Hi, play more. Out of the last 4 days you've played 6, 11 and 5 games, and 0 games on the last of december but I guess that is understandable. In your last blog I said that you should play 10h a day, that much is probably not necessary but at least try to play 30 games a day. A game is usually around 12 minutes, so that's 6 hours of playtime. Add a few hours of reading/analyzing/talking/watching starcraft to that and you should improve fast enough. As I said in the last blog, if you don't start playing more people in GM will just improve faster than you and you'll never make it there.
If you've got no work or school or anything, I dont see why you wouldn't play way more if you're serious about this. Good luck.

Some tips:
-If you see a protoss taking a fast expansion like that, take your third! Don't wait!
-You did great keeping your gas low, just find a way to spend that money! Build more lings/expansions/macro hatcheries. If you don't have enough gas, expanding will help you get more to balance out your resources.
-Suicide lings/overlords to scout what he is doing!
-Corruptors + infestors is good against carriers

Just a simply tip for ZvT, dont underestimate mutas, always get +1 attack right when the spire pops. Don't waste gas on banelings before you already have a decent amount of mutas (12 or so) because any early push can be held with lings and spines. Oh, and if you have some extra minerals, dont be afraid to be libral with spines, it makes dealing with drops soooo much easier. Last tip, when you are dealing with only lings, be sure you can see as much of the map as possible, a few marines and an unseiged tank is easy to crush, but the second it sets up, you life just got much, much harder.

I really do need to play more. I just started a new job, that has been kicking my ass, not only am I trying to get used to a swing shift i've never done before, but it's also a pretty physically demanding job, and I've been lazy when it comes to working out =P I am hopeful to be more used to the schedual soon so I don't spend most my day sleeping. I really want to be playing more, and will, but I have to be able to support myself.
I know that 4 hours a day is not going to be enough forever. I know that there will be a point where I need to play 8-10 hours a day inorder to really improve, but that time is not now. I don't see the point in overwhelming myself at the beginning. I've seen great improvement over the last month, and am very happy with my work thus far.
I really appreciate the constructive critisim, I need comments like this to keep me in check. I hope I can show you, and everyone else that I am trying, but I can't give up on supporting myself just yet =P

So I decided to give up for my cynicism and give some advice for now.
Part of getting better at something is setting a routine for yourself. It's hard to say "I'm going to play 30 games a day until I make pro!!", that's setting unnecessary constraints on yourself. Instead just say that you go to sleep early when you come home from work and launch the game and start playing as soon as you get up.
It's a fact that when you love you don't count (that's borrowed from french but nvm), don't count the number of games you play, just play until you need to get to work or have an errand to run.
This works great for me, a couple months back I was playing over 100 games a week following this.
Maybe I was wrong being negative, but we'll see. What will be will be, have fun.
Also... transfering half your drones is not a bad idea, actually it seems pretty intuitive that you'd want equal saturation on both bases
