At $38/dozen I was compelled to try Sibby's cupcakes.

The forecast from 2½ weeks ago has been fulfilled. Our house has been inundated with sweetmeats.

We've received over two dozen boxes of candy, cakes, and cookies. The fruitcake will go into the disaster-preparedness inventory, but the rest will have to be consumed in the next month or two. Some sharing outside the house is unavoidable.

Getting serious about a recent diabetes diagnosis, I bought a continuous glucose monitor. Let's not rush it: I will wait until after New Year's Day to put it on.
