Flu > Me (1/25/2013)

I’ve been completely destroyed by the flu during this past week.  I’m still a day or two away from returning to play.  I’ve barely been able to walk much less log a session.  My last session played was Sunday (1/20).  Monday I woke up very sick.

This has been a really disappointing set-back, but all I can do is rest and try to recover asap.  I had logged 100 hours for January with good profit.  It was getting to a point where I could have considered 5/10 shots since I was up a decent amount on the month.  Being sick will most likely end up slashing my January volume by about 30%.  It's been one problem after another during the past few months.  It'd be wonderful to go through an entire month without any major problems.  Imagine... no massive downswings in foreign countries, no car accidents, no psycho girls trying to ruin my life, no serious illnesses.  One can only dream!

Working Hard (1/19/2013)

I haven’t had any sort of a life since 2013 started.  I’ve just been playing, shifting my schedule, studying, and working out.  Yes very boring I know.  These four things have consumed most of my time.  I’ve shifted to an earlier schedule for the first time since becoming pro.  This has been a massive adjustment for me, but I’m feeling better overall.

I’m starting to string together a decent run at mid-stakes, but I don’t feel satisfied at all.  I’m on a long mission and I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me.  I really don’t plan on having any sort of life until my bankroll is very close to where it was before I took a 'shot' in China.  I know this way of thinking isn’t really healthy or logical, but I just can’t justify having much of a social life until I string together some decent months.  Not after what I've been through, not with this kind of chip on my shoulder.

I’ve logged around 100 hours for January so far.  Hoping to stay focused and close the month strong.
