After a victorious few days, I've successfully managed to drop 2k today. Even during my white hot fire session, I was bothered by how insanely high variance this game is, but it's easier to stomach when winning than losing obviously. The 200 games basically just hooked me up with lots of preflop coolers and boards where the flop made my hand marginal, the turn made it worse and the river said, LOL GL REDLINE just fold and start sucking dick for BB's instead!
The nl400 games were juicy so I decided to load up a few since I'm feeling very confident that I'm +EV in them and I promptly lost KJdd v 89dd on T7xdd AKs v QQ and KQ v K8 versus some donk HU on K85cc.
In conclusion, I'm gonna go shoot stray kittens and accept that the universe won't let me back into midstakes any time soon, apparently.
