Lost in semis of consolation.  Lost 2@25 to -----, won 8@25 from ----- in the 6-1 prop.  ----- game in progress, no idea what the score is.  Left the club for a break before work; got vitamin shopping done earlier-

was sitting in Viand prev entry till they closed.  Wandered around the neighborhood in search of a nice place to sit and read/write, which search brought me to this place (corner Lex/3rd) - nice large macchiato for $2.25.  ----- is for some reason creeping into my head - I remember a petty spat we had over the word "macchiato."  No wonder we're not together anymore.  I still feel badly that it ended in such a dull-thud way.... Neither of us could hide our disgust any longer.

After this early morning's entry I stopped drinking Guinness and switched to water and green tea.  I still crave clarity.  I slept only about 3½ hours but dreamed intensely and felt sufficiently rested to play in the tournament.  That thanks, at least in part, to having meditated twice.

It's back to basics.  Work, eat, walk, meditate, sleep.  For the time being, no alcohol.  Caution in gambling.  Save money, pay the damage as soon as possible.
