Drinking (y/n) - No (137/105)

Paid work - mostly slow day.  Not too bad though (did some creative work)

Creative work - had an idea while falling asleep about inverting the glass tubes (white to black) so that they could "be lit" when the lamps came on, rather than just appearing.  Worked on more of the clothing videos and completed and imported them into Vegas.  Sort of coming along.

In the interim - gasoline day.  Not too bad.  The thing under my tongue popped out on its own, after I made an appointment.
