I have a pan of chicken stock cooling for use this week (I'll make rice with it). Laundry almost finished. Some lights up and I'll put out more decorations - carefully placed to be out of dog reach. It'll be interesting doing gifts - I'll try Liz's trick of gift wrapping a large box to put gifts into and keep the box up out of the way until the dogs have been let out for the morning.

I have an idea for storing canning jars in my pantry - I have to do some measuring first - I may make headway there today. It's another heavy overcast day and I find moving furniture and generating endorphins is a good way to counter to SAD blues.
