Soooo tired. But am still coughing myself awake as soon as I lay down, so restful sleep eludes me. And will for some time.

Trying to deal with PVD (Post Vegas Depression) as best I can by playing poker, but online seems flat after a weekend of irl frivolity with these people.

I played the CC Thursday bash tonight, where I left in 9th place of 14, which leaves me tied for third with 23skidoo on the big money leaderboard. Many thanks to my sis-in-law for the railbirding and giggles in the chat!

Will our heroine pull it out of the fire? Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel.

OK, Vegas is now behind me; time to stop my gaze from looking longingly over my shoulder and direct it forwards.

The holiday season is soon upon us, but better than that is my two and a half weeks off (insert wild cheering here). The plan is for Hunny Bunny and I to hop in the car and drive out to Calgary, ostensibly to visit my brother and his family (who I miss desperately). But an added bonus is to hang with Joanada, who by happy coincidence lives pretty damn close to my bro.

I'm glad to have a new countdown. 12 days to go.

And now that Vegas is over, we can all turn our eyes to the next one, a mini one, a blogger meet-up lite if you will: Eh-Vegas.

The dates are set at February 10-11, and as well as a game (duh), there are visits planned for here, here and here.

Confrmed so far is me, Jules, Graham, Joanada, Iakaris, Guin, and Astin. Lots more are tentative. Details to follow as they appear....

Dear heart, if you keep picking at a scab, it will never heal. And it will leave a bitch of a scar as a lasting reminder.

Just leave it be.
