It’s the first of September, which means two things: my birthday month is here and so is Autumn. To help get me in the spirit this morning I downed a gingerbread latte and promptly switched the door wreath to something much more festive. September isn’t really my favorite month (mostly because I have a bad history with disappointing birthdays) but I’m trying to make the most of it!

This evening I met up with Mary and my husband in Guildford to go see the movie War Dogs. The movie itself was okay, nothing amazing, but it was nice to get out of the house and go do something. Plus I got the chance to play around with my makeup before I went and ended up creating a really autumnal smokey eye.

I feel like I don’t have all that much to report considering the fact that I’m still trying to pull myself out of the slump I seem to have slipped into this week. It’s tricky enough as it is to navigate life on a day to day basis but when you have to actively encourage yourself to feel less shitty it’s a whole other playing field. Not totally sure that makes sense, but there you have it.

Anyway, that about sums up the day for me. I’m slowly plodding along in Alien: Isolation (it took me an hour to build up the courage to crawl out from underneath a table and move to the next room) and hopefully I’ll come across a save point soon because I hate having to leave the PS4 on when I’m not using it! For now I’m going to call it a night and head to bed. See you tomorrow.
