I am sick! and it isn't awesome at all!

The last few days have been a bit of a blurr, I have been sick and not a good kind either. I think it's a combination severe cold and Flu, I won't go into details but if you can think of it I am experiencing it!
A few friends have been doing well playing poker and I have been actually helping some PVT members work on their tournament game, I didn't realize the insight I can share and how much it can help my learning process.
I am looking forward to more new training videos tomorrow, and wish the best for everybody.
The cat came back and insisted I "ditch" the white squirrel, yet the squirrel has a different meaning to me and my outlook on life, which he, the cat, simply can't appreciate. I put the squirrel on the "shelf" with a picture to look at each morning, and am putting my faith back in the cat.
Nick Rainey at PVT has completed the prop bet and should be returning to having more time for PVT members again. I am still waiting to play him HU for the FNF's from a few months ago.
I played a PVT member, Jotagran, in some HU matches and learned a lot from the experience. Jotagran defeated me 4 - 1 and did so with, ease. I can see where I played some hands wrong and look forward to improving my game for the future.
Just a short blog today as I don't have much energy and my thoughts are not complete and keep losing focus. I will return to playing poker on a larger scale once I start to feel better and can get a full night's sleep.
The PokerVT Bounty tournament was not a waste of my time as I was able to get 15th out of over 90 players and feel I am learning from all of my play. When I get knocked out I either know what I did wrong, or it was a "coin flip" that I didn't win, so having said that I know my game is improving. I also am gonna start to move away from free rolls and focus on cash games. Last night I played the Canada free roll on Full Tilt and got 53rd out of 2700, which in any cash tournament would have been a cash yet not a free roll that only pays the top 27. Though there is a certain comfortability I find in playing free rolls and I won't be able to quite "cold turkey".
Tomorrow training videos and lots T.V., forum reading and chatting with friends. The cat asked he if could go join Landman for an event this Tuesday which my in turn could help score a Final Table and even possibly a win! Good Luck with the cat at your side, yet your skill should get you ITM and TID, go with your "gut" and listen to it.
Bertha is almost completely fixed and is running as good as she ever was, thanks to help from a friend across the sea who's knowledge far surpasses that of mine in "putercore" expertise. Thanks man!
I am sick, I am sore, I am not feeling myself, next post will be once I have returned to better health and can focus on 1 thought for more than 5 minutes.
Cheers and best wishes to anybody who actually reads my blog, and all of the luck at the tables!
