Livre d'Or

Thank you for reposting with the non-scary pic!

I think part of the reason why I had such a miserable time yesterday is that I'd kind of planned on just nipping into town and grabbing a couple of things. So I didn't allow for lunch in the schedule, nor any real breaks, which made it not very surprising that I was exhausted by the time I finished at 5 o'clock! I need to get more flexible about changing plans. It should have been obvious by 1 o'clock that the couple of hours thing wasn't going to happen, but I had it fixed in my mind that I was in a hurry, so I didn't want to stop for unplanned distractions.

I guess I don't appreciate chocolate very much when shopping; I'm using it medicinally, kind of, my feet hurt and my arms hurt and I need sugar rush now. Which means that it cheers me up from bloody miserable to able to carry on, rather than cheering me from neutral to happy, which is chocolate's normal job. And tea, at least the decent kind, is quite difficult to combine with shopping.
