Well, the room is less dusty...

... unfortunately, I think the dust from my room -- or at least one third of it -- has now migrated to my sinuses, which weren't that great to begin with, thanks to the pollen in the air. But the room looks better than it did, and I was able to clear out some stuff I don't need.

Also, watched the movie "Miss Potter" last night: if you need a cute, sweet movie to watch to get your spirits up when circumstances are getting you down. I've seen one or two other biographical dramas based on Beatrix Potter's life, but this one really goes straight to the heart and, I feel, captures her sense of wonder and the magical realism you find in her books. It inspired me to dig out my one-volume book of the Peter Rabbit stories and also her full-length book "The Fairy Caravan" (one of my favorites when I was a kid) and have a cozy read-through.
