Mmmm…cookies and a dead mouse

It has been one of those very disappointing/frustrating days where everything goes wrong and you just want to crawl back into bed.

So, I decided to make up a batch of my absolute favorite cookies.

Cookies just make things better.

I followed my tried and true recipe (which, if I’m honest, I uses about once every 2 weeks. Shameful.) and the dough came out all wet, gooey and just plain wrong.

Why?
What mystic force causes this?
What is it that comes over us on certain days and turns everything we do into a ridiculously frustrating, embarrassing failure?

With any luck things will be better tomorrow. The mystic force might be wearing off because these malformed cookies actually taste really good.

Unfortunately, no amount of cookies will ever save my newly departed Logitech Performance Mouse MX.

I am still in shock over it. I expected it to last forever.

That’s what I get for paying $80 for a high end computer mouse.

Meanwhile, I am back to using a basic $10 mouse that I have had and used for ages and is still going strong. Let this be a lesson to all of us.
