How do you title an unhappy post?

I thought I was reading the scores wrong. I must've reread them 39 times, but I was not misreading them.

I coped by going to the swap meet and spending way too much money on a metallic mixed-media sculpture/painting of a school of sardines. Then I came back to the condo and made a sickbed on the couch with pillows and blankets and ate homemade raspberry ice cream as I contemplated the awfulness of Rafa's match and the impossibility of finding a logical place to display my new piece of marine artwork. The sardines, leaning against the wall in the corner, seemed to be mocking me.

So I took a shower and put on my glasses and then watched far too many episodes of "Ice Road Truckers" and "Law & Order" and tried to pretend none of it was happening.

I'm beginning to get over it, but...

Ugh. This is an awful thing. I think I was just sort of taking it for granted, you know?

I sat through almost the whole thing, though I have to admit that I had to go out in the garden for most of the fourth set. Of course Rafa has his bad days, like anyone, but why did it have to be against Soderling, of all people? OK, Murray would have been as bad, but - as you say - ugh. :(

The Soderling bit is borderline unbearable. Oh well, nothing that can be done about it now. He will be well-rested for Wimbledon :)
