one post for september



haven't really done much this month. my back is still not up to shape to do anything other than go to work and sit all day. i did start stretching a few days ago and its helping lots. i noticed that my abs and calves are super tight. just stretching these every days seems to be making a really noticable positive difference.



just found out today on cnn's front page that the medication i've been taking, Vioxx, has just been pulled. i guess it'll have to force me to change my medication after all. its a good thing since my body has adapted to all the anti-inflammatory effects of Vioxx, and it feels like it hasn't been doing squat for at least the last two months.



one other thing i started doing this month is play online poker. i finally put some money into an account and have been trying different games. Ring games from penny NL, to .02/.04 - 1/2 Limit. Also playing the Sit & Go mini tourneys. I think I've figured out how to stay in the positive in different games of Hold em, but what hurts my bankroll is the lack of patience. I know what not to do, but I don't follow through. because even in these small stakes, the yield is not really too significant if you play in a controlled manner. i think once this month is over, I'm gonna try to play in a $1-$3 big tournament at least once a week. maybe a few times a week if I'm up to it. I just need to win one and I'll be up at least $1000. that'll be nice.



so I'm gonna continue stretching and this should help me get back to my usual activities. i wanna go back to the gym. i miss it quite a bit.
