MiniFtops has come & gone

Off to a mediochre start here in 2013 as far as volume of play goes. I'm not even getting into many of the priv./cash-added games these days. Am working on a schedule with work/poker so that I'll be able to play 3days/wk. & hope to be doing so by March. MiniFtops just finished yesterday with the MainEvent. I had two entries ($75) having won the tickets in an $8 satellite. Managed to get 947th with one of them for $171.20 Satellites were real profitable. With a less than $75 investment I managed to win ~$485 worth of miniFtops tickets, including a $109 buyin, 1x $55 (10-game) but used it for a $55 turbo satty to the 2-day $216, 3x $33, a bunch of $22's & a $10. Cashed in 3 of the MiniFtops events, #18, #19 & MainEvent, for total of ~$270. Overall profit for series was $200. No biggy but was fun and had good experience with it (ie. KO'ing some of the HSMTT regs. & getting the oppurtunity to play on tables with players I pretty much only rail). No other big cashes to speak of so far for 2013. Best finish so far was a 4th in the $2.75 buyin, $4k Gtd. on Pokerstars for ~$300. Entered it on a whim while railing g/f as she was crushing the MiniFtops#1 (she was doing great! sitting in top10 for a few hours, even chip leader of the tourney for awhile). She ended up going out in ~200th spot for ~$240 (she also did great in some sng's, running $20 up to $600 in one afternoon!... then doing it again to $300. Perhaps I'm playing the wrong games???) Feeling overwhelmed today with the amount of work I have lined up at my job. It is just nuts! I have 3wks. of 10hr. days sitting here and know that once I'm into it there'll be more piling on regularly. One hour at a time... one unit at a time. Some is better than none & it will NEVER be at a point where it is all completed (< something I'm beginning to accept after years of trying to forge ahead for a much needed break... ain't gonna happen.. at least not while I'm managing the old building).
