Monday

It was a strange week. There was a bereavement on Matt's side of the family. It was expected because of a long illness, but still a shock somehow, and very sad. He's been away, helping sort things out. I've been at home, not doing an awful lot apart from work and writing and rewatching the last season of Angel.

My back is getting better - complaining quietly rather than yelling at me. I'm going to the osteopath later today for more treatment.

Oh, work. I had better get back to it.

Thanks. Yeah, expecting it really doesn't make it easier, which is sort of odd.

Poor Tarte and Bof. :( I feel really a bit down about it all and have done all day, but I'm going to see how the rest of the tournament pans out for him. But judging by today's standards, all I can assume is it's not going to go well. But I might be totally wrong! Roger always seems to be more tentative and nervy in the first rounds anyway. Sigh.

Rafa is out of the Davis Cup. :(

i think the problem with expecting it is that your grief is more real straight away. with an unexpected death, you have that initial period where you're too shocked to understand, and you're sort of numb, which is probably worse in the long term. idk. there's no easy way to lose someone.

i hadn't heard about rafa. that's really sad. he'll be gutted too :(
