    <content type="html">I hope all who celebrate have a Merry Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm continuing with daily brief blots for Yule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've usually done apple pie as a holiday dessert over the years, but this year I'm doing pumpkin pie, which I'll start in a bit. I've been wearing only a sweatshirt or my light winter coat to take the dog out, so I don't see any signs of a white Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The orientation for the new contract seems to be going good. I'm learning their platform and way of doing things. I plan on making soap sometime next week. Some for the shop and some for me. I'm curious about shampoo bars, so that'll be the batch for me. I recently made some lotions bars and lip balm. They turned out good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vet gave me some estimates for meds she wants the dog on. Yikes! Even with getting some reimbursed, I can't afford the monthly shot. There are two others that are doable though, so that's what we're going to get for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ivyskeep&amp;ditemid=24250" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
