a lot, while being tired, miserable and depressed.  Probably the same tomorrow, see the Yes above.

Overall - what in the Hell.

See you tomorrow.

August 4, 2026 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (129/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - lots of work on the audio--which went smoother than I expected.  Got the space and the air done, and a bunch of water bits as well.  Mostly long stretches with nothing specific to events, but hey I'll take it.

In the interim - as expected, slept most of the day.  Finally moved the cushions to the new shoes and had a short walk.  

Overall - need to get out of this run.

See you tomorrow.

August 3, 2026 (Monday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (128/87)

Paid work - Retired.

Creative work - working on getting the video bit into shape.  Vegas 2026 disappoints for the most part...again.  Fixed some bits.

In the interim - got the tire issue seen to, professionally (more than I hoped, less than I feared).  Picked up the glasses and some groceries.  

Overall - got stuff done but still drank.  Not expecting anything tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.
