sesame cookies, MADD

Do you think baking cookies should be done at a certain time of day? I tend to think of it as an afternoon / evening activity, but I baked some sesame cookies this morning. They're not very good. I'd made them once before years ago, back when Erik and I lived in Bishop. I remember liking them more then.

Anyway, halfway through I decided I didn't like them so amended the batter by adding some almond extract and maple syrup. Then I pressed an almond onto each, so we'd know which is which. The almond ones are maybe better. Definitely different. Anyway, my friend C says sesame cookies are her favorite, which is why I wanted to try these again, but my recipe must not be very good....

I got really depressed yesterday but feel better today. Maybe yesterday was so hard because I missed my walk. But I think Sundays tend to be difficult because looking forward to five days alone--it's hard for me, to be alone so much.

I put in an application to volunteer for the local MADD. I want to do office work for them. I think it will be scary at the beginning but hopefully become simple. Scary going to a new place and interacting with new people, I mean. Today I finally heard back from them. They want to know if I'll work with youth, because then they need to do a background check. But I don't want to work with youth.
