Marzipan Day

I'm afraid today was my first fail (but I have a good excuse). I went to two grocery stores and a bakery, but couldn't find any marzipan cookies. I know I could have made some because they're only almond paste and powdered sugar, but then I'd have had a whole batch of cookies I don't love. So I settled for sugar free almond crescent cookies from the HEB bakery, which I'm sure tasted worse than the real thing.

Now for my excuse... I went to my retina specialist this morning because my ophthalmologist saw a strange spot on my eye with wet macular degeneration. After major dilation and many, many pictures, today's doctor said it looks clear. So now I can have the cataract removed on that eye. It may or may not improve my vision (the other one didn't), but I'm willing to take the chance. So all that happened this morning and the dilation didn't wear off until about 4. I'm not a fan of driving around in late afternoon traffic, so that's why I failed today. I'm not proud.
