December 1. This year flew past quickly (especially in comparison to 2020, which crawled at a glacial pace).

A new dog bed was ordered today, a large and expensive one with a cover that Tractor Supply suggests might not be ripped up by the dog who rips up dog beds. This will complement the ones here already and possibly outlast several of those. There are a couple that need to go away once a new one arrives.

Laundry, dishes, and sweeping are finished and I hope to maintain the current tidy level for a while. Can I keep the dust and clutter at a minimum during the holidays? It's a personal challenge.
