I've been in quarantine the past few days, and will be for a few more with mumps 
Its not been too bad, nothing more than a sore throat mostly, but I've had a ton of free time on my hands, and seeing as I can't go out, I've been playing A LOT of pool.
The problem I've had, if I can call it a problem is the super strength anti-inflammatory pills I've been on. They leave me struggling to make simple decisions. Took me 20 mins to decide if I wanted toast or soup for dinner today. Toast would hurt so soup was the obvious decision, but it took ages to figure it out.
I tried playing pool how I normally play; scrutinising the entire rack of 10 ball, and then going about my business. I couldn't think straight and would mess up. I managed to make a 3 ball run in 10 ball, and I think that was my best since being drugged up I soon decided to just get down and shoot, trying to think was making me mad. Without thinking, about potting, shape or any of that stuff I made a 100+ run in 14.1. First one in about 2 months or so for me. I couldn't believe it! My run came to an end because I had to pee, and when I got back to the table I started thinking again, or trying to think. Balls are dropping in cleanly, I was making the right shot choices, getting nice on each break ball. Wtf?
At this point I'm not sure what to put it down to. Maybe I'm just playing by utter feel for once? I dunno, what do you guys reckon?
