Another less-than-full night's sleep, but I'm feeling much more cheerful at the moment, because I didn't lie awake long: woke a couple of times and got back to sleep quickly, and then when I woke around 6:40 and didn't get back to sleep soon, got up and showered. (The alarm is for 7:15 on workdays.) Yesterday afternoon's nap also helped a lot.

It is an absolutely gorgeous day, the sort where going out for a walk on my lunch hour is a pleasure, even if the proximate cause is a visit to the nearest branch of my bank. That dealt with, instead of going straight to get lunch, I walked a few random blocks of Park Avenue (the neighborhood is full of construction, and thus of narrowed sidewalks and those light-blocking safety sheds). Now I have a spinach salad, and am catching up quickly on email. Gym tonight. Library books returned tomorrow. Aunt tomorrow or Wednesday.

Exercised

A good workout, despite needing to make allowances for a sore knee.

Cookie review

Pepperidge Farm has come up with a chocolate version of their chessmen shortbread cookies. Not chocolate-coated, but chocolate-flavored cookies. (For some reason, I keep wanting to refer to them as "biscuits," though the manufacturer doesn't.) I like the original chessmen, so we bought a package.

They're nothing special: my first thought was "no better than the plain," and cattitude thought they're not as good. On further reflection (and two more cookies a day later) I think he's right.

There's nothing wrong with them, and I expect to finish them, but I won't be buying them again, and I'd recommend against them: get the basic chessmen if you're so inclined.
