Yesterday I was still feeling like crap, but instead of sitting around the house fretting about all the stuff I feel too crap to deal with, we took advantage of our National Trust membership and went to Tyntesfield. Sadly we were too late to get into the house (not surprisingly, it sells out early on nice hot Sundays). It's really close (I had thought that Dyrham Park is the closest NT property to us, but Tyntesfield is actually closer, just on the other side of Bristol), so we can do that another time. So the house is still a disaster area, but at least I feel like I've been out and done something.
Got my first order from Direct Cosmetics. I now have more Urban Decay lipsticks (and a bunch of other things) than I will ever be able to use. It's great-I could never afford all that stuff otherwise. They also gave me either a bunch of freebies or half of somebody else's order.
Jason and I were discussing how it sucks that we can't go to Vermont and look at the foliage this autumn; but have also agreed that it's probably a good thing we didn't re-read HP Lovecraft's The Whisperer in Darkness before we went last year (and indeed the works of Lovecraft in general), or we might have cowered in Boston the whole week. Lovecraft: not the poster boy for rural New England tourism.
