Got lots done today. Found a box of Toby mugs that I had misplaced. Also found a page of song lyrics that I know I had printed out; the page has the URL too, so I can retrieve an electronic copy. I mailed off my Secret Santa present. Whew! Made a pot of beef-noodle soup and used up the last of a bag of apples to make apple crisp. The (artificial) tree is up, but not decorated yet. I need to get new lights. The wreaths and swags & "kissing balls" are all hung, and and some decorations on the mantel.

I think my plans for working part-time have been derailed by year-end budget squeeze. Not looking at any work until February at the earliest, if that. Oh, well. More time for music.
