Drinking (Yes/No) No (281/53)

Paid work - not on Sunday.

Creative work -  nothing.

In the interim - very ill the whole day.  Still managed to do the Sunday stuff, but the only time I left the house was to take the trash out.

Overall - really gotta stop with the booze if this is the result.

See you tomorrow.  

November 29, 2025 (Saturday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (281/52)

Paid work - not on Saturday.

Creative work -  nothing.

In the interim - backup time.  

Overall - if the Yes clears the stuff in the fridge, then go ahead.  Otherwise, damn.

See you tomorrow.  

November 28, 2025 (Friday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (280/52)

Paid work - Thanksgiving weekend, no work today.

Creative work -  work on the window bit.  No matter what I do, adding the rain effect breaks up the other layers badly.  Even compressing the trees into one layer and the clouds into another, and the rain still fractures things.  Without it, it works.  I'd kind of like it to be in there somehow.  UPDATE: removing the rain completely from the flashing bits and it works great.  

In the interim - not as tired today.  Went to Best Buy earlier afternoon, and it was unusually crowded.  Normally on Black Friday the events are over around mid-morning and things are calm.

Overall - glad to get another No.  Thinking about beer made me feel ill, which I think is good.  Still there in the fridge though.

See you tomorrow.  

November 27, 2025 (Thursday)

Drinking (Yes/No) No (280/51)

See you tomorrow.

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (280/50)

Paid work - a bit of training.  Last day of the work week...last November work for me.

Creative work -  got some good rainstorm animation, added it to the project and...seems to've disrupted things.  Need to look at it tomorrow.

In the interim - really wanted a No but what can I do.

Overall - at least I can sleep in (provided the cat).

See you tomorrow.  

November 25, 2025 (Tuesday)

Drinking (Yes/No) Yes (279/50)

Paid work - mostly slow, lots of driving and some training.

Creative work -  got the animation finished for the "window" thing.  Still need some rain effects I think.  And sound.  Got some rain noises from the current weather.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.
