At this precise moment I'm taking it easy. I just ate lunch. Before lunch, I went to the grocery store and bread shop to pick up some things for general meals and...even more cookie-making.

This morning I made homemade marzipan, and blanched, skinned, and halved (vertically), a whole bunch of almonds for the cookies I plan to make. They are marzipan cookies, a German recipe called Bethmannchen cookies. Now that the above tasks are done, mixing the final dough and forming and baking the cookies should be somewhat easy and quick. They're easier cookies to make than many of the ones I've made this past seven days. I'll leave making the remaining harder cookie varieties for tomorrow, Friday, and/or this weekend.

I see my psychiatrist in about three hours. I need to wash my hair. It's looking pretty scraggly. I have been showering daily for a number of days because the cookie making has really been physically taxing, and made me sweat a lot.
