Comforting Things
I hope I’m not in need of comfort as the election results roll in tonight here in the US, but just in case, a few things that shore up my soul in times of trouble:
Big, fat novels, re-reading favorite novels or novels by Jane Austen. (These aren’t mutually exclusive, I know.)
Flannel sheets and fluffy duvet over cushy chenille mattress pad over firm mattress, with puffy propping pillows for reading.
Being surrounded by books, in my bedroom, a bookstore or a library.
TV procedurals with character development. People to get involved with, formulas, and a tidy ending. So satisfying.
Oversize flannel or fuzzy pajamas.
Cookies, pie and cake.

You really should take up knitting. Very comforting.

Yes to all of the above. Also? Alcohol. Or at the very least, a nice big mug of cocoa or tea.
