I mean, I slept like four hours per night this week, because I'm stressed at and about work. Yesterday I felt like I was going to pass out during the entire day. And I still didn't actually fall asleep until 11.
This morning I did things that "normal people" do habitually. Shave (first time since probably last Wednesday). Take out the garbage (ditto). Buy groceries (same). These are Large Accomplishments in my world.
It's been a rough last couple of weeks.

Last night was a celebration of the horrible stress over house-hunting finally being lifted. It hasn't helped that I'm working in an office this fortnight. Shock to the system. Commuting is the worst.
These games are going really fast!

Commuting IS the worst. This is why I moved to a much shittier apartment which is much closer to work.
And yes, fast games. Both look really strong on serve.

Janie. I fell asleep at 11 and woke up well-rested at 8:30! I did all sorts of things this morning! Is this what adults do?!?!?!? That's what I hear! I'm thrilled to ever get 7 hours of sleep. So the tennis is underway? Okay got to shut down, hook up the cables, turn on tv! Go go go!

Tortuous Federer/Adele comparison from the commentators. Please be quiet. I miss the commentator-free streams of the early rounds.

I walked eight miles today, and it started pissing down when I was about half a mile from home, and now I'm debating whether to go out in it again to get a takeaway, because I want one, and because the only other food I have is some kind of squash that I don't know what to do with, and a frozen pie that will take about four hours to cook.
I see there is now tennis happening. This may affect my decision.

Now that point was insane!
Why was the crowd already making hysterical noises when they simply exchanged 5 forehands at each other? Distracting!

Haha, you are all so pessimistic.
It was Fed's first serve going AWOL that made the TB so close, but it didn't matter in the end.

Federer wins that set and that is HUGE.
I've said it before and I'll say it again right now -- Djokovic goes down here, and his year, record notwithstanding, is W SF W SF. We've seen tons of years like that before and they're obviously great but nothing special.
