If things continue to turn around, I will someday look back on March of 2009, and be proud of myself. For the first time in a long time, instead of putting my head down trying to push through all the adversity, I stopped pushing and something amazing happened. I realized that the wall I had been beating my head against had an open door two steps to the left and I couldn't see it because I was being so narrow minded in my focus and approach.
I know that it's not going to be all upswings and life robusto from now on, but I've got the strength, confidence and roadmap to get me through the tough times in the future.
I'm going to get back into more consistent writing in April. Part of stepping back, was not worrying about keeping up the blog amongst other things, but the next three months are going to be fast paced and exciting in the Burro household as we get ready to move to Austin...........Finally.

Post #15 - Recovery
That is my goal for March...........REBUILD & RECOVER.
Things have been so sh!tty recently, that writing about them isn't even cathartic. If something can go wrong recently, it has. I'm really trying hard to keep a positive outlook on everything, but it's just getting harder and harder each day that I have drag myself to the job I hate. I really think all the other things would seem so much less troubling if I wasn't miserable for 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. So, I'm starting to formulate my "exit strategy". Luckily, my beautiful and intelligent wife may be starting her dream job in Austin this summer, which means finally getting out of Htown, and possibly having a bit more financial freedom to take a pay cut and do something I love (fingers crossed).
My workouts have come to a stand still due to my recent bout with teh shingles, but I'll be getting back to regular 6 day/week sessions now that I'm close to 100%.
Last, but certainly not least, poker. L.O. f'n L. Play bad, run bad. Play good, run bad. I've tried it all recently. Super NIT, TAG, LAG, you name it, I've tried it, and I can't seem to find a style that works for me. My coach seems confident that I am just going through a rough patch, and that I should be able to beat these limits easily, but my confidence is shot. I pretty much put the coaching on hold to go back and start from scratch watching as many of the uNL and ssNL vids as I can, and...........drop down to NL50.
