I opened my eyes this morning to a thick fog, so heavy I could hardly see. I looked out the window and saw the same thing. The desire to go back to bed was almost overwhelming. I doubt that there's enough coffee in the world to make a dent in my current state of logey.
Speaking of coffee....a shout to the clerks at Starbucks (yeah, you can give 'em a fancy name like "barista" but they're still just clerks); when someone orders a QUADRUPLE GRANDE CARAMEL MACCHIATO, don't look at them funny, don't ask them to repeat it, don't ask them if they're sure, please, by all that's holy, JUST MAKE THE DAMN THING!
Yes, Hunny Bunny was not at home this morning to make sure I was properly caffeinated before venturing out into the world. I apologize to the world in general and to TTC and Starbucks employees in particular.

While Jules was not referring to me in this post, she might as well have been. My game has descended to truly donkalicious levels - on any of the poker sites I go to, my account is below ten bucks. And in some cases, below a dollar. It's hard not to feel like an stunned idiot during times like these.
I think it comes down to too many irons in the fire. School is back in session and already I'm so far behind, I think I'm first. I have several web design clients that have popped out of the woodwork suddenly. I have other classes going on besides school - I'm teaching knitting and crochet this week. And now that the weather has turned cold wet and dreary, some of my attention has turned back to my other obsession: knitting.
So I've spent some time reflecting on poker (among other things) while I knit away, trying to finish the sweater from hell before the weather cycles back to summer again. Instead of reloading my poker accounts, I've been curled up watching poker DVD's and listening to poker audiobooks and podcasts as I knit.
Some of it has been sinking back in, but I'm reluctant to jump back in the water until I know the rocks under the surface have been cleared.

Don't forget it's the Mookie tonight, now hosted by Full Tilt. Personally, I'm going to mitigate the effects of donkaliciousness on my wallet by playing the PokerSavvy freeroll on Poker.Com

I just tell myself when a certain event is going to start that I'm looking forward to (right now its the Bash of course) and the dreary days go by much quicker :)
