I know the depressed feeling - it's good you were able to get out. I find that always helps. Look forward to seeing your pix - I don't know that area at all.
Hmm, maybe I can get you to help me with my color "issues"! I seldom wear anything outside of the bruise palette - black, dark blue, grey. It's good you have someone to listen. I hate that I still need to talk to friends about my sitch, but it does help.
