April Hate

I've only played 33 games in the last 7, compared to like 200 in the first 14 days of April.

I'm still down in April, but only because of my bad 50 game run at the 220s.

Stress level has been up this month as I'm prepping my business for the season (probably start first job Sunday). There has also been a lot of beer events and band events going on (Two different bands I know are made up of friends of mine that took a hiatus for the last 6 months decided to start playing again this month). So yea, pretty busy and I haven't handled my 220 downswing coupled with a standard 110 downswing very well. Thus, I've limited my playing time which has kind of frustrated me more, but I can't really force myself to play b/c I know it's a bad decision.

I'll have to figure out how I'm going to get to 10k vpps again this month, I had over 6k at the halfway point of the month despite some bad variance and now I only have 7k.

My upcoming schedule looks something like this:

Wednesday: Ready some equipment for the business, prepare business flyers, finalize opening month budget.

Thursday: Pass out flyers, attend tapping of new beer at brewery for mug club.

Friday: More flyers, attend pre DLD festivities later at night at the brewery.

Saturday: AM: Attend Dark Lord Day at Three Floyd's Brewery. It's a once a year festivity where the brewery sells (6 per person) 22oz bottles of their famous "Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout." It's generally rated as one of the top 1-3 beers in the world (I think it was 1-2 on most big lists this year).

Not sure how long this will last, but if I'm out of there at a reasonable time I'd imagine I'll be doing job estimates Saturday evening.

Sunday: At a minimum do 2 jobs, training my little brother b/c he wants to be my main worker this summer (he's 17 going to be a SR. in HS next year). Attempt to schedule them so we can make a late afternoon round of golf with my father and grandpa.

There's also some sort of 7 course dinner with 7 beers at the brewery later next week. I forget when.

So yes, busy schedule, kind of a stressful and frustrating month, hopefully I can just focus and have good results and go on some sort of a grinding tear in my downtime.

I'll try to get another big strat post done before May but no promises.
