Minor annoyance of the day:

I started eating a chocolate chip cookie this morning. I no longer have this cookie, but I still have a strong feeling that I didn’t eat the whole cookie yet.

Usually, this means I set the partially-eaten cookie down somewhere, and just need to find it.

However, I’m having uncommon difficulty finding it this time around.

This means that either

1. I actually ate the entire cookie, and for some reason my usually-reliable mental inventory decided to continue listing the wholly-eaten cookie as half-eaten…
2. Or, I set down a half-eaten cookie, and my usually-reliable skill at locating cookies I set down is failing to find it.

Either one is both 1. annoying and 2. less-than-reassuring in regard to the health of my short-term memory.

I know there are worse things in the world, but sometimes I have to take a moment for the little things as well.

Damn cookie.
