Happy Things

I tried watching the debate last night. I watched the first one and it wasn't so bad. But this one? Holy shit. We were eating dinner while it was on and I started to lose my appetite and feel depressed when it was covering the "grab them by the pussy" garbage so I had to turn it off. Trump is a misogynist piece of fucking shit and it scares me to death that he could possibly run this country. So today, I thought I would write up a list of things that make me happy to keep it light around here and forget about the imminent doom of the upcoming election for 5 minutes:

1. The feeling I get whenever I see a magnificent mountain view 
2. The anticipation that cooler weather brings for the holidays 
3. Bright orange and red leaves 
4. When Lachlan goes, "ahhhhh" when he sees something amusing to him 
5. The smell of The Body Shop's shea body scrub 
6. Having the road to myself 
7. Seeing my parents interact with Lachlan on FaceTime (though in person is even better but you know) 
8. Finding a new project to knit/crochet and finding the perfect yarn 
9. Getting my hair cut 
10. When Lachlan is standing in his crib and smiles at me when I come in to get him 
11. Eating the Halloween candy early 
12. Making photo books on Shutterfly 
13. When the library has a new crochet magazine available 
14. Halloween movies 
15. Christmas movies 
16. When the house is mostly clean 
17. When I don't have a headache 
18. Summer BBQs 
19. Fresh corn on the cob 
20. Amazon Prime 
21. Houses with impressive curb appeal 
22. Going out for breakfast 
23. Full sized freebies 
24. Apple cinnamon scented candles 
25. Thunder storms 
26. A really good book series 
27. Soft chocolate chip cookies 
28. Vibrant sunsets 
29. The smell of wet pavement
