Drinking - no.  And if ever a day invited it, it was today.

Paid work - some.  Not terrible, not great.

Creative work - nothing really.

Sorry this is late.  See you later today.

Aug 29, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - no.  I believe this is eleven.

Paid work - not much.

Creative work - nothing really.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 28, 2017 (Mon)

Drinking - no, for the tenth day in a row.  Definitely a record, I think.

Paid work - only a little.

Creative work - nothing.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 27, 2017 (Sun)

Drinking - no.  If this keeps up, I may have to stop using this category.  Ninth, if you're keeping track.

Paid work - nothing.

Creative work - a little bit of design work.  The Project keeps lengthening itself...oh well.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 26, 2017 (Sat)

Drinking - again, I felt tempted, probably more so than yesterday, but I was able to brush it off.  So that's eight "no"s in a row.  I'd be surprised if that happened earlier in the year.

Paid work - not really, the usual system maintenance stuff.

Creative work - last night I fired up the old computer and did some work on the Project.  Tonight, I worked on it a little bit.  So, yes, finally.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 25, 2017 (Fri)

Drinking - well, I was tempted sore, but I was able to resist without a lot of effort.  So that's seven "no"s in a row.

Paid work - a decent amount.

Creative work - nothing...at least nothing so far.  I still don't have the main PC set up and going, and I don't know why I'm hesitant.  There are things I want to do...

Anyway, see you tomorrow.

Aug 24, 2017 (Thurs)

Drinking - no.  Sixth time in a row.  I don't remember when that happened last, but it wasn't recent.  So some good has come of this.

Paid work - not as much as I'd have liked, but there it is.

Creative work - nothing.  Still loading and unpacking.  But I'm getting itchy so maybe something will happen.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 23, 2017 (Wed)

Drinking - no.  That makes five days in a row.  Felt a very, very slight temptation when I woke from a nap, but it was easily dispatched.

Paid work - quite a nice bit.

Creative work - nothing really.  More unpacking and transporting. 

See you tomorrow.

Aug 22, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - no.  Four days in a row is pretty impressive.  I feel a lot less...oppressed, maybe?  Under constant judgment?  Something has certainly changed, and not just my address.

Paid work - not a lot, but some. 

Creative work - nothing.  As before, still unboxing and transporting and finding to do much else.  I'm not worried--but it's going to take a while to set up the main computer.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 21, 2017 (Mon)

Drinking - no.  Third time in a row.  Who knows?

Paid work - some, not bad.

Creative work - nothing.  Still unboxing and moving and stuff in the new place.  Creative work will come.  I already feel as if a cloud has lifted.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 20, 2017 (Sun)

Drinking - no.  Two days in a row.

Paid work - none.

Creative work - none.

I guess I do have internet.  See you tomorrow!

Aug 19, 2017 (Sat)

Drinking - no.  That's right, no.

Paid work - none.

Creative work - none.

Spent the day moving, and won't have internet access until Monday the 21st.

See you  then.

Aug 18, 2017 (Fri)

Drinking - yes

Paid work - more than I expected

Creative work - some reviewing.

See you Monday (see next post)

Aug 17, 2017 (Thurs)

Drinking - of course

Paid work - a bunch, but frustrating for many reasons.

Creative work - again, a bunch, though it's all linking scenes.  Still--

See you tomorrow.

Aug 16, 2017 (Wed)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - a bunch, though mostly frustrating.

Creative work - some nice progress on the Project. 

See you tomorrow. 

Aug 15, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - yep.

Paid work - quite a lot, but mostly frustrating.

Creative work - a little bit.  Things proceed.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 14, 2917 (Mon)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - only a little.

Creative work - some good audio work.

See you later tonight.

Aug 13, 2017 (Sun)

Drinking - yep.

Paid work - frustrating stuff, but under yesterday's tally.

Creative work - yeah, some decent stuff...adding to the overall length.  Unlike Joie, though, it's still moving forward.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 12 2017 (Sat)

Drinking - yes, though odd.  Had the chance to get more, but...didn't.  Strange.

Paid work - nothing, it is Saturday.

Creative work - some.  Not much, but some.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 11, 2017 (Fri)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - some.  Could be worse.

Creative work - actually created and animated an entire shot!  Working on other art for the same project, and coalescing the story.  So, good on that front.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 10, 2017 (Thurs)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - some.  Not great but not bad.

Creative work - quite a bit, though this project keeps getting longer.

See you later tonight.

Aug 9, 2017 (Wed)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - some.

Creative work - again, some.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 8, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking - no.  Let that sink in!

Paid work - not much, but some.

Creative work - nothing concrete.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 7, 2017 (Mon)

Drinking - yes, hardly a question that needs asking now.

Paid work - quite a decent bit, really.

Creative work - some, working on graphics for the new essential bits.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 6, 2017 (Sun)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - none.

Creative work - some decent follow-ups on yesterday's work.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 5, 2017 (Sat)

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - none. 

Creative work - quite a bit.  Started to put things into a final form (for the first chapter or so) and got some ideas about other scenes that might be needed.

See you later today.

August 4, 2017 (Fri)

Drinking -yes, but at least it's justified!

Paid work - a lot.  I mean, a very good lot.  So there's that.

Creative work - some, getting closer to that, uh, half-way point, or something.

See you tomorrow, unless I'm very lucky.

August 3, 2017 (Thurs)

First of all, sorry for missing this yesterday.  And now, on with the show!

Drinking - yes.

Paid work - not much, and an incredible bonus as well.

Creative work - some work on the Project, which is starting to seem like "Tweaking" but progressis actually being made, so...

See you later tonight.

Aug 2, 2017 (Wed)

Drinking - of course.  Wow, this keyboard hates me.

Paid work - not bad.  Didn't fix anything, but got the process started.

Creative work - nothing really.  Some planning, rearranging, but nothing concrete.

See you tomorrow.

Aug 1, 2017 (Tues)

Drinking -yes.  Great start to the month, right.  Shame it just won't kill me.

Paid work - not bad, a decent amount, with more to come.

Creative work - more work on the Project, as the narrative takes hold, and as the characters (well be honest, character) starts to shape his story.

See you tomorrow.
