Week 7 - Silver Queen

My despair from the previous week has passed. I've patched up some large holes in my play, and have renewed confidence. But, I'm still not where I'd like to be.

Week 6 - Despair

I'd planned to play a lot of mahjong, but I ended up not playing too much. I could make some excuses, but the truth is, it just started really getting to me.

Week 5 - Health

Incredibly, I'm still sick. I'm starting to get worried. Maybe I'll have to go see a doctor? In any case, I did play some Mahjong this week.

Week 4 - Sickness

I've had a sinus infection with a dash of migraines all this week, so there won't be a real update this time. Sorry! I know I said I'd play on bad days, but there's a difference between thinking poorly, and not being able to think. On the bright side, I have all next week off work, so I'll be able to play a lot!
