Took some time Off! :)

I caught some mild virus last week and was not in the mood to study.  Due to laziness I played >40 5-min games on ICC.  My rating went from 1411 to ~1300 and back up to 1432.  I attribute the downlide to the virus.  I still feel very rusty and keep dropping Queens. Playing blitz does not noticeably remove my rustiness (have not played in 2 years).  Basically, I need to stay from ICC and focus on learning.
