stress

The Bournemouth trip started well had a nice round of golf and a couple of cash games where i only dropped a few buyins. Unfortunately my back window got smashed by a golf ball forcing me to miss the last round of golf instead I had to drive around bournemouth trying to find a place that was going to replace it for me. With little more than the name of a place i got lost easily (sat nav seems so tempting at times like these). I got a call as i was driving from the garage trying to give me directions i took it because i was already in a mess. As i stopped at some lights some twat behind thinks he will give me some abuse for using a phone on the move, he obv saw the state of my car and assumed i was some lunatic boy racer, ironically the only reason i could hear him was that i had no back window.
This nearly sent me over the edge, getting out and venting my frustration on him seemed like a reasonable option at this point. Im not a violent person but i had had about 8h sleep over two days and had driven hundreds of miles only to have to pay £175 out of my overdraft for a new windscreen. Fortunately i didnt and just pulled into a sideroad and calmed down. I nearly gave up here and wanted to drive home back window or no back window.

Finally after another phone call and stopping to ask 3 locals for directions i got there and the job was done. I paid for it and drove back to the golf club hoping to get at least some money as it was in their car park when it happened. The receptionist took a photocopy of the invoice and the manager didnt even come to speak to me. At this point i should have kicked off and demanded to see the manager but the receptionist had been so nice to me throughout the two days even saying that if it was her decision the club wold pay the bill i couldnt face kicking up a stink. Im yet to hear from them but will ring them in a couple of days.

Just to make sure my stress levels stayed in the danger area when i got to the severn bridge toll bit i used the coin bin lane only to find when i got there i only had £5.15 in change and the cost is £5.30 obv here they cant just let you through i had to wait for someone to come along and change a fiver for me all the while holding pple up behind.

Poker wise im realy starting to swing the last few days results have been +320 -350 and +500 along with some recent health problems im not sure i can handle the emotional swings anymore.
On a more positive not my br is at $6800 or so, so not a lot of damage has been done over the last month.
Right qualifying is starting so i wot bother with graphs or hands except for this call down i made against a TAG. With metagame considerations i was very confident he was gona 3 bet me pre here. The guy is a 16 13 regular so i was very happy with my read.
