Silver linings, small as they may be...

The failed Recall, the women-hating news, waiting for the ACA decision from the SCOTUS is like a huge dark cloud... BUT...

Some things give me an immense amount of child-like joy, almost glee. One of those things is getting the exactly correct amount of milk to cookie ratio. It's difficult to get this measurement right as my cookie portions often vary, and then it's hard to gauge the milk portion. But tonight, I nailed it.

Kay, who else will share a small pleasure to take the mind off the dark clouds?

New socks are comforting -- especially on days when lawmakers are censored because they say the word vagina.

Maybe I should get a pair of socks tomorrow.

On edit: I hadn't noticed before, but I like your Buddha, MindMover.
