最近的 Weekly Doodles 都用來宣布重要消息呀？繼之前是宣布奧運、美網退賽，隔了快兩個月的這篇，是正式確認今年沒望出賽了。比起去年一直在療傷、出賽、療傷、出賽的掙扎，這次痛下決定，長遠來看才是好決定，希望明年不只能順利復出，也能保持長期健康狀態…。 http://www.mariasharapova.com SHUTTING IT DOWN FOR THE YEAR 9/26/2008 12:15:00 AM Hello everyone...ahhh where do I begin? Well it's another Thursday morning ( at least Wednesday is over) and just like all my other weekdays I'm starting it with stim and compression on my shoulder before the strength and all the other fun stuff begins. If it weren't for the amazing writers in the New Yorker, or Chelsea Handlers humor I would be losing my mind by now. Just put me in a suit and I easily fit in to the everyday 9 to 5 workday hours, weekends off sort of deal. I've been progressing really well but its taking a lot longer than I had selfishly planned. Therefore my team and I decided to 'shut it down' for the season. The clinic and team in Phoenix has been incredibly nice and supportive. ( Although they truly believe I have a phone and text addiction) The atmosphere is very united...most of the athletes here have similiar shoulder problems so we can all relate to each other even though most of them are 6'4 heavyweight* muscular pitchers or quarterbacks (and I guess they're pretty darn good but since I never finished that Football For Dummies book, and the only football games I ever watch is when I mistakengly turn on a sports channel, I am so clueless to who they are and what exactly they do.) Every other day we do agility workouts and footwork drills so its nice to have company for a change. To be quite honest this whole experience has been quite the change to my usual yearly pace. On the weekends I have been able to go home and have a normal quiet life...which is so unusual because my days off during the year are so random. Next week I am going to finally hit my first tennis ball and a few weeks after that my first serves. 反正就是持續著無聊的復健工程，雖然進展很好，但比自己私自計畫的長太多了，只好決定本賽季到此為止了。鳳凰城醫療團隊的人都很好 (雖然他們都確信我有手機與簡訊成癮症)，氣氛也很好…來這裡的多數運動員都有類似的肩膀困擾，所以我們可以聊這些，雖然他們幾乎都是又高又壯的投手、四分衛 (雖說我對足球一竅不通，少數會看足球也是因為轉錯頻道，所以我其實不太認得他們，也不曉得他們確實做什麼，但我想他們應該都是很優秀的球員)。這整個體驗完全改變我以往的年度規劃。週末時，可以回家，然後有個寧靜平常的生活…這還真不尋常，因為平常的休息日是很隨機的。然後下週終於可以開始打球，幾週之後就可以開始發球了。 (語氣似乎比以往常見的低落了些。) I'm sure you have heard about my new partnership with Cole Haan that I'm so very excited about. I had my design meeting in NY and I was more nervous presenting my ideas than I was before a GS final. Its a bit awkward coming into a room full of designers that do it for a living...put in the fact that I'm 21 and it makes it that much more awkward. 跟 Cole Haan 的合作，很興奮也很緊張，要去跟設計師們講自己的設計靈感還比大滿貫決賽前緊張哩。 All in all its a really big step design wise for me and I can't wait till next fall when it comes out...its full of everyday-life shoulder bags, flats, comfy boots, casual sneakers and of course a few pairs of killer heels. 等不及明年秋天產品正式上市！ Speaking of fall, I'm very ready for a few chilly evenings after being in the Phoenix heat for the last 6 weeks. You find yourself sweating profusely just getting in and out of the car. And they have these sprinklers coming out of the ceiling which I think are really unnecessary and only make the heat humid. 說到秋天…。 Not to be mean or anything but because I've been taking more runs on the beach I have been blown away by the amount of people that walk around with that E.T looking stick, trying to find coins or whatever else they believe they might find in the sand. Let's be honest here...unless you're at Club 55 in St.Tropez, who in their right mind is going to be bringing expensive jewelry or lots of coins to the beach? Waste of time if you ask me. Not sure how much that stick costs but I'm assuming it would take a while before you're making any sort of profit. 去海灘跑步，遇到不曉得為啥拿棍子在沙子中找東西的人…。 Even though Michael has been out of commission for the last few weeks because of a blood clot in his calf which lead him to staying in the hospital for a few days(don't ask), he's still able to get the quote. Everyone at the clinic were giving him a hard time for not doing the exercises with me to which he said 'This is the exact reason I retired...so I don't have to do this stuff anymore'. 雖說 Michael 因為小腿血凝塊休息了幾週，還得去住院幾天，他還是獲得佳句之最。(不翻佳句內容是因為我掌握不到梗…。) Just a note on hospitals while we're at it...they are exhausting! Within the 30 minutes I was there visiting, about 5 different people walked in and out of his room checking charts, asking questions, making small talk. I'm all for tender-loving-care but if you're not coming in to give the person medicine and making him feel better, why bother? After all, the nurse call button is right next to his thumb if he needs any help. 醫院真的很累人，我去探病那段時間內，三不五十就有人來查表，問問題，小聊一下。無微不至當然很好，但不是真的有幫助就少來煩他啦！ Fashion week was great fun...Peter Som had one of his best collections yet! There is this one long blue dress that I cannot wait to wear! And I was so thrilled to see so many of the designers at my Vogue/Cole Haan event. 時尚週很好玩…。 While in NY I also did a couple really cool photo shoots which will be coming out later in the year...those are always fun because I feel like I get to play a different character on each one of them...and I never get the chance to do them either so that was a change. 之前在紐約時，也拍了兩組照片，稍後應該就會面市，感覺在這兩個拍照中都扮演好多角色。(上面的 Hello! 雜誌應該是其一。) Till next time!!
